Our Condolences...
Please pray for the repose of the soul of parishioner Sandra Poglitsh, wife of Rudy Poglitsh. Visitation begins at 10a on Friday, April 21, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11a. An obituary is unavailable at this time.
Eternal rest grant unto Sandra, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Easter is Almost Here!
Fragrance Prayer
- St. John Henry Newman
Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance wherever I am.
Fill my heart with your Spirit and your life.
Penetrate my being and take such hold of me that my life becomes a radiation of your own life.
Give your light through me and remain in me in such a way that every soul I come in contact with can feel your presence in me.
May people not see me, but see you in me.
Remain in me, so that I shine with your light, and may others be illuminated by my light.
All light will come from you, Oh Jesus. Not even the smallest ray of light will be mine. You will illuminate others through me.
Place on my lips your greatest praise, illuminating others around me.
May I preach you with actions more than with words, with the example of my actions, with the visible light of the love that comes from you to my heart.
Amen.
Acts of the Apostles Bible Study
Join us for an original six-week study of the Acts of the Apostles. We will journey with the early disciples as they continued the work of Jesus and learn how to follow in their footsteps by being the Church today.
This is a six-week study on the Acts of the Apostles. We will meet in the St. Robert Room. Please bring a bible and notebook.

March SAL Spotlight
Do you know we have a Polish & Shine Ministry? Individual parishioners (and sometimes a few family members) take a little time out of their week to keep our church looking spiffy. Providing there's no conflict with any liturgical event, volunteers show up according to their own schedules.
If you're interested in helping out in this way, please reach out to Tara Sheringer:
tsheringer@zionsvillecatholic.com or 317-873-2885 x502.
