Easter Egg Hunt 2016
Children and families are invited to an Easter egg
hunt immediately following the 11:00am Easter Mass

provided ... and LOTS of Easter eggs!
.
500 CLUB
As you know, we have stopped hosting bingo at the
parish center and are in need of a way to make up for
this lost income. Our Parish is very excited to an-
nounce the 500 Club! Hopefully you have been
hearing the buzz at Mass and wondering how to get
involved. Here's how the 500 Club works:
Only 500 tickets will be sold at $50 each.
Each ticket contains two numbers. (from 000 to 999)
Each week on Saturday, for 51 weeks, there will be
two winning numbers equal to the Pa state lottery,
afternoon and evening numbers. The afternoon win-
ner will receive $50 and the evening winner receives
$100.
On the 51st week, the afternoon winner receives
$1,000 and the evening winner $1,500.
The club will begin once all tickets are sold, so
please buy yours ASAP! Nearly 80% of the tickets
have already been sold.
The winner will be promptly notified (by the ticket
seller) and announced on olcchurch.org.
How can you help?
Our parish is looking for 50 volunteers to each sell
10 tickets. (tickets cost $50 each)
Don't think you can sell 10 tickets? Consider buying
a ticket for yourself! Just contact one of the parish-
ioners listed below.
Once all 500 tickets are sold, our church will have
made a $15,000 profit in just a matter of weeks!!
To sign up to be a seller or purchase tickets, please
contact John Przychodzien 717-715-6511, Darren
Hodorovich 484-350-8398, Jen Kerstetter 610-291-
8273, or the rectory 610-857-3510.

KNIGHT AT THE RACES
Join us next Saturday, April 2, for our annual Knight
at the Races at the SPC. Name your horse now-only
$10, and you don't have to be present to win. Forms
are available at each worship site, but please come to
enjoy the great food and beverages (served from
6:00pm), exciting races, and a chance to show off
your trivial knowledge for great prizes.
All this for only a $5 admission at the door. This
year's profits, at the request of our ELC, will go to
benefit our Life Teen mission trip this summer.
Many thanks to all who support our efforts to assist
veterans at the Coatesville VA Hospital.
Currently, in addition to items requested previously,
we need candy bars, body wash and T-shirts (L and
XL) for presentation at a veterans luncheon on May
11.
Please place donations in the red containers at each
worship site.
David's Drive 831 is a non-profit 501 (c-3) public
charity committed to improving the quality of life for
hospitalized and homeless veterans and people in
need in the community.
David's Drive 831 (DD831) was created in memory
of David Turner Jr. who died suddenly at the age of
20 of a suspected heart arrhythmia.
David had worked at the Coatesville VA Medical
Center and had a tremendous respect for the veterans
he served; many were homeless, in early recovery,
and came to the hospital without essentials.
David had a vision to provide these veterans with the
items they need.
Each year David’s Drive takes 50 Veterans Bowling
to Castle Bowling in Downingtown. Sometimes this
is the only time the Veterans get out of the Medical
Center. They go bowling, enjoy some delicious
pizza and other Bowling Alley food, and have a fun
day out. But we need your help!!
Could you please consider sponsoring a Veteran??
Cost is $25/Veteran to send them that day.
We would like to cover all 50 of the Veterans, so we
really need your help!!
If you are able to Sponsor a Veteran, please fill out a
form, located in the back of the church and return it
to Janice Dagney by the next PREP/LTJV/One8 or
ELC day that you are able.

REST IN PEACE
Please pray for the souls of Isabel Morlando and
Tillie Manley. Pray for all the souls of the
deceased. May they rest in peace in the kingdom
of God. FIRE VICTIMS
The recent Parkesburg fire left families homeless
and with great personal loss. Our parish is
accepting donations, which will be administered
through the Parkesburg Churches Community Out-
reach program.
If you would like to contribute, please send your
earmarked (fire victims) donation to the rectory or
place in the offertory basket.

March 27, 2016-Easter Sunday Reflection by Rev. Leonard N. Peterson
One of the great derivatives of this “Day of Days” is its endorsement of hope. So much struggle stalks our
lives that hope loses out to its opposite for many people. Often enough our call to seek “what is above” is
abandoned. At the worst, we cry out “Where is God?” in any serious intrusion on our plans.
The rush of changes in technology doesn’t help.
A respected spiritual writer offers this analysis: “All the givens have changed and all the rules with
them. Built-in obsolescence is the new given. Things are made to be discarded or upgraded or re-
placed. Everything in life is simply another step, not the final step, in the process of becoming something
else. Life itself has become a series of life-changing interruptions we are meant to expect and to broach with
very little help.”
I resonate with that observation. I feel the pressure in small matters, like updating my smart phone, all the
way to important items like reminding Catholics about the Church’s definition of marriage when the world all
around us challenges it. Add to these things the whole problem of the “throwaway culture,” as Pope Francis
describes it.
So we need Easter. We need to remember how Christ’s death and resurrection sheds light on our skewed cul-
tural outlook and shows it for what it is. Nothing but darkness in disguise.
The empty tomb is more than the triumph of Jesus, although it is certainly that. It is also, for believers, the
source of a joy that ameliorates sadness, and offers the message of life after this one. It is the certainty of ob-
jective truth towering over fashionable half-truths and outright lies. The Risen One knew the future as well as
the present when He once said of Himself “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.”
Perceptive people know that maintaining this Easter faith today is almost as difficult as it was for the
Church’s early martyrs, albeit in a different way, as a type of “dry martyrdom.” Even this is changing
however, as we note the Christian victims of ISIS and its brutality.
A saintly John Paul II, who emerged from Nazi persecution and Communist intimidation, called out in his in-
augural homily “Be not afraid!” Those are the same words that the Christmas angels told the shepherds on
the hillside. They are the same words Gabriel said to Mary when He announced her coming pregnancy. To-
day we have the same words implied in the question the “two men in dazzling garments” asked: “Why seek
the living among the dead?” Why indeed?
Standing in spirit before the empty tomb this Easter Day 2016, somewhere between anxiety and hope, we
have to recall our cry of conviction, now centuries old but ever new: “Alleluia! He has risen! Alleluia!”
First Reading: Acts 10:34 a, 37-43
Peter’s sermon is at the heart of the early Church’s apostolic preaching. It includes the promise of universal
forgiveness of sins available through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Second Reading: Colossians 3:1-4
All the promises made about the Messiah have been fulfilled in Jesus. Yet there remains the need for believ-
ers to live in a way that has them thinking “of what is above” rather than earthly matters only.
Gospel: John 20:1-9
Mary Magdalen’s steadfast loyalty on Good Friday is rewarded by her being chosen as the first to discover the
empty tomb. She becomes an “apostle to the Apostles” with the Easter message.
