SENIOR MINISTRY NEWS…
Thank you to all who visited the Li le Thri Shop last weekend and helped to make our first birthday a success! It is hard to believe that a year has passed since Fr. Francisco blessed the shop on

some me to spare and want to be a member of this great team of volunteers just call Stephanie at
775-338-5557. She can answer any ques ons you may have and schedule you for a me slot that
fits your schedule. We are also greatly indebted to our many donors for their generous dona ons
of new and gently used items and furniture. Without their regular support we would be hard
pressed to keep the doors open. May God bless you all!

FROM THE DESK OF DEACON RICHARD
YOU’RE BULLETIN
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
This parish is extremely lucky to have such
an active group of Knights. As a parish the
Knights go about having functions for the parish,
contribute to the Walk for Life, Seminarian
Education, and Scholarship Fund as well as to
the parish.
In the next few weeks, the Knights will be
having a membership drive at the Saturday and
Sunday Masses. I urge all young men and family
men to consider becoming a Knight of
Columbus. As a Knight you get a chance to
participate in one of the best of insurance plans
available.
Even prior to the membership drive, seek out
one of the Knights, and speak with them as to
what benefits they enjoy by being a Knight of
Columbus. If you do you will be glad you did.
As a parish we put out a weekly
bulletin for your information on
the parish. What would you like
to see in the bulletin in the
future? The bulletin is only as
good as what the parishioners
want to read.
FRIARS PANTRY
During Lent, let’s be as
generous as we can. Gail has
asked for Easter candy for the
children at Easter. Let’s make
sure that Gail has enough to
make up great baskets for them.
Remember Jesus came to
serve not to be served.
A COUPLE MORE OF ITEMS
Next week the Knights will start to have an article on this page to let the parish know
what is happening.
The Thrift store is always in need of customers. The items that you see there are high
quality, if they do not meet the store standards they are given to Catholic Charities.
LET’S REMEMBER TO
USE THE
ADVERTISERS THAT
SUPPORT OUR
BULLETIN.
THE JOKE OF THE WEEK
BY ROCIO GRADY
Entrada
Misericordia mi Dios por tu bondad, por tu inmensa compasión borra mi culpa.
Lava del todo mi delito, y limpia todo mi pecado.
Reconozco mi culpa, Señor, tengo siempre presente mi pecado.
Contra ti, contra ti solo pequé, cometí la maldad que aborreces.
Hazme oír el gozo y la alegría, que se alegren los huesos quebrantados.
Enseñaré a los malvados tus caminos, volverán a ti los pecadores.
Líbrame de la sangre, mi Dios y cantará mi lengua tu justicia.
Abrirás mis labios, Señor, y mi boca cantará tus alabanzas.
Salmo
Señor, Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna.
Ofertorio
Jerusalén, Jerusalén, por las calles de Jerusalén, sube Cristo con la cruz.
El Señor te eligió, te alimentó por el desierto; el Señor vino a ti, te alimentó con su palabra,
pero tú le llevas a la cruz y el Señor muere por ti, clavado en una cruz.
Yo también, siendo infiel, vendo al Señor con mi silencio; yo también, siendo infiel, olvido a Dios con mis excusas;
pero Él me da la salvación, y su cruz es la señal de amor y redención.
Comunión
Déjanos disfrutar eternamente de tu divina por el misterio de tu amor, tu Cuerpo y Sangre Señor.
Pan que en el cielo bajo, a darnos la eternidad. Aquel que coma este pan, ya nunca más morirá.
El sacramento de amor que el mismo Cristo nos da. Pan de justicia y verdad que nos alivia el dolor.
Final
Peregrino ¿a dónde vas? Si no sabes a dónde ir, peregrino por un camino que va a morir.
Si el desierto es un arenal, el desierto de tu vivir, ¿quién te guía y te acompaña en tu soledad?
El, mi Dios, que me dio la libertad, sólo El, mi Dios, me guiará.
Peregrino que a veces vas sin un rumbo en tu caminar, peregrino que vas cansado de tanto andar.
Buscas fuentes para tu sed y un rincón para descansar. Vuelve amigo! que aquí en Egipto lo encontrarás.
Peregrino sin un porqué. Peregrino sin una luz, peregrino por el camino que va a la cruz.
Dios camina en tu soledad, ilumina tu corazón, compañero de tus senderos buscando amor.

Oración por nuestro Sínodo Diocesano
Padre nuestro, Tú nos has llamado por nuestro bautismo a ser
fieles miembros de tu Iglesia.
Envía el Espíritu Santo a guiar nuestro trabajo del Segundo Sínodo de la
Diócesis de Reno.
Inspíranos a traer nueva vida a la misión de tu Iglesia aquí en el norte de Nevada.
Por medio del trabajo de nuestro Sínodo ayúdanos a ir a donde el Espíritu Santo nos conduzca,
que podamos ser instrumentos de
esperanza para el mundo anunciando la Buena Nueva a toda la gente. Con el ejemplo y ayuda
de María nuestra Madre quien se reunió con los discípulos en el Cenáculo,
ayúdanos a escuchar la llamada del Espíritu Santo.
Ven, Espíritu Santo llena los corazones de tus fieles y enciende en ellos el fuego de tu amor.
Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo nuestro Señor. Amen
