SECOND COLLECTION
EASTER SUNDAY - MARCH 27!
POPE’S MARCH INTENTIONS
Universal: Families in Difficulty
That families in need may receive the
necessary support and that children may
grow up in healthy and peaceful environments.
Evangelization: Persecuted Christians
That those Christians who, on account of their faith,
are discriminated against or are being persecuted,
may remain strong and faithful to the Gospel, thanks
to the incessant prayer of the Church
CHILDREN’S FAITH FORMATION (CFF)
There will be no CFF or Youth Group this coming
week on Wednesday, March 23, 2016. It is Holy
Week. Classes will resume on Wednesday, March
30, 2016.
LIVE SAIONS OF THE CROSS
This Sunday evening at 6 PM, the Youth Group will
perform “The Way of the Cross” in the sanctuary.
Please join us for this beautiful devotion and begin
Holy Week meditating on the events of our Lord’s
last day on Earth.
GOOD FRIDAY’S
BILINGUAL STATIONS OF THE CROSS
It is our tradition to have a bilingual Stations of the
Cross service at 3 PM on Good Friday. We are
looking for volunteers who would like to read the
meditations for each station. If interested, please
write your name and phone number in the list that
can be found on the semi-round table in the
Gathering Area. For questions, contact Raymond
Isaac at 423-467-3330. Please join us to pray and
meditate about Jesus’ last events of His earthly life.
CHURCH NURSERY SEEKING HELP
Currently, St. Mary’s Church is looking for a person
to work part-time in the Church Nursery from 9:30
AM to 1:30 PM every Sunday. Inquire at the church
office 423-282-6367.
The Financial Report for 12/13 March will be
published in our 26-27 March bulletin.
El Informe Financiero de 12/13 de marzo se
publicará en el boletín de 26-27 de marzo .
Please be generous in your support of the Diocese of Knoxville
Seminarian Education as they endeavor through the grace of God
to become our future priests! Though we are one of the smallest
dioceses in the United States, we are blessed with a rich harvest of vocations
to the priesthood. Currently, we have 9 men enrolled in seminary studies
with the hope of another 5 beginning studies this Fall for a total of 14
seminarians. But with this wonderful blessing, comes a financial challenge.
The cost of educating just one seminarian is approximately $45,000-a
financial diocese commitment of $630,000 this coming academic year! But
your investment in the future of the priesthood is one that will help
guarantee the growth of the Catholic faith in East Tennessee. When giving
a donation, please use your envelope for “Seminarian Education” and
also make any checks to “Seminarian Education”. You can now also use
the “Online Giving” option! CORRECTION FROM LAST WEEK’S
BULLETIN: During Mass, there will be a second collection basket that
will go around for these donations.
DESPERATELY SEEKING HELPERS!
We need front office volunteers with a flexible
schedule! Any time you can give would be greatly
appreciated. If interested, please call the church office at
423-282-6367. We need help washing and ironing purificators and
corporals once a month. We also need volunteers to help us do several
chores in the sanctuary area on a weekly basis, such as straightening books
in the pews, replace votive candles, change Holy Water, clean brass items,
etc. This helps keep our church clean and organized for Sunday Masses as
well as for our pilgrim visitors during this Year of Mercy.
JUBILEE OF DIVINE MERCY, APRIL 1-2
We want invite you to attend a Jubilee of Divine Mercy here at St. Mary’s
Church!. This pilgrimage during the Easter Season on Divine Mercy
Weekend is designed to bring Catholic Christians closer to Christ in heart,
mind and soul. It is our parish desire that entire families and all generations
come together and learn about Christ's love for us. Renowned speaker,
Jesse Romero, from On Fire Evangelization Ministries, will present this
parish mission. This event coincides with the monthly jubilee Pope Francis
suggested churches around the world observe on April 1-3. Since St.
Mary’s is one of the designated parishes in the Diocese of Knoxville with a
Holy Door of Mercy, visitors could benefit twice by attending the mission
and fulfilling the requirements for a Jubilee pilgrimage. There will be talks
in both English and Spanish. The conference is open to everyone, youth and
adults, and the cost is a suggested donation of $10 per person. Baby-sitting
will be offered for children 5 and under. The speaker will also have items
for sale, such as books, CDs, etc. during the conference. Lunch will be a
potluck meal at the end of the Saturday morning session. Please call the
church office at 423-282-6367 to register. TICKET SALES: Tickets will
be on sale after all masses and at the church office.
ST. MARY’S SCHOOL BRICK SALES
19/20 MARCH
After all Masses, you are invited to purchase an
engraved 4” x 8” brick to honor and remember a
loved one, child/grandchild, gratitude to staff,
display a family name. This is a fundraiser to help beautify the courtyard
area near the front entrance. All donations greatly appreciated!

