Dear Parishioners,
First, my apologies for not publishing sooner the following: Congratulations to Jaxon Daniel Bond, son of Brad and Andrea (Ourada) and to Jacinta Christine Turbes, daughter of Andrew and Jaye Turbes who were both baptized now two weeks ago. May they grow in love of Christ!
Congratulations again to all of our new graduates! May the Lord bless all your endeavors.
We celebrate Memorial Day this Monday. I hope that you take advantage of one of the civil ceremonies, in addition to offering Mass for the deceased, wounded, active, and retired military men and women. This day is also a beautiful one on which to visit graves of loved ones.
Liturgically, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Trinity this weekend. This feast provides us an opportunity to reflect on the Trinity's internal reality - who God is in Himself. He is three separate persons, perfectly united in one being. Our mortal minds will never grasp that full reality, but what we can grasp is that these three persons are co-eternal. The Father is ever begetting the Son, and the Son is ever begotten, while the Spirit proceeds to and from the Father and Son. The Trinity is the model for family - perfectly united and equal, yet yet different persons. The Trinity is communitarian and creative - so is the family. As we worship the Holy Trinity, let us continue to strive to follow His model in our family lives.
In Christ,
Fr. Todd
