Happy Pentecost! We celebrate the much-needed gift of the Holy Spirit on this day. The whole basis of Christianity is that God has come to us: in the incarnation with God taking flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, and in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit which gives us all we need to remain connected personally and deeply with God.

Christianity is way less about our efforts to reach God or to be worthy of him or to do something to appease him — and way more about God’s effort to come to us and to draw us into Friendship. Come Holy Spirit and do your work in each of our lives, helping us to accept God’s invitation and leading us to witness God clearly, attractively, and effectively in our world. Welcome to the sacramental life of the Church to our men, women, and children who have been preparing all year for this! Our RCIA candidates received sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist this weekend at our Masses. Those already baptized in other Christian denominations made a profession of faith and were confirmed but not re-baptized. All of this normally would have been done at the Easter Vigil liturgy, but this is not a normal year! Pentecost is a fitting weekend to receive them. Please pray for them. Continue going to our website to sign-up for our weekend Masses. Beginning this week, we are now allowed to have an additional 25 people in the side chapel, so that will help!

Weekday Masses will now be wide open to any who come with no online sign-up

(unless we end up with huge overload of folks!). First 25 will be in the main church

and additional folks will be directed into the chapel (using the door facing the main

parking lot). Sign-up sheets will be at both entrances. With the increased numbers,

we will no longer be doing the 6:00pm weekday evening Masses.

And, the recorded Mass will continue to be posted Saturday afternoons.

Before the coronavirus erupted this winter, I announced I had asked to be moved to a smaller parish beginning this summer. As you know that has been postponed for a year due to all the unsettledness we are facing right now. I continue to consult with my counselor, spiritual director, and doctor on ways to better manage the workload here as I get older. I simply have to cut back. Knowing that Fr. Hans will be with us for another year, I will be turning more of the pastoral care over to him and am cutting back on the number of appointments I take each week. I love pastoring and it is hard for me to accept that I simply can’t continue at the pace I have maintained in the past. 60+ hour weeks can no longer be my norm. Please pray for me and be patient as we make adjustments here at the parish.

Hello, everyone! These “Corona funnies” were passed on to me by one of our illustrious fellow parishioners and gave me a good laugh (we all could use a good laugh these days!). Hope to see you all in church soon!

For the second part of this quarantine, do we have to stay with the same family or will they relocate us? Asking for myself. . .

New monthly budget: Gas: $0

Entertainment: $0

Clothes: $0

Groceries: $2,799

Not to brag, but I haven't been late to anything in over six weeks.

It may take a village to raise a child, but I swear it’s going to take a vineyard to homeschool one.

I wanted zombies and anarchy. Instead, we got working from home and toilet paper shortages.

You know those car commercials where there’s only one vehicle on the road? It doesn't seem so unrealistic these days. . .

I’m putting a drink in each room of my house today and calling it a pub crawl.

I stepped on my scale this morning. It said, “Please practice social distancing. Only one person at a time on scale.”

I really hope they give us a two-week notice before sending us back out into the real world. I think we all will need some time to become ourselves again. And by “become

hair cut, and adjust to not drinking at 9:00 a.m.

People keep asking: “Is this coronavirus REALLY all that serious?” Listen, y’all: both the churches and casinos are closed. When heaven and hell agree on the same thing, it’s probably pretty serious.

The spread of COVID-19 is based on two things:

1. How dense the population is.

2. How dense the population is.

Never in a million years could I have imagined that I would go up to a bank teller while wearing a mask and ask them for money.

Homeschool Day 1: I’m trying to figure out how I can get this kid transferred out of my class.

They can open things up next month — I’m staying in until July to see what happens to you all first.

Breaking News: Wearing a mask inside your home is now highly recommended. Not so much to stop COVID-19, but to stop eating.

Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We wander around the house looking for food, we get told “No” if we get too close to strangers, and we get really excited about going for walks and car rides.

The dumbest thing I’ve ever bought was a 2020 planner. . .

FAMILY FAITH REFLECTIONS Chris Storm— [email protected]

We’ve reached the end of the Month of Mary, and this year May 31st happens to also be Pentecost. That doesn’t happen very often. It has fallen on this day only three times in the last hundred years. It’s a big deal!

