Thank you to all for a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day
Celebration! Thank you to all who came out to enjoy a
beautiful day filled with fellowship and fun in celebration
of our parish. To all of our amazing volunteers, we
couldn’t have done it without you! We had an army of
volunteers who set up, cleaned up, cooked, served,
worked booths, donated items, assembled baskets, sold
tickets and ran all over town picking up things. We have
been deeply touched by the generosity of so many in the
planning and running of this great event. We have had a
great time!

Meditating on the passion and death of Jesus
can be a great consolation to Our Lord and give
us many graces. There is no better place to
meditate on Him and His sufferings than in His
Real Presence. Come, be with our Redeemer.
Visit Christ in Eucharistic Adoration.

Dear Parishioners,
Welcome to our celebration of Palm Sunday! The first thing we will
do as we gather for prayer is to take up palms and tell the story of
how Jesus once came into the holy city, Jerusalem, riding over a
carpet of branches, cheered by people waving branches.
At all of our liturgies this weekend, we will have the account of
Jesus’ passion. Today marks the beginning of the days we call
Holy Week.
During Holy Week, we will celebrate “Triduum” (which is Latin, for
“three days”). We will be invited to enter into Jesus’ life, death and
resurrection.

Clearly, the very best way to respond to the Passion is to live it
and celebrate it in community. I encourage you to participate—to
plan ahead this coming week so that the whole time from this
Thursday night until the Easter Vigil is free of any social
engagements; free from work, free from entertainment, and free
from meals, except for the simplest nourishment.
These days should be free for prayer, reflection and silence. I hope
everyone feels encouraged to gather together for these greatest
days of celebration.
Here at Holy Infant, on Holy Thursday, at 7:00 p.m., we will gather
in church to celebrate the Mass of the Lord’s Supper—
remembering what the Lord gave to us at his last supper—an
example of service and a meal that would never end. Following
this liturgy, all are invited to join us for our “Seven Churches Tour.”
On Good Friday at 1:00 in the afternoon in church, many of our 8th
grade students will perform the Passion and Teachings of Jesus
Christ. At 3:00 in the afternoon we will gather in church to journey
with Christ through the Stations of the Cross. And at 7:30 in the
evening, we will lift high the cross of Christ and honor it – not as a
sign of defeat, but as our pathway for salvation.
And, finally, on Holy Saturday, at 7:30 in the evening, we will
gather in the darkness of church so that the light of the risen Christ
can penetrate our world and our hearts. On that night, we will go
with all the newly baptized to wash ourselves in the life-giving
waters of our Risen Lord.
I encourage you to mark your calendars now for Holy Week here
at Holy Infant so that you can come and celebrate with us the
holiest week in the life of our Church.
God’s blessings for a prayerful and blessed Holy Week!

Conversion
As we read in the Acts of the Apostles, the Apostle Paul
had a dramatic conversion to Christ. For many of us,
however, conversion is gradual: “Vibrant Christians are
made, not born. They are formed, not produced. Spiritual
formation is a life-long process.” And the conversion of
the world begins with us: The first culture that we need to
transform is not the wider culture, but the culture of our
own heart” (Archbishop Carlson).

Divine Mercy Sunday
April 12, 2015
HOLYINFANTCHURCH
Confession: 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
ExposiƟon of the Blessed Sacrament: 2:15 p.m.
followed by the Rosary Prayer and the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Divine Mercy Chaplet: 3:00 PM followed by the BenedicƟon and the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
The message of Divine Mercy is that God is merciful. He is Love itself poured out for us and He
wants no one to escape his merciful love. The promise of Mercy to Saint Faus na by Jesus grants
complete pardon to souls (plenary indulgence) that will go to Reconcilia on and receive the
Eucharist during Easter. The prayer is among the Catholic Church’s most popular prayers, and is
meant to be said every day at 3:00 p.m. The chaplet uses a five decade rosary and asks for Mercy
with a short prayer in each bead. Please begin the Novena to the Divine Mercy on Good Friday,
April 3, 2015.
A copy of the Divine Mercy Novena is located at the ves bule. For more informa on please call
Teresita La’O at 636-391-1997.

