Why not split the paragraph into sentences using string's split function on .(period/full stop). Then check for the word in each sentence one by one from the split-ed array and use the ones that contains the word and throw away the rest.

if the paragraph is stored in a string called str then:

string[] splits = atr.split('.'); // convert this to VB code please
