THE 2026 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE, BEGINS THROUGHOUT OUR DIOCESE. This year’s theme, Sent To Serve, reminds us that, by virtue of our baptism, each of us has been Sent To Serve, entrusted with gifts that are meant to be shared for the good of others. Saint Peter teaches us, “As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Peter 4:10). Our Catholic Ministries Drive supports 9 ministries throughout our Diocese, which all fall into one of three main focuses of evangelization, serving those in need, or formation of our priests and deacons. Please reflect on Bishop Mark’s invitation when it arrives in your mail and prayerfully consider supporting our diocesan ministries. You may return your pledge card and donation through the mail; in the offertory at your parish; or make your donation online. All contributions received beyond the parish goal will be used for your parish. The Target amounts for 2026 are: Resurrection Parish, $27,000.00 and St. Clare of Assisi Parish, $7,600.00.

EARTH DAY - APRIL 22
A Prayer for our Earth
All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists. Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty. Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters, harming no one. O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth,
bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the world and not prey on it, that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction. Touch the hearts of those who look only for gain
at the expense of the poor earth. Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,
to be filled with awe and contemplation, to recognize that we are profoundly united
with every creature as we journey towards your infinite light.
We thank you for being with us each day.
Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle for justice, love, and peace. Amen.

Sunday’s readings focus on a theme of ‘sojourning.’ As Christian stewards, we know that our lives are a sojourn toward the ultimate destination of heaven.
Our second reading instructs us to “conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning, realizing that you were ransomed… with the precious blood of Christ.” What a powerful reminder during the Easter season of our ‘why’ for embracing the stewardship way of life – we have been ransomed by our Lord’s saving death and resurrection. Our lives are a gift from Him – as we sojourn through life, we are to make our lives a gift to Him in return.
So, what can we do when we become discouraged - when we need our hearts set on fire once again? We can go to the same sources as the two disciples from our Gospel today on the road to Emmaus – the Scriptures (the living Word of God) and the Eucharist (the very source and summit of our faith). Frequent recourse to these two gifts from our Lord is essential to sustain us in the stewardship way of life.
