Fifth Sunday of Easter
May 14th, 2006
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Sisters and brothers, today the Lord Jesus announces that hw is the vine and we are the branches. The Holy Spirit draws us together in this holy place to be a people grafted onto the vine; a people whose very life comes from the power that radiates from the death and resurrection of Christ. We lift up our hearts and voices in a song of endless praise.
A marvelous image of the Church is set before us in today's readings. Jesus refers to himself as the vine and calls his followers the branches. Saint Paul, who once persecuted the early Christians - in a sense, attempting the server the branches - is converted to Christ and begins to proclaim boldly the name of the Lord. The Church is made up of a wide variety of people who together make up this glorious vine that bears the fruits of justice and peace, forgiveness and reconciliation, comfort and consolation.
A Bacaulauate Mass will be celebrated for all high school graduates from our parish on May 21st at the 11:00 am Mass. Graduates are asked to meet in back of church for the Entrance Processional.
St. Xavier Alumni Banquet and Dance will be Saturday, May 27th, at the Knight of Columbus Hall. Cost is $12.50 for advance tickets and $15.00 at the door, per person. The speaker will be Jose Davis, a 1981 St. Xavier School Graduate. Davis is deputy intelligence officer, Joint Forces Headquarters Kansas, Kansas National Guard. He works in Topeka for Adjutant General's Department. He has earn a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science from Kansas State University, a Master of Science in Management from Baker University and a Master of Science in Strategic Studies from the United States War College in Carlisle, PA.
