We have returned to the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. However, today and next Sunday, the Church celebrates two solemnities—special days that call our attention to central mysteries of our faith. Today, we celebrate the Most Holy Trinity. This feast invites us to consider what we believe about God, who has revealed Himself to us in the Trinity—one God in three persons. The simplest prayer that we learned as children was how to make the Sign of the Cross and to pray the words: “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” May God: Father-Son-and Holy Spirit continue to be a guiding source in our daily lives.
The second collection this weekend is for the Building Maintenance Fund. I ask for your continued support of this collection.
I want to thank all parishioners, organizations, and committee members who had a hand in planning and preparing the farewell reception for Deacon Richard and Diane Abbondante. It was a meaningful celebration.
Next Sunday, June 19th is Father’s Day. The youth will have a Bake Sale under the portico.
Also, next weekend, June 18th & 19th, will be a special collection to replace the air conditioning unit in St. Mary’s Chapel (choir side). The approximate cost for the new air conditioning unit is $29,000.00.