SUPPORT HOLY LAND ON GOOD FRIDAY
On Good Friday (March 25th), Pope Francis has asked our
parish to support Christians in the Holy Land. Through these
givings, we support Catholics around the world to stand in
solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land.
When you make a contribution, Y-O-U become
an instrument of peace in a troubled land. In
these challenging times in the Middle East,
your support means that their churches can
conduct parish ministry, Catholic education,
feed the hungry, build housing for Christians,
maintain shrines and operate refugee centers. The political,
religious and military challenges they face are more complex
than ever! The wars, unrest and instability have been
especially hard on Christians. When making a donation,
please use your envelope marked for “Holy Land” and also
make any checks to “Holy Land”. You can now also use the
“Online Giving” option! During Mass, remember to simply
drop your donations in the basket that goes around ONLY
once for this collection!

individual and families in developing countries as well as in
their own communities Please remember to bring your rice
bowl donation on Holy Thursday, March 24.

sacramental marriage. It is designed to give couples the
opportunity to talk privately, honestly and intensively about their
prospective lives together—their strengths and weaknesses,
desires, ambitions, goals, their attitudes about money, sex,
children, family, their role in the church and society—in a guided
format. Cost of the weekend is $239 per couple, which includes a
certificate good for a $60 discount on the couple’s marriage
license in Tennessee. For more information, please call Tom and
Maggie Slankas at [email protected] or 865-483-7896.

VÍA CRUCIS BILINGÜE, VIERNES SANTO
Como es tradición en nuestra parroquia, tendremos un servicio
bilingüe del Vía Crucis a las 3 PM el Viernes Santo. Estamos
buscando voluntarios que quieran leer las meditaciones para
cada estación. Si estás interesado, por favor escribe tu nombre
y número de teléfono en la lista que se encuentra en la mesa
semicircular en el Área de Convivencia. Si tienes alguna
pregunta, ponte en contacto con Raymond Isaac al 423-4673330. Por favor, únete a nosotros para orar y meditar sobre los
últimos acontecimientos de la vida terrenal de Jesús.
DESPENSA DE ALIMENTOS SAN VICENTE DE PAÚL
Gracias por su generoso apoyo a la despensa de alimentos el año
pasado. La necesidad más urgente que tenemos es 1 libra de
frijoles secoas y lata de ravioli. Después de las fiestas navideñas la
despensa está baja en los siguientes artículos: pasta, bolsas de
arroz (1 lb.), harina de trigo, mezcla para muffins, harina de
maíz, cereales, galletas dulces, galletas saladas, macarrones
con queso, frijoles secos, leche en polvo, maíz, judías verdes,
carnes enlatadas, atún, gelatina, gelatina sin azúcar, jalea, jalea
sin azúcar, papel higiénico, detergente para platos, pañales
tamaño 5.
APOYA LA EDUCACIÓN DE SEMINARISTAS
Por favor, se generoso apoyando al fondo para la Educación de
Seminaristas de la Diócesis de Knoxville, mientras estos se esfuerzan,
por la gracia de Dios, para convertirse en nuestros futuros sacerdotes.
Aunque somos una de las diócesis más pequeñas en los Estados
Unidos, hemos sido bendecidos con una rica cosecha de vocaciones al
sacerdocio. En la actualidad, contamos con 9 hombres estudiando para
ser sacerdotes con la esperanza de que otros 5 ingresen al seminario el
próximo otoño, para un total de 14 seminaristas. Pero con esta
maravillosa bendición, viene un desafío financiero. El costo de educar
a un sólo seminarista es de aproximadamente $45,000, por lo que la
diócesis tendrá compromiso financiero de $630,000 el próximo año
académico. Sin embargo, su inversión en el futuro del sacerdocio es
una que ayudará a garantizar el crecimiento de la fe católica en el este
de Tennessee. Al dar una donación, por favor utilice su sobre de las
ofrendas marcado para “Educación de Seminaristas” o puede hacer un
cheque marcado para “Educación Seminarista.” Ahora también podrá
usar la opción de "“Donaciones en línea.” CORRECCIÓN: Una
segunda canasta será pasado para esta colección especial.
El Reto de la Despensa de Alimentos para este mes es que cada
familia traiga a la despensa: 1 libra de frijoles secoas y lata de
ravioli.
Si conoce a alguien que puede estar en necesidad de alimentos o
financiera, por favor llame al 423-434-0836 y deje un mensaje.
SE NECESITAN VOLUNTARIOS
Se necesitan voluntarios para lavar y planchar los purificadores y
corporales una vez al mes. También necesitamos voluntarios para ayudar
a hacer varias tareas en el santuario semanalmente, como enderezar los
libros en las bancas, reemplazar las velitas votivas, cambiar el agua
bendita, limpiar artículos de metal, etc. Esto nos ayudará a mantener
limpia y organizada nuestra iglesia para las misas dominicales, así como
para nuestros visitantes peregrinos en este Año de la Misericordia.
También necesitamos voluntarios que nos puedan
ayudar con diferentes tareas en la oficina pero
necesitan ser bilingues. Si está interesado, por favor
llame a la oficina de la iglesia al 423-282-6367 y
notifique su disponibilidad.
APOYA A LA TIERRA SANTA EL VIERNES SANTO
El Viernes Santo, el Papa Francisco ha pedido que apoyemos a los
cristianos en Tierra Santa. A través de esta donación, apoyamos a los
católicos de todo el mundo y estamos en solidaridad con la Iglesia en
Tierra Santa. Cuando haces una contribución, te conviertes en un
instrumento de paz para un lugar con problemas. En estos tiempos
difíciles en el Medio Oriente, tu apoyo significa que estas iglesias
podrán llevar a cabo el ministerio parroquial y la educación católica,
alimentar a los hambrientos, construir viviendas para los cristianos,
mantener santuarios y operar los centros de refugiados. Los desafíos
políticos, religiosos y militares que se enfrentan son más complejos
que nunca. Las guerras, disturbios y la inestabilidad han sido
especialmente duro para los cristianos. Al hacer una donación, por
favor usa el sobre marcado para T
" ierra Santa"o haz un cheque
marcado para la "
Tierra Santa"
. Ahora también puedes usar la
opción "
Donación en línea"
. Durante la misa, recuerda poner tus
donaciones en la canasta de las ofrendas.
QUINCEAÑERAS
Si esta planificando celebrar un quinceañero en nuestra iglesia,
favor de llamar a Guadalupe Tapia, 423-943-8908 para apartar la
fecha y comenzar la preparación. La joven tambien debe asistir
al Grupo de Jóvenes por lo menos un año antes de solicitar esta
celebración.

