May
the Solemnity of Easter and the Easter season be for you and your loved ones a
source of every hope and consolation. The power of sin and death cannot prevail.
The resurrection of the Lord remains the cause of our joy and peace.
Wishing you a blessed and holy Easter.
OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY
is extended to the family and friends of Pat Frost, who was buried
from our parish last week. Please
keep Pat and her family in your prayers.
DIVINE MERCY
The Divine Mercy Chaplets and Novena are the devotional fruits born
out of the Divine Mercy revelations given to St. Faustina from our Lord. We are
inviting you to join in the Divine Mercy Novena starting on Good Friday and
continuing every day following daily mass until Divine Mercy Sunday on May 1st
(except for Easter Sunday
and Monday which will be said independently). This is a very short devotional
(5-8 minutes), pamphlets will be available.
PTO Annual Flower Sale
The Annual
Flower Sale is coming up quickly! Are
you ready for the April showers to pass and move on to the May flowers? Do you
still need to prepare your yard for a First
Communion Party? It is a perfect
time to visit The Fort Thomas Florist and help support the St. Catherine PTO
Flower Sale! The sale will be held
next Wednesday, April 27th from 1:30PM - 6PM and Friday, April 29th from 9AM-
1:30PM. Parish volunteers will be available to help you with the selection and
assist you in your purchase. Payments
can be made by cash, check, charge, or House account at the time of purchase.
The flowering basket sale will follow on Mother’s Day weekend after all three
masses. Volunteers are still needed for both sales. Please
contact Kelly Frost to volunteer or with inquiries at 859-835-4396 or kfrostky@fuse.net.
FIRST COMMUNION
The 2nd
grade students of our parish will be receiving their First Communion next Sunday,
May 1st at 2:00 p.m. Please
keep them in your prayers as they take this very important step in their faith
journey.
MAY CROWNING
This
year’s May Crowning will take place during the 6:30 p.m. mass on Wednesday, May 4th. Our
second grade children are asked to dress in their First Communion dresses/suits
for this occasion. If you wish to do
so, please bring a small potted flower for the procession that will later be
planted on the grounds. Following
the mass, there will be an ice cream social in McCrystal Hall sponsored by the
Foresters.
THE STORY OF ST. CATHERINE OF
SIENA Sr.
Nancy Murray, OP, is coming to our parish to bring to life our patron saint,
Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church, on Friday,
May 6th at 7:00 p.m. With simple props and a fertile imagination,
Sister Nancy portrays Catherine as the colorful, strong, passionate and
enthusiastic personality that she was. Thanks to Sister Nancy's gift of
transforming herself into this 14th century saint and patroness of the Dominican
Order, Catherine's fierce devotion to and love for God is brought to life.
Sr. Nancy Murray is actor Bill Murray’s sister. Clearly acting talent
runs in the family. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about our
incredible patroness in this entertaining way. The event is free and open
to the public. No reservations will be taken and a free-will offering will
be taken up.
DISCERNMENT
for members of the
Parish Pastoral Council and the Board of Catholic Education begins this weekend.
As representative of the entire parish population, the Pastoral Council (PPC)
acts as a consultative and advisory body to the pastor in making decisions for
the benefit of the parish community. The Board of Catholic Education (BOCE)
assists the pastor in promoting spiritual formation and Catholic education
programs for all age groups. Members of each board are discerned through prayer
and sacrifice and serve for a three year term. Please read the parish
guidebook and directory for more details. At this time we are asking
parishioners to prayerfully consider their own response to serve one of these
committees. Boxes with paper are at the side entrances to the church.
Please volunteer yourself or suggest another parishioner who would be
representative of our parish community. Most importantly, pray for
guidance from the Holy Spirit in our discernment process.
PICTORIAL DIRECTORY
We have contracted with
Olan Mills to create a parish pictorial directory.
They will be here photographing families May 11th – 14th,
18th – 21st, 27th and June 1st –
4th. If you are unable to
get on the stage, please schedule your appointment for May 27th or
June 1st – 4th. You can schedule your photography
session by going to https://signup.olanmills.com/familyinfo.aspx?chcontract=60596.
If you do not have internet access, please call the parish office and we
will help you schedule your appointment.
Father Stef asks that all families please be photographed, as a
pictorial directory is a great way for all parishioners to get to know each
other.
St.
Catherine’s Men’s Golf League
Come Join. Since 1968, your parish has provided an opportunity
to play golf with fellow parishioners and friends. The league
plays 9 holes at AJ Jolly every 2nd and 4th Tuesday
of the month teeing off between 4 - 6 PM, starting April 26th through August. An annual end
of the year outing on September 15th – 18th at Perry Park Ky
is also available. The league is handicapped so everyone can participate on
a level playing basis, regardless of ability. We also have a
sub list for those who may not be able to play every
Tuesday, but may want to join in. Contact Kevin Johnson @ 441-8331 or email

PRO LIFE FACT
Recent studies confirmed that that Planned Parenthood is increasingly
shifting away from performing surgical abortions and instead using the dangerous
RU486 abortion drug. As of FDA
figures from 2006, this drug has been responsible for killing at least 13 women
worldwide and injuring 1,100 in the U.S. alone.

department during the summer. The

IMPLEMENTATION
The
Breaking of the Bread
“Because
there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of
the
one bread” (1 Corinthians 10:17). There was something unforgettable in the way
Jesus
broke the bread at the Last Supper and again for the disciples encountered on
the
road
to Emmaus. “He was known to them in the breaking of the bread” (Luke 14:35).
The
Bread of Life is broken to be given to the many, bringing into the unity of a
single
body
all who receive it.
The
priest breaks a piece from the host and puts it into the chalice to signify that
in
Holy Communion we receive Christ’s living and glorious Body. He begins the
breaking
of the Bread after the sign of peace and carries it out with reverence. “This
rite
is
reserved to the priest and the deacon” (GIRM, art. 83). Even after the
breaking, each
fragment
of the Eucharistic Bread is the whole Christ.
During
the breaking of the Bread, the choir or cantor sing the supplication to the
Lamb
of God, the Agnus Dei, to which the people respond. The invocation may be
repeated
until the rite is completed. At the last repetition the people respond, “grant
us
peace.”
