Trinity Sunday

The Easter Season concluded with the celebration of the Solemnity of Pentecost.  Now, we return to Ordinary Time in the Liturgical Calendar.  We resume Ordinary Time with two major feasts of the Church:  The Most Holy Trinity and The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi).  Although the word “trinity” does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages). The concept of the trinity can never be completely understood or rationalized, but it is clearly taught in Scripture. Understanding of all scriptural doctrine is by faith which comes through the work of the Holy Spirit; therefore, it is appropriate that this mystery is celebrated the first Sunday after Pentecost, when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit first occurred.
            Thank you for your support in last week’s Peter’s Pence Collection.  Our contributions will be combined with those from our brothers and sisters around the world to help Pope Francis provide essential relief to people in need. 
            The second collection this weekend is for the Church roof.  I ask for your continued generosity.
            Monday, May 26 ^th is Memorial Day, when we remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Military.  Please continue to pray for all active duty military personnel in the world.
            Mark your calendars to help clean up the Lacour Center.  Please join your parish families on Saturday, June 9^th and Saturday, June 23^rd from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.
            Next weekend, June 2 ^nd and 3 ^rd, the second collection will be for the Building-Maintenance Fund. 
            Have a Blessed and pleasant summer week!
