6 Help us spread the Joy of the Gospel! Each year on Holy Saturday during the Easter Vigil, thousands of people are baptized into the Catholic Church in the United States. Parishes welcome these new Catholics through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). For more than 50 years St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church and School has welcomed people to celebrate our Christian faith in a Spirit filled community. In September we will once again be offering classes for children and adults who are considering joining the Catholic Church. Classes are designed to learn about the faith and at the same time discover what it means to have a relationship with a loving God who gave his only Son, Jesus Christ, so we could have life in abundance. We are also offering Religious Education for children and adults who are Catholics and would like to complete their Sacraments of Christian Initiation and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ in a Parish family. Invite friends, co-workers, or neighbors to experience the Catholic Faith by participating in one of our Sunday Masses or any of the events we have throughout the year. To find out more information about these classes please call the Parish Office at or , or visit our website: Evangelization is a call for all the baptized! Ayúdanos a compartir la Alegría del Evangelio! Cada año el Sábado Santo durante la Vigilia de Pascua miles de personas son bautizadas en la Iglesia Católica en los Estados Unidos. Las parroquias dan la bienvenida a estos nuevos católicos a través del Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos (RICA). Por más de 50 años St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church and School ha acogido a gente de toda lengua y nación para celebrar nuestra fe cristiana en una comunidad llena del Espíritu Santo. En septiembre volveremos a ofrecer clases para niños y adultos que están considerando unirse a la Iglesia Católica. Las clases están diseñadas para aprender acerca de la fe, y al mismo tiempo descubrir lo que significa tener una relación con un Dios amoroso que dió a su Hijo único, Jesucristo, para que pudiéramos tener vida en abundancia. También estamos ofreciendo Educación Religiosa para niños y adultos que son católicos y desean completar sus sacramentos de iniciación cristiana y profundizar su relación con Jesucristo dentro de nuestra familia parroquial. Inviten a amigos, compañeros de trabajo o vecinos a experimentar la fe católica, participando en una de nuestras misas dominicales o en alguno de los eventos que ofrecemos durante todo el año. Para obtener más información sobre estas clases por favor llamar a la Oficina Parroquial al o , o visite nuestra página web: La Evangelización es una llamado de todos los bautizados!

7 O God, in your providential design you willed that your Church be built upon blessed Peter, whom you set over the other Apostles. Look with favor, we pray, on Francis our Pope as he prepares for his Pastoral Visit to the United States. May his visit to our country and to this National Shrine be for your people a visible source and foundation of unity in faith and of communion. May we be inspired by the joy of the Gospel to live our mission of love for God and neighbor, caring especially for those who are most in need. Through Christ our Lord. Amen Weekday Mass Schedule This year we are keeping the following schedule for weekday Masses during the whole year 8:00 AM English & 7:00 PM Spanish These are some of the nearby parishes that offer early Mass: Church of the Little Flower: 6:15 a.m. St. Louis Church: 6:30 a.m. Church of the Epiphany: 6:30 a.m.