Year of Mercy / Año de La Misericordia
Two resources explaining the Church’s teaching on fasting
and abstinence during Lent to help us “turn away from
harmful pleasures” so that “our Lenten fast may be pleasing to
[the Lord] and be for us a healing remedy.”
RECORDATORIOS DE REGLAS PARA LA CUARESMA
El Viernes Santo es un día obligatororio de ayuno y abstinencia universal. El
ayuno es obligatorio para personas entre los 18 y 60 años de edad. Ayunar
significa hacer solo una comida completa en ese día. También pueden hacerce
dos comidas más pequeñas, pero no iguales a una comida completa. La
abstinencia (de carne) es obligatoria para todos los mayores de 14 años de edad
(c. 1252). Cualquier persona para quien el ayuno o la abstinencia pueda
resultar en un riesgo para su salud está excusado de ambos.
LENTEN REGULATIONS REMINDERS
Good Friday is an obligatory day of universal fast and abstinence.
Fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year until the
beginning of their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal.
Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence
(from meat) is obligatory for all who have completed their 14th year of
age (c. 1252). As always, anyone for whom fasting or abstinence would
pose a health risk is excused.
Siempre tenemos necesidad de contemplar el misterio de la
Misericordia. Es fuente de alegría, de serenidad y de paz. Es
condición para nuestra salvación. Misericordia: es la palabra
que revela el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad. Misericordia:
es el acto último y supremo con el cual Dios viene a nuestro
encuentro. Misericordia: es la ley fundamental que habita en
el corazón de cada persona cuando mira con ojos sinceros al
hermano que encuentra en el camino de la vida. Misericordia:
es la vía que une Dios y el hombre, porque abre el corazón a la
esperanza de ser amados para siempre no obstante el límite de
nuestro pecado. Misericordiae Vultus 2
We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of
Mercy. It is a wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace.
Our salvation depends on it. Mercy: the word reveals
the very mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Mercy: the
ultimate and supreme act by which God comes to meet
us. Mercy: the fundamental law that dwells in the
heart of every person who looks sincerely into the eyes
of his brothers and sisters on the path of life. Mercy:
the bridge that connects God and man, opening our
hearts to the hope of being loved forever despite our
sinfulness. Misericordiae Vultus 2
DESAFÍO PARA EL MES DE MARZO:
MARCH CHALLENGE:
ADMONISH THE SINNER
CORREGIR AL QUE SE EQUIVOCA
Theme for this Sunday: Love and Betrayal
Tema por este Domingo: Amor y Traición
El Señor se volvió y miró a Pedro. Entonces Pedro recordó la palabra
del Señor, de cómo le había dicho: “Antes que el gallo cante hoy, Me
negarás tres veces.” (Lucas 22:61)
“The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the
word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the cock crows
today, you will deny Me three times.” (Luke 22:61)
Adult: When have you felt that you betrayed the confidence of
another, as Peter did when he denied Jesus? How do you forgive
yourself?
Adulto: ¿Cuándo has sentido que traicionaste la confianza de otra
persona, como lo hizo Pedro cuando negó a Jesús? ¿Cómo te perdonas
a ti mismo?
Youth: What does it feel like to have betrayed the confidence of
another or to have been betrayed by another? How would you forgive
that person?
Joven: ¿Qué sientes al haber traicionado la confianza de otra persona,
o haber sido traicionado por otro? ¿Cómo perdonas a esa persona?
