We have scheduled special receptions in honor of Fr. Lorenzo Ricci next weekend, June 13th and 14th. After each of the Masses, you are invited to gather in the Overflow for refreshments and for a time for you to say farewell and to thank Fr. Lorenzo for the loving service that he had given to us. We look forward to seeing you!
Thank you for all you do for our family of faith. May God always bless our parish in holiness!
I found a wonderful old Latin prayer to the Most Holy Trinity that goes like this: Libera nos, salva nos, justifica nos, O Beata Trinitas. The translation is as follows: Free us, save us, make us just, O Blessed Trinity. Today we recall with gratitude that our wonderful parish is named in honor of the Most Blessed Trinity. This means that our parish family has been placed under the special protection of the three Persons of the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. On our feast day we beg God to give us the true freedom from our sins that He alone can give, to save us for eternal life and to make us just in His sight. Free us, save us, make us just, O Blessed Trinity!
Our maintenance men, Mark and Jay, have worked long, long hours to get the Fr. Puhl Center ready for the Holy Mass and I think they have done a marvelous job! I want to thank them for all the hard work and dedication.
This weekend we settle in to our new “home-away-from-home”, there will be a few kinks to work out but be patient with us. We’ve discovered that moving the church is a complicated process! I think that the Fr. Puhl Center looks beautiful and is certainly a worthy place to offer the Holy Mass while we wait the nine moths that it will take for our renovated church to be “born”.

My first attempts at gardening were pitiful; I did not know where to start, therefore I did not like it, and I put it off as long as I could. Consequently, by the time I walked outside, armed with the wrong tools for the job at hand, the sight of my neglected yard was overwhelming. After ten minutes of half-hearted attempts at whatever I was doing, I gave up in discouragement and went back into the house.
But, I love flowers, and trees, and quiet, so I kept up my puny efforts. Eventually, with the help of family and friends, I began to learn a few tricks, and now going out and grubbing in the dirt is enjoyable; watching flowers bloom and multiply is a joy.
This coming Friday, June 5th, we will celebrate our monthly Latin First Friday Mass in the Fr. Puhl Center.
Come and join us at 5:00 pm for Rosary, followed by the Holy Mass at 5:30 pm.
A few minor issues fixed. I will be in Europe from June 10-23. Hopefully, I can find someone to put up the bulletin in my absence.
If you see any problems or find bugs please leave a comment so I can log it and fix.
This weekend, May 30-31, is the last weekend that we will celebrate the Holy Mass in the church as it is now. During all next week, our hard-working maintenance crew will be busy transforming the Fr. Puhl Center into our temporary church, while renovations take place. Our new location is going to work very well and will be very appropriate for the Holy Mass. Another bright spot: with Summer coming up, we will have beautiful air conditioning during Mass!
This weekend we celebrate the great Feast of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles, giving birth to the Church.
Let us pray that with the help of the Paraclete, the entire world will understand the same language: the language of the Gospel.
Our Holy Catholic school says goodbye to our newest graduation class. As I look at the names of our eighth graders who will move on to high school, I can hardly believe that so many years have already gone by! I remember seeing some of our graduates as kindergartners, the first year that I came to Holy Trinity as your pastor. They were stepping into school for the first time of their lives, bright faced, with great expectations and some anxiety: the same feelings that I experienced when I first came among you.
