This Week in the Mass
Sunday,April12th,2020
FirstReading:Acts 10:34a, 37-43 SecondReading:Colossians 3:1-4 or
1 Corinthians 5:6b-8 Gospel:John 20:1-9
Readings
The prayers of the Mass are inspired by the Holy Spirit. The opening prayer for Easter says, “grant, we
pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord’s Resurrection may, through the renewal brought by
your Spirit, rise up in the light of life.” Jesus Christ is the light of the world. We should use this Easter season
to seek His light. ~~~~~
Las oraciones de la misa están inspiradas por el Espíritu Santo. La oración de apertura para la Pascua
dice: "concédenos, rogamos, que quienes guardemos la solemnidad de la Resurrección del Señor, a través de la renovación traída por tu Espíritu, nos levantemos a la
luz de la vida". Jesucristo es la luz del mundo. Deberíamos usar esta temporada de Pascua para buscar
Su luz.

For the Afflicted in Time of Pandemic
Let us pray also for all those who suffer the consequences of
the current pandemic, that God the Father may grant health
to the sick, strength to those who care for them, comfort to
families and salvation to all the victims who have died.
Almighty ever‐living God,
only support of our human weakness,
look with compassion upon the sorrowful condition of
your children who suffer because of this pandemic;
relieve the pain of the sick,
give strength to those who care for them,
welcome into your peace those who have died
and, throughout this time of tribulation,
grant that we may all find comfort in your merciful love.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen

Electronic Giving at St. Damien Parish
Electronic Giving offers parishioners a unique opportunity to support St. Damien Parish and simplify the giving process. Envelopes have long been the preferred method for regular giving, but this approach has always required parishioners to remember to write the check, and bring the envelope to church. And worse, remembering to do the math to catch up if we are away for a few weeks or are sick and miss mass here at St. Damien’s.
St. Damien Parish has partnered with our financial institution OceanFirst Bank to offer Electronic Giving. You can sign up to have a specific amount automatically debited from a checking or savings account that you designate. Just fill out the form and attach a cancelled check, if you are using a checking account, and then drop the form off or mail it to the Parish Office. It takes about 2 weeks to setup and the rest is automatic.
Electronic Giving is here! A new way to give, and a great way to support your Parish.
