EASTER SUNDAY
MARCH 27, 2016
A Word from Our Pastor
Fr. Ron Weissbeck
Parish Office Closed Easter Monday
Monday, March 28th
Eucharistic Adoration and Parish Office closed.
Please join us for daily Mass at 6:30a.m. or 8:15 a.m.
My dear family in Christ,
The good has conquered darkness and death. We
say and believe this. Easter is the great feast of life. All of
this is true. How does it make a difference in our
individual lives? We come to church on Easter Sunday
and our senses are stimulated by all the visual signs of joy
and gladness. This visual invitation offers to us, the
believers, a renewal of our experience of God.
The message is one that says that life is stronger
than death, truth is not compromised by lies and deceit,
and the gift of the Risen LORD is our common heritage.
We take great pride in bringing into our parish the new
members who were initiated and professed. In the RCIA,
eight catechumens were fully incorporated into the church,
five adults made their profession of faith, and twenty-five
children were initiated. Since these children were above
seven years of age they received all the Sacraments of
Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. We
welcome them and invite the whole parish to pray for
growth and depth of faith.
The choice to become Catholic for adults is a
reminder to us who are “cradle Catholics” that the church
is not only attractive but meets the spiritual desires of the
searcher. Let us always keep in mind that this is a positive
statement about the power of the Holy Spirit to call
individuals to the fullness of faith that is offered in the
Catholic Church. It wasn’t just a matter of passing water
over their heads but a process in which they engage, for
some taking years, that is now fully expressed in the
sacramental celebration.
Easter is at the foundation of our faith. The
celebration lasts a whole week; everyday of this week is an
Easter day. We don’t move on as one would casually with
some events. (Yes, Denver was victorious in bringing
home the Lombardy trophy of the Super Bowl but it’s not
a continuous and intense celebration. It’s over with one
team winning and another losing). Easter is more than just
the fans; it is the proclamation that the resurrection makes
a difference in life, and for the believer, a new perspective
that is filled with light, hope, and truth. These words,
then, have to be translated into our life and the way we
behave.
May we all be renewed by the Easter joy.
Remember, this time lasts 50 days through which we are
invited to plunge into this unbelievable mystery that God
has given us by letting the Son conquer sin, death, and
selfishness with the promise of peace and life.
Please check out the “Catholic Enrichment” menu
selection at www.johnthebaptist.org for more information
on various groups and ministries devoted to assisting each
of us in learning more about our faith.

Class Schedule: Sunday, K-2nd Grade 9:30 - 10:15 a.m.

2015-2016 Year: September 15, 2015 - April 26, 2016
2016/2017 early registration is fast approaching in April!
Early registration discounts apply from April – June; $65
for one student and $130 for two or more. After that
prices will return to $75 for one student and $140 for two
or more.
The 2016/2017 school year will begin Sunday, August
21st for all classes. St. John’s will be preparing our
children 6th grade and older for Confirmation this
upcoming year, keeping us on schedule to comply with
Archbishop Aquila’s mandate of “Restored Order.”
We will prepare our children in 2nd grade for their First
Communion this upcoming year. This upcoming year
we will be holding all Religious Education classes on
Sunday mornings from 9:30 a.m.-10:15 a.m.
Adult CREED
Our next Adult CREED will be held on Tuesday, April
19th in Benedict Hall from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. What is
adult CREED? Adult CREED is Catholic Religious
Education for Adults. It is a program designed as a
resource for our parishioners to learn more about
various aspects of our faith. We offer it simultaneously
with our Tuesday night children’s CREED program so the
parents of our students can take advantage of this class if
they choose.
Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)
Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a wonderful way for our
younger children to learn about the Liturgy of the Word in
way they can best understand. CLOW Liturgies will be at
the 10:30 Mass through May unless we are celebrating a
special feast day. If you would like your 4 year old-2nd
grader to attend, please show up 10 minutes early to the
10:30 Mass so the CLOW volunteers can bring your child
to the Chapel and get them settled and prepared to follow
along. The children will return to their parents at the time
of the collection, to celebrate the Liturgy of the Eucharist
with their whole family. If you have a child who has
received their First Holy Eucharist, they are expected to
stay in the main Church and participate in the full Mass.
The Children’s Liturgy of the Word is meant to help our
little ones in preparation for their First Holy Eucharist by
explaining the Liturgy of the Word and assisting them in
their understanding of that week’s Gospel.

information, contact Jack Juenemann at 720-412-0253.
Last year’s recipients were Katie Gillett and Grace
Sammoury.
Attention All Eighth Graders

