The Most Holy Trinity

Dear Parishioners,

Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Trinity. At a young age, we learned to make the Sign of the Cross and the accompanying prayer: “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” We have lost track on the number of times we have said this prayer while making the Sign of the Cross. We say this when we enter a church, when we begin Mass, when we pray. It is our identity. It reminds us that we are in the presence of God. It joins us to millions of other Christians across time and space. It expresses our belief in the Triune God. Three persons in one God enabled God to become incarnate—enabled God to come down upon us in baptism—and enables God to be with us here today and every day. As we celebrate the Feast of the Trinity, let us contemplate the great wonders God has done and continues to do in our daily lives.

On Monday, the nation observes Memorial Day. It is observed on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in military service. Let us take a moment to pray for all who died in service to our country.

Our monthly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is Wednesday, June 2nd. Adoration begins at 1:00 P.M. and concludes with Benediction at 6:00 P.M.

Next weekend, June 5th and 6th, the Archdiocese of New Orleans returns to the Obligation to attend Mass for Catholics who are able to attend Mass.

Have a Blessed Week!
