Most Holy Trinity May 27th, 2018

From the Desk of Father David

Dear Friends in Christ,

As we read in Genesis chapter 1 verse 27,

“God created man in His image; in the Divine image

He created him; male and female He created them.”

Have you ever pondered what it means to be created

in the image of God? It has so many meanings. To

be in the image of God reminds us that we are called

to create, to love, heal, be reconcilers, and the list

goes on. This Sunday as we focus on the Holy

Trinity, we recall that God is a community, three

persons but one God. Their bond is pure love. In

the Scriptures we see them all working together to

bring about our salvation. Since we are in the image

of God, today we recognize our need for community

that loves and accepts us. We do so many things

because we want to belong. I hope that when you

come to Church you realize that you belong here. It

is not like all the other places you go. Church is

your home. The place where your Father invites

you to the greatest meal, the Eucharist. You will be

nourished by Jesus’ word, body and blood which is

made possible by the Holy Spirit. I pray that you

realize you are a vital member of God’s family.

May we recognize the great gift of belonging and

help those we meet to recognize the family they are

looking for is here at Fourteen Holy Helpers. Not

perfect, but loving and welcoming.

Holy Trinity help us to reflect Your image

into the world by accepting Divine love and sharing

it with all those we meet. May those who feel they

don’t belong in this world, know that they are not a

mistake but have a home in the Church.

In Christ’s love, Fr. David

Catholic Trivia

This week’s question: What does “Ordinary

Time” refer to?

Be sure to come back next week for the

answer!

Last week’s question: What is the Feast of Corpus

Christi and when do we celebrate it?

Answer: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood

of Christ, historically known by its Latin name, Corpus

Christi, celebrates the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in

the Holy Eucharist—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. It

was traditionally celebrated on the Thursday following the

Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, however, in modern times

the Feast has been moved to the Sunday after Trinity

Sunday. This year Corpus Christi falls on Sunday June 3.

Prayer for Our Newly Ordained Priests

O Jesus, our great High Priest, hear our humble prayers

on behalf of your priests, Fathers Peter Nsa Bassey,

Paul Stanislaw Cygan, Peter Santandreu and Gerard

Skrzynski. Give them a deep faith, a bright and firm

hope, and a burning love which will ever increase in

the course of their priestly lives.

In their loneliness, comfort them; in their sorrows,

strengthen them; in their frustrations, point out to

them that it is through suffering that the soul is purified.

Show them that they are needed by the Church, they

are needed by souls, they are needed for the work of

redemption.

O loving Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Priests, take

to your heart your sons who are close to you because

of their priestly ordinations, and because of the power

which they have received to carry on the work of

Christ in a world which needs them so much. Be their

comfort, be their joy, be their strength, and especially

help them to live and to defend the ideals of

consecrated celibacy.

Amen.

Please pray for our newly ordained priests.

Bishop Richard J. Malone will have the honor of ordaining four

men to the priesthood on Saturday, June 2nd, 2018. The

special Mass will begin at 9:30 a.m. at

St. Joseph Cathedral.

The new priests, who were ordained

deacons in September, are:

Rev. Mr. Peter Nsa Bassey

Rev. Mr. Paul Stanislaw Cygan

Rev. Mr. Peter Santandreu

Rev. Mr. Gerard Skrzynski

Join us on

Monday, June 4th

at 3pm or 7pm in Msgr.

Ebner Hall.

You’re invited to a free screening of the movie

“All or Nothing-Sister Clare Crockett”.

A film about the life of Sister Clare Crockett who died in

an earthquake in Ecuador. Come and be inspired by her

amazing story. Sister Clare was an aspiring young

actress from Ireland who desired to become rich and

famous. She had an instantaneous conversion one Good

Friday when she venerated the Cross. She eventually

gave up everything to answer the call to religious life. It is

a story of the mercy of God, of a radical conversion and

total surrender. Call Karen Bishop at 674-2070 for more

information.

Father’s Day is coming soon...

Celebrate Father’s Day with a Novena to

show your loved ones you are

remembering them! Our Father's Day

Novena of Masses will begin Sat., June

17th. The Novena Cards and Envelopes

are available at all doors of the Church. Please take a

larger envelope if you will be honoring a loved one and

you wish to give them a card. The smaller envelopes are

to remember our loved ones that have passed but are not

forgotten. All envelopes returned will be place on the

altar throughout our Father’s Day Novena.

Cooking Tip: When Barbecuing you

can simply use cooking oil instead of

lighter fluid. Crumble some paper

sprinkle with cooking oil (not olive oil)

then place the charcoals on top of

the paper and light. By the time the

oil burns off, the coals will have

ignited.
