      If you need something added to the Bulletin for Sunday, May 27th and
      June 3rd, please have it in the office no later than noon on Tuesday, May 15th with the week you would like to have it added in the bulletin.


      SUNDAY, MAY 13
      SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
      JOHN 15:9-17       (Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48; Psalm 98; 1 John 4:7-10)
      KEY VERSE: "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you" (v 12). READING: Jesus taught his disciples about the intimate unity that existed between he and his Father. Everything that Jesus said and did was in obedience to his Father's word. The Father's love so filled Jesus that it overflowed to his followers. They would remain in Jesus' love if they were obedient to his "new" command: to love one another as he loved them. Jesus' commandment to love God and to love one's neighbor as oneself fulfilled and summed up all the other commandments. There was no other commandment greater than these (Mk 12:31b). Jesus' disciples were loyal to the mission that he entrusted to them when they revealed his love to the world. They were his "friends" (Jn 15:14) if they demonstrated that love by their readiness to lay down their lives for the sake of love as he did. Jesus did not ask his followers to do anything that he himself was unwilling to do. He would prove his love on Calvary by offering his life for the sake of his friends (v 13).
      REFLECTING: Have I shown sacrificial love to my friends? PRAYING: Risen Lord, help me to love others as you do.

This Collection communicates the Good News through Catholic social media activities and enriches our faith through podcasts, television, radio, and print media.

    • The Focolare Movement/I Movimento de los Focolares
      MAY 19th
       
      The Focolare Movement is a vast ecclesial movement in the Catholic Church whose spirituality of unity is based on Jesus’ priestly prayer, “May they all be one” (Jn 17:21). Members of the Focolare Movement will be at our parish at all masses on the weekend of May 19 – 20,2012 to introduce you to the Movement which tries to live the gospel from the point of unity in the family and in society, and to offer copies of their magazine, Living City,  for a donation of $3.00 .
       
       I Movimento •de los Focolares es un movimiento eclesial dentro de la Iglesia Catolica, cuya espiritualidad de unidad esta  basada en la ultima oraci?n de Jesùs, Que todos sean (in 17:21). Miembros del Movimiento de los Focolares estaran en nuestra parroquia en todas las misas del fin de semana del Marzo 10-11,  para presentamos el movimiento que trata de vivir el Evangelio desde el punto de vista de la unidad en la familia y en la sociedad, y también para ofrecernos copias de su revista, Living City, por una donati?n de $3.00 o la suscripci?n por $30.00 por un año (11 copias). Yours in Christ,

    • VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
      Saint Anthony Vacation Bible School "A Wilderness Adventure Through the Sacraments" will be held June 18-22 from 9am-12pm each day.  We are currently in need of youth and adult volunteers.  If you are interested please contact Monica Martinez at 469-235-8576 or by email at monicamartineztx@gmail.com.  Also, please consider donating items for VBS at the giving tree.

    • INTENTIONS
      A change in the Intention Prayer for the sick
       
      Because of the growing size of our community, now over 2,000 plus attendees, and with having so many loved ones that are in need of our thoughts and prayers who are ill, it has been recommended by the Pastoral Council, that we include a book of intentions for the sick by the statue of Mary.  This will take the place of saying the names of the sick listed on the prayers of the faithful during Mass.  At the same time, as long as space is available, we will also include the loved ones whose names are called into the office in our Sunday bulletin.  This will take effective May 6th; the names will remain in the bulletin for three weeks.
      Debido al tamaño creciente de nuestra comunidad, ahora 2,000 además de los asistentes y con tantos seres queridos que están enfermos, y que  ayee necesidad tenerlos en  nuestras oraciones y pensamientos se ha recomendado por el Consejo Pastoral, que incluimos un libro de intenciones para los enfermos por la estatua de María.  Esto tomará el lugar de decir los nombres de los enfermos que aparecen en las oraciones de los fieles durante la misa. Al mismo tiempo, siempre que sea posible, y el espacio está disponible, nosotros también incluiremos los nombres que son llamados a la oficina en nuestro boletín del Domingo.  Esto tomará efectivo mayo 6; los nombres permanecerán durante tres semanas.

       
    • Approved Religious Education Program
      Please be advised that the only approved religious education program available for our children is that which we provide at our parish. Our catechists are commissioned to teach on behalf of Bishop Farrell and the pastor. If you have your children enrolled in any other home catechesis not connected to this parish, please contact our parish to see if it is an approved diocesan program. We have been advised by the Department of Catechetical Services that there is a catechist who provides not only catechesis for sacrament preparation in her home, but also recruits priests from Mexico to celebrate the sacraments in undisclosed locations without authorization to do so by the Diocese of Dallas. All visiting priests must receive permission to function in the diocese and Mass must be celebrated in a Roman Catholic Church unless otherwise approved by the Bishop.
       
       Se le recuerda que el único programa de educación religiosa disponible para nuestros niños es el que proporcionamos en nuestra parroquia. Nuestros catequistas son comisionados para enseñar a nombre del Obispo Farrell y el párroco. Si usted tiene a sus hijos registrados en cualquier otro programa de catequesis no asociado a esta parroquia, por favor comuníquese con nuestra parroquia para verificar si se trata de un programa diocesano aprobado. El departamento de Servicios Catequéticos ha sido notificado de una catequista que no solo imparte catequesis para preparación sacramental en su hogar, sino que además contrata sacerdotes de México para celebrar los sacramentos en localidades no reveladas sin la autorización de la Diócesis de Dallas. Todos los sacerdotes visitantes deben recibir permiso para ejercer su ministerio en la diócesis y la Misa se debe celebrar en una Iglesia Católica Romana a menos que el Obispo apruebe lo contrario.

    • St. Elizabeth Ann Seton - New Grief Support
      Will begin on July 11th through August 29th from 10:00-11:30a.m. in room 108. NEW DAY is a grief support process in which you can begin to deal with the death of a loved one in an atmosphere of care and understanding.  The sessions contain prayer, reading reflection, sharing & journaling.  NEW DAY is based on the premise that sharing one’s thoughts, feelings and experiences with others in similar situations is one of the most helpful ways to move beyond that pain that is caused by a loved one’s death.  NEW DAY is not a therapy session; it is an opportunity to move with others, who have experienced the same kind of loss, on the journey from grief to healing. To register for the series please contact Cecilia Jones in the parish office at 972-596-5505 ext. 4222 or cjones@eseton.org.
