Our Lady of Lourdes - St Adalbert Parish Good News APRIL 2018 www.ollomaha.com [email protected]Did you know that Easter is not merely one day but an entire season? It’s true! Eastertide or the Easter season stretches for 50 days, from Easter Sunday to Pentecost (when the Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles). This Easter season is marked by the joyful celebration of Christ’s resurrection and the Church as witness to the Resurrection. Notice that the Sunday readings change during this season; the Old Testament reading is re- placed by stories of the earliest disciples evangelizing in the Acts of the Apostles. In the car on the way home from Mass this Sunday, talk about the reading from the Acts and how we are still called to witness to the Resur- rection more than 2,000 years later!

It is said that the oldest daughter assumed the nickname “Quarter Mary” because she always had her hand out for a quarter. She was sending money to St. Theresa’s Guild of Juneau in Alaska, where Bishop Cremont had worked as a missionary. He had come to Alaska from France. Mary Jane Wolsey was the first baptism, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wolsey. 2018 ~ OUR LADY OF LOURDES JUBILEE YEAR Our Lady of Lourdes 2110 S 32nd Ave Omaha, NE 68105 St. Adalbert 2617 S 31st St Omaha, NE 68105 March is Music in Catholic Schools Month.
