To Hear the Gospel and Make a Difference
Dear friends,
Over the last several weeks, we have been working hard as
the Campaign Leadership Team under the direction of Andrew
Poole, our consultant. I am happy to report that right now we
have over 100 volunteers leading this campaign to make a
difference at Christ the King. We have begun praying together
for God’s blessings and guidance in these important days.
As the beginning of our campaign draws near, I wanted to be
sure that each of you, valued parishioners and friends, have
as much information about the campaign as possible. I also
want you to know that I, along with the Campaign Chairs,
welcome your questions, and will answer all questions with as
much detail as possible. In order to accelerate our communications and make this process as transparent as possible, the
Campaign Leadership team has developed this Information
packet, which will be distributed on this weekend. Please
make sure to take an envelope today.
In this Information Packet you will find:
The Parish Brochure that details for you the urgent
needs of our parish.
Reclaiming Christ’s Mission Together – The diocesan
capital campaign
A Question and Answer sheet that will provide more
detailed answers to your questions.
An I Have a Question form for submitting questions at
Mass or to the parish office. These questions will
be answered in bulletins or in homilies.
Our campaign prayer that we will be praying daily in
order to know God’s will for us.
After a time of information gathering, reflection, and prayer
for God’s guidance, our parish family will come together on
Commitment Weekend on May 9 – 10 to respond to God’s
blessings through a gift to the campaign. Please begin to pray
and reflect on God’s call to you. Please put this date on your
calendar and plan to join the entire parish family for this day
of commitment and celebration. After much prayer and discernment, I have made my own personal pledge of $
$10,000.00 to the parish campaign. I am deeply grateful to
God for my new family of Christ the King parish and school.
God has great things planned for Christ the King. These
things will only come to pass through prayer, active participation and generous giving.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Paulson Mundanmani
Reflections on Sunday
Readings:
First Reading: Acts 3:1315, 17-19
Chapter three of the Acts of the
Apostles describes how Peter and
John healed a lame man who sat
begging each day at the gate of the
temple. The people were astonished at this miracle. Peter used the
opportunity to give a sermon encouraging the people to believe in
Jesus. We hear a portion of that
sermon in today’s passages.
Second Reading: 1 John 2:1-5
During this Easter season, we
are reading from the first letter of
John. It was written for the community from which the fourth Gospel emerged. At the time, this community was seriously divided.
Some members believed that as
long as you had faith in Jesus, it
didn’t matter what you did in daily
life. Today’s passage refutes that
opinion.