Pentecost is the day that the Holy Spirit appears to the disciples in a vision of wind and fire, and it launches them on a mission to share Jesus Christ with the world. It’s sometimes called “the birthday of the Church” because it established a potent and lasting relationship between the People of God and the Spirit of God. It was a change people could immediately see, and we have proof of just how effective it was. That morning, the disciples had been cowering in the Upper Room, afraid for their lives; by evening, they were preaching fearlessly in the streets — and to great effect, as three thousand people asked to be baptized that very day. On Pentecost, the disciples became a powerful force for change in the world.

But they were late to the party. Thirty (ish) years before, in a rather less dramatic way, the Holy Spirit came upon the first disciple. Without wind or fire or crowds of

people cheering, the Archangel Gabriel promised a young Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the most high will overshadow you. Therefore, the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God” (Luke 1:35).

The Holy Spirit first comes to us privately, as well. We encounter the Spirit in prayer, when we ask — and sometimes beg — God for strength, for patience, for wisdom when we face hard choices. We turn to God for guidance, for clarity, for courage in the face of difficulty. And as we pour out our problems to the Father, he fills us instead with his Spirit. The same Spirit that set the apostles on fire and brought Jesus Christ to birth. Mary, filled with the Spirit, introduced Jesus Christ to the world. Today, let’s honor all the ancestors of our faith who passed the Gospel from one generation to another and, finally, entrusted it to us. Then, let’s ask the Spirit to make us a new generation of apostles. We’ll bring Jesus into the world, just like Mary. Let’s make our mother proud!

NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED

There are two things that I have noticed as we cope with the COVID-19 pandemic: my hair has not been this long since the early 1980’s (and it was never this color then!), and people are incredible with their generosity! I see the concern for others and the desire to help, in whatever way possible, everywhere.

So many of you have contacted me with offers of food, funds, and services; students with Club Hope at three of the Beaverton High Schools are figuring out ways to safely celebrate and honor homeless graduating seniors; our Holy Trinity Knights of Columbus are shopping for items for the Food Closet; people everywhere are taking care of neighbors by delivering groceries to them; our own HT students still holding a food drive to help replenish the Food Closet. My interaction with other organizations and churches all wanting to do good has neve been higher. There are so many more examples, and I suspect you have many you could share as well.

The other day I was having a conversation with someone and they were talking about all the things they missed and how the virus was really making them sad and bringing them down. I completely understand that feeling and acknowledged that there are many things I miss as well, but I choose to not dwell on those aspects. I choose to see all of the good that people are doing; all of the positive that is happening both locally and globally.

This pandemic will pass. I pray that the caring for one another remains. And if your hair is getting a little long, so be it! Let it flow and think of your younger days when your knees weren’t so noisy!

STAY HEALTHY!

The Challenge of Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship

Part One: Our Call as Catholic Citizens

We’re wrapping up our overview of Part One of the USCCB’s two-part summary this weekend. We’ll look at Part Two this fall before our local and national elections.

Catholics Love Their Neighbors

“Taken together, these principles [the dignity of the human person, the common good, subsidiarity, and solidarity] provide a moral framework for Catholic engagement in advancing what we have called a “consistent ethic of life”. . . Rightly understood, this ethic does not treat all issues as morally equivalent; nor does it reduce the Catholic teaching to one or two issues. It anchors the Catholic commitment to defend human life and other human rights, from conception until natural death, in the fundamental obligation to respect the dignity of every human being as a child of God. . . Solidarity is “a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to. . .the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all”. . . [because] we are one human family.”

Visit h-t.org/faithful-citizenship to watch the USCCB’s short video “Catholics Love Their Neighbors” to see how we are called by Christ to let His love and justice reign.

F AITHFUL C ITIZENS HIP A Joint Column by the HT Health & Social Justice Ministries

Join us in the USCCB’s nationwide effort called Walking with Moms in Need: A Year of Service, to assist pregnant moms and families in need. Visit h-t.org/respect-life-ministry to learn more.

Did you know? This Pentecost Sunday, we will be praying “that the Holy Spirit, Lord and Giver of Life, may renew the face of the earth and make it a place where the poor are fed, strangers are welcomed, and the unborn are brought safely to birth” (priestsforlife.org). Join us in this prayer!

Be sure to check out the Listen to Your Heart brochure online at h-t.org/respect-life-ministry — it has many great resources to help pregnant women!
