These churches are sites where individuals, families and other groups may make a pilgrimage, a holy journey, seeking, remembering, and receiving God s mercy.

6 6 Welcome to St. Catherine of Alexandria and St. Joan of Arc Greetings from Holly Cerveny ~ Principal at St. Joan of Arc Dear friends, On Thursday, April 28 we held our annual talent/variety show, featuring acts and performances by our students. Our 8th graders served as emcees for our show and students of all ages were involved in the show right down to our 4K dinosaurs. We had drummers, singers, dancers, a hockey player, comedy routines and more. The teachers rounded the show out by leading the school in a favorite brain break song called Pop See Ko. Enjoy these photos from our show.

8 8 Welcome to St. Catherine of Alexandria and St. Joan of Arc The Ascension of the Lord Bear Witness God of power and might, you led Jesus to the Cross, raised him from the dead, and lifted him up in glory. Through his Paschal Mystery, you have given us life everlasting. Pour out your Holy Spirit upon your Church and animate it to bear witness to Christ. Clothe us with the power from on high, and grant us fortitude to proclaim your deeds to the ends of the earth. Enliven our spirits and heal our disbelief. Sustain our hope in you and protect us from all harm. Continue to open the eyes of our hearts so that we may know your glory and forever shout with cries of gladness and sing your praise. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Sunday, May 8, 2016 You Will Receive Power Today s Readings: Acts 1:1 11; Psalm 47:2 3, 6 7, 8 9; Ephesians 1:17 23 or Hebrews 9:24 28; 10:19 23; Luke 24: Traditionally celebrated forty days after Easter, this feast has been transferred to Sunday in many dioceses so that more people have access to celebrate the mystery of the Ascension. It celebrates the exaltation of Christ, when he takes his place at the right hand of God. Since the Resurrection, the disciples have encountered Christ several times. Jesus continued to prepare them to carry out the mission. Today, we hear him commission his disciples (including us) to go out to the ends of the earth proclaiming salvation. This is a powerful image and message. As members of the Body of Christ, we have been gifted with the power from on high, the Holy Spirit, in order to preach the Gospel to all peoples. Though not all of us are called to ordained ministry, or even to be missionaries who travel to other countries, we are called to make known throughout the world all the things that Christ taught and promised. The Church, Christ s Body, becomes a sacrament of his presence for the entire world. Our common life proclaims this Good News. We, the baptized, make up the Body of Christ, a sign to witness, to the ends of the earth, the magnificent love and mercy of our God. Let us continue to shout alleluia and praise God for his marvelous deeds. Consider gathering a group from your parish to strategize new ways of evangelizing the community and your neighborhood.