The Importance of Divine Mercy Sunday
Our Lord’s promise to grant complete forgiveness of sins and punishment on the Feast of
Mercy is recorded three mes in the Diary of Blessed Faus na. Jesus tells her…..
I want to grant complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession
and receive the Eucharist on the Feast of Mercy (1109).
Whoever approaches the Fountain of Life on this day will be granted
complete forgiveness of sins and punishment (300).
The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion will obtain complete
forgiveness of sins and punishment (699).
Our Lord is emphasizing, through this promise, the infinite value of Confession and Communion
as miracles of mercy. Think about it. He wants us to realize that, since the Eucharist is His own
Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, it is the Fountain of Life (300).
Why would Our Lord feel the need to emphasize this? Because so many people do not really understand it. They see no need to receive Holy Communion, or they receive it simply out of habit.
How painful it is to Me that souls so seldom unite themselves to Me
in Holy Communion. I wait for souls and they are indifferent toward Me. I want to lavish
My graces on them and they do not want to accept them. They treat me as a
dead object, whereas My Heart is full of love and mercy (1447).
So the Feast of Mercy is both a reminder and a call. It is a reminder that He is truly present and
alive in the Eucharist, filled with love for us and wai ng for us to turn to Him with trust. It is a
clear call for us all to be washed clean in His Love through Confession and Communion. No mater how terrible our sins, God’s mercy is greater than them. God is not promising a single grace,
but unlimited graces.
On that day, the very depths of My tender mercy are open.
I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fountain of My mercy.
On that day, all the Divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened.
We Should observe the Feast of Mercy by:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Celebra ng the Feast on the Sunday a er Easter
Sincerely repent of all our sins
Placing our complete trust in Jesus
Going to Confession, preferably before that Sunday
Receiving Holy Communion on the day of the feast
Venera ng the image of the Divine Mercy
Being merciful to others, through our ac ons, words and prayer on their behalf

Dear Priests, Deacons and Faithful of the Archdiocese of St. Louis,
On Good Friday, April 3, 2015, the annual collection for the Holy Land will be taken up in
parishes throughout the Archdiocese of St. Louis. I am requesting all parishes in the
Archdiocese of St. Louis take up this collect on Good Friday in support of the Holy Land.
The Gospel message of compassion confirms the need for the Good Friday collection in support
of our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land. We must recognize how much the generous
concern of Catholics around the world has already accomplished in this tumultuous area of the
world. Our financial assistance supports the Holy Sites, but also those pastoral, charitable,
educational and social works, which the Church supports in the Holy Land for the welfare of
their Christian brethren and of the local communities.
More specifically, these resources come to the aid of families, often enhancing or saving the
lives of the old, the sick, and the disabled. In addition, aid is provided to the unemployed and to
youth that seek a brighter future.
I want to ask you for your generous support of the collection for the Holy Land on Good Friday,
April 3, 2015.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson
Archbishop of St. Louis

To Holy Infant parishioners who have been attending the
job search ministry meeting on the first Wednesday of
each month at St. Clare of Assisi Parish with Pat Wells,
please know these meetings have been canceled
indefinitely. The last group meeting held at St. Clare was
on Wednesday March 4. There will no longer be monthly
meetings held effective immediately. There will not be a
meeting on this Wednesday, April 1.
Instead, job search assistance will be offered on an
individual basis providing one-on-one job search
mentoring/coaching. If you are in between jobs or looking
for a new opportunity, help is still available.
Holy Infant parishioner Randy Ewers will work in
conjunction with St. Clare of Assisi to offer this
assistance. It will be offered to anyone who has attended
the St. Clare meetings and is familiar with Pat Wells.
Please contact Pat at 314.443.0281; or email
dpwells222@gmail.com or contact Gail Wolff at
314.402.3820 to set up an appointment.
For more information, contact Randy at 636.207.8858 or
raewers@ gmail.com. You can also visit our website at:
www.catholicemploymentnetwork.org. Anyone who has
information about job openings please contact Randy so
that these jobs can be posted in our newsletter. Your
assistance is greatly appreciated.

What is Jonah Prayer Ministry?
It is a ministry of prayer for and with others,
based at the parish level. Praying with
others helps to affirm our faith as a community; it opens
the door for healing through the Holy Spirit and helps us
experience joy through difficulty, perseverance and
gratitude in all circumstances that life brings.
Jonah Prayer ministers are ordinary people who are
approved by the pastor for this ministry. Those who serve
have a calling to pray for others and to use their gifts
given by the Holy Spirit. It is a ministry through which all
can recognize the power of the Holy Spirit working in the
lives of a parish community.
For those interested in joining the Jonah Ministry, there
will be a training session on Saturday, April 18 at the
Rigali Center from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the Ebo Room.
Contact Marty Scrima at (636) 891-9744 to obtain an
application.
The solemnity of today’s readings invites us into silent
contempla on of the mystery of our redemp on. There
are so many levels on which to understand the events of
the Passion. The woman who anoints Jesus acts
prophe cally in a way that the other disciples do not yet
grasp. Anoin ng is for priests, prophets, and kings, and
also for the prepara on of the dead. It is for healing and
for holiness. Her ac on acknowledges the imminent
events of the passion and death of the Lord, and points
toward his resurrec on and triumph over evil and death.
He is priest and vic m, prophet and God, King and Lord.
All these things are acknowledged in her prophe c
anoin ng.
