- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- The Most Holy
Trinity
-
- When the Lord gave us the
Eucharist, he meant this great sacrament to sustain us. It is
the ‘bread of angels’ and ‘food for the journey.’
It enables us to go to God.
- Adults: Are there particular moments when
the Eucharist clearly became the decisive and life-giving sustenance
of my life, enabling me to go forward?
Children: How do I show gratitude and thanks
in my life?
- Habitat for Humanity -- Donation tithe builds Habitat Homes in other countries
A new Habitat build costs about $80,000 in
materials; $8,000 is sent to the International Office to help
build a home in less developed countries.
Over the years the Faith Build Coalition
has built 6 homes in our area; they have also financed another
6 homes in other countries. Many of these homes have been built
in Guatemala.
We are rapidly reaching our goal for this year;
there have been 45 contributions, many of which have been quite
substantial. Thanks to all who have helped.
The second goal is that this gift be representative
of our faith community. We still have some work to do to broaden
the support for Habitat. Please give something, even a little
will mean much.
Diocesan Parish Share Campaign
Pledges to date: 40 Amount: $19,115.00
Our DPSC Goal is $25,700.00. Monies collected
above this amount will be returned to the parish. Remember, this
year we have major capitol improvements to make: the replacement
of the roof in the church and also the replacement of the heating
and air conditioning systems. Your support then is especially
important.

LITURGY BITS AND BYTES
Trinity Sunday
At every Sunday liturgy we begin with the sign
of the cross: “In the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.” Often the gesture we make with
those words becomes rote, even meaningless because we do it so
automatically. Yet, this gesture is one of the most basic and
profound signs of our faith. The gesture of crossing ourselves
not only praises the Trinity but makes a powerful statement about
who we are. How carefully do we make the sign? How aware are
we of the implications of “signing” ourselves? This
gesture could be so much more powerful if it were done with attention
and reverence. On Trinity Sunday, we can make a special effort
at signing ourselves with attention and devotion. Instead of
trying to “explain” the Trinity, we might take more
care at expressing our belief by the way we make the sign of
the cross.