St. John’s Food Bank
and Outreach
By John Williams
I never cease to be amazed at the dedication and
work ethic of our Food Bank volunteers and drivers.
Some of these volunteers were involved with St. John’s
Food Bank even before I arrived in 2006. Yet, they still
come in every week and volunteer for 2-3 hour shifts.
Every crew is a unique story of companionship
and teamwork. Each shift has their own responsibilities
and has become over the years, very efficient at the tasks
they must perform. One shift can perform a task one way,
and another shift can do the same task with a different
approach. Many of our volunteers are diversified to
perform other tasks when asked, and you know it will at
least meet or exceed expectations.
The majority of our volunteers are Catholics
attending St. John the Baptist Catholic Church or
St. Francis of Assisi. Others are Christians of other
denominations. Generally speaking, they are just about
the finest folks you would love to work with. This
ministry of helping feed the hungry and resource referral
alone is a testament to their desire to serve God, which at
the end of the day, lifts our spirits. I can never express my
appreciation fully to these volunteers. They make every
shift I work with them special. They have high standards,
and do everything asked of them. I am quite sure God
smiles down on them and gives them His blessing!
May the Risen Lord rejuvenate you!!
Retrouvaille A lifeline for marriages
Rediscover Your Marriage – Retrouvaille (pronounced
retro-vi with a long i) simply means rediscovery. The
program offers the chance to rediscover yourself, your
spouse, and a loving relationship in your marriage. Tens
of thousands headed for divorce have successfully saved
their marriages by attending. Retrouvaille is not a
spiritual retreat, not a sensitivity group, not a seminar, not
a social gathering. For confidential information about or
to register for the April program beginning with a
weekend on April 15-17, 2016, call 720-257-9106 or
email: [email protected] or visit the web site at
www.HelpOurMarriage.com.
Divine Mercy Sunday, April 3, 2016
The Jubilee Year of Mercy announced by Pope Francis
began December 8, 2015. We honor God’s mercy the
most when we trust in Him, partake of the sacraments of
His love, especially the Eucharist, and when we are
merciful to one another. Please join us on Divine Mercy
Sunday in praising God and thanking him for his merciful
love. The Holy Hour service will begin in the church at
2:30 p.m. and include prayer, recitation of the Divine
Mercy Chaplet, and Benediction.
Altar and Rosary Society Meeting
All the women of our parish are invited to the
Wednesday, April 6th Altar and Rosary Meeting. We
will begin at 12:00 p.m. with the rosary in the
chapel. Father Gerardo Garcia is our special
guest. Please bring candy for our diocesan
seminarians. St. Theresa Circle is hostess. If you have
questions please contact Mary Clemmons 303-250-8581.
The Holy Spirit Circle of the Altar
and Rosary Society will have a bake
sale on Sunday, April 10th after all
Masses. All donations will be greatly
appreciated including baked goods, cash, or checks. The
Holy Spirit Circle helps families with long term needs.
The primary recipient of our services is Safe Shelter. See
you there!
A Marriage Encounter Weekend is fast approaching!
Please join us April 1st-3rd! To register, or for
more information, please visit:
http://northerncolorado-wwme.org. Are we also like
Peter and deny Christ over and over? Christ calls us to
be all we can in our marriage sacrament. Upcoming
weekends include: July 15th-17th and September
16th-18th.

sol de su vida y corazón.
Demos al Padre la alabanza por Jesucristo, Hijo y

Fr. Gerardo
El Domingo de Pascua de la Resurrección del Señor
Hoy la Iglesia se viste de gala; la fiesta de cincuenta días
pascuales ha comenzado y nuestros catecúmenos participan
con toda la comunidad en su alegría. Mediante el bautismo
de estos, se nos recuerda lo que el profeta Ezequiel en sus
tiempos anunciaba a su pueblo, el cual había vivido acciones
impuras y su corazón endurecido escuchaba estas palabras de
consuelo: “Los rociaré con agua pura y quedarán purificados;
los purificaré de todas sus inmundicias e idolatrías.” Estas
palabras de la lectura de la vigilia penetran y alegran los
corazones de todos los bautizados. Todos los que hemos
vivido en el pecado somos lavados con el agua viva mientras
renovamos nuestras promesas bautismales y nos rocían con
el agua santa.
Jesús ha resucitado de la muerte. Las mujeres no
habían removido la piedra, pero sí removieron la
incredulidad. El Evangelio nos dice que dos hombres con
ropas fulgurantes les preguntaron cuando más asustadas
estaban: ¿Por qué buscan entre los muertos al que está vivo?
Las mujeres creyeron, pero a la vez no les creyeron a ellas
cuando fueron de prisa a compartir su experiencia con los
discípulos. Ellas ya estaban envueltas de la Resurrección,
pero a ellos les faltaba creer para estarlo. ¡Qué contraste!
Ellas fueron apóstoles de los apóstoles. La Pascua es vida
nueva para todas aquellas personas que se sienten menos
apreciadas, inadecuadas y despreciadas. Es por eso que la
Iglesia celebra la Nueva Evangelización. Es decir, el
mensaje del Evangelio debe ser nuevo en nuestros corazones.
¿Creemos esto? Entonces celebrémoslo junto con los recién
bautizados: ¡Aleluya!

Our tradition has a way of honoring age-old
customs, and is patient with how practices unfold in
different places. The name of today’s feast illustrates this
well. English is a Germanic language, and our word
“Easter,” or German “Oester,” points back to the pagan
goddess Eoestre, the star of the vernal equinox feast. The
Greek title “Pasch” reaches back in a more helpful manner
to the Hebrew “Pesach,” or “Passover.” Paschal Triduum”
may be slow to replace “Easter” in our vocabulary, but it is
clearer about the mystery we celebrate today, the
culmination of three days laden with mystery and meaning.
You can hear the older term, and the resistance to English
influence, in the Irish “Casca” and Scottish “Pask.”
Romance languages stay close to the deep paschal tradition,
with the French “Pâques,” Spanish “Pascua” and Italian
“Pasqua.” Memories of our pagan past with “Oester” will
not soon fade away: even Japanese Christians are under her
spell, for today’s feast is called “ I-suta.” Swahili, a young
language, takes the more traditional route with “Pasaka.”
Each language yields a rich insight into the feast. Spanish
includes a sense that today is a “big Sunday” by adding the
designation “Pascua” to the greatest feasts, such as “Pascua
de la Natividad” (Christmas). Once Christ is risen, every
step of life’s journey is illuminated by the light of the
Pasch!
