FR. MARK’S CORNER Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday and the unity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. As we
delve into the mystery that is the HolyTrinity we come to the inevitable
conclusion of the bond of love that is the driving force of our Godhead. It is this relationshipthat we are called to emulate in our own lives as members of the living Body of Christ, the Church. Continue the
journey infaith… Easter practice: Triune Godhead unite us in the love you share!Upcoming EventsOn Sunday, June 9th at the
10am Mass we will be privileged to have newly ordained, Fr. David Maichrowicz, celebrating hisFirst
Mass of Thanksgiving. We invite the entire parish to join us in praising God for the gift of his vocation and ordination.There will be a reception following in the parish hall so that all may receive his first blessing and congratulate

to the Sunday collection and restricted donations. As you know, it is veryexpensive
to keep this facility well maintained. In the past month, in addition to the usual upkeep we have added a new commercialice maker and coffee dispenser in our parish hall. We continue to update our electrical panels, fuse boxes and outlets.
We arereplacing one of the air conditioning units above the Church bldg. which has
failed. Each of these things, cost in the tens of thousandsso your consistent sacrifice
and generosity is not only appreciated, but needed. Thank you.Together in MissionWe have not yet reached our goal this year for Together in Mission.
