Dear Parish Family:
Fr. Ricky asked me to write this letter for him. So,
what’s been happening in the parish since I last
wrote? As I write this on Tuesday morning it
seems to have been rather uneventful.
Last night the parish and school budgets were
presented to the finance council and approved for
presentation to the Corporate Board on
Wednesday. Thank you everyone for your diligent
and hard work in preparing the budgets.
This morning, I’ll participate in the graduation
awards ceremony. It will be my privilege to
present the awards from the Knights of Columbus
and the St. Joseph Conference of the St. Vincent
de Paul Society.
Tomorrow evening at 5:30 p.m. we will have Mass
for our eighth graders as they graduate from St.
Joseph School and begin the next chapter of their
lives in high school. Congratulations, graduates!
As you read this, it will be 22 May, The Solemnity
of the Holy Trinity. Next Sunday, 29 May, will be
the Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of
Christ (Corpus Christi).
We are now in the Church’s season of Ordinary
Time that lasts until the first Sunday of Advent on
27 November 2016 (that means that Christmas is
just a few short weeks away). What a naughty
thing to say in May!
I wish you a safe, faith filled week!
Deacon Leon S. Mazza

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Este domingo la Iglesia celebra la
Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad: Padre, Hijo y
Espíritu Santo. Este dogma acerca de la realidad de
Dios es la clave para comprender la verdad de la
religión cristiana. Mediante el poder del Espíritu
Santo el Padre envió al Hijo como Salvador del
mundo. Estas tres personas son un solo Dios.
No es una doctrina fácil de comprender y
mucho menos de pintar en arte sagrado. Sin
embargo muchos artistas latinoamericanos han
intentado pintar simbólicamente la verdad de la
Santísima Trinidad. En muchos casos imaginan al
Padre cargando a Jesús en la cruz y soplando sobre
él el Espíritu en forma de paloma. A veces Padre e
Hijo están entronados sobre las nubes soplando el
Espíritu mutuamente y las alas de la paloma tocan
los labios de ambos. En algunos casos el Padre, el
Hijo y el Espíritu Santo son tres cabezas que salen
de un solo cuerpo. Seguido los tres tienen el mismo
rostro distinguiéndose solo por el color de sus
vestiduras o los símbolos que cargan.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Around the turn of the fourth century,
Augustine, still fairly fresh from the baptismal waters
in Milan, was elected bishop of a tiny city in North
Africa, Hippo. He told his people, “While I am
frightened by what I am for you, then I am consoled
by what I am with you. For you I am a bishop, with
you I am a Christian.” He had his priorities right, and
also knew that everyone coming from the water
arises with a ministry, a specific role, in bringing
about God’s kingdom.
If we were asked to purge English of Greek
vocabulary, we would gain an insight into key
ministries in our church. Bishop, from the Greek
episkopos, would become simply “overseer;” priest,
from the Greek presybter, would become “elder;” and
deacon, from the Greek diakonos, would be
“servant.” Each title stands in relationship to all the
baptized, serving the community, helping it to be the
Body of Christ. In our deepest tradition, each of
these ordained ministries is attuned to help us
become our best selves, to hunger and thirst for the
coming of God’s kingdom. The goal for each one of
us is to be able to recognize the presence of Christ in
worship and in service. Although only some of us are
ordained to ministry, each of us is called to ministry.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United
States originated on Columbus Day, 1893. It
contained no reference to Almighty God. Through
the work of the Knights of Columbus, a resolution
to amend the Pledge of Allegiance by the addition
of the words “under God” after the words “one
nation” was adopted. It was signed by President
Eisenhower on Flag Day, June 14, 1954. President
Eisenhower said: "These words will help us to
keep constantly in our minds and hearts the
spiritual and moral principles which alone give
dignity to man, and upon which our way of life is
founded. For the contribution which your
organization has made to this cause, we must be
genuinely grateful.”
Scripture rosaries in honor of Our Blessed Mother
continue with the Catholic Daughters and the
Knights on Sundays through May at 3 p.m. in the
chapel at the parish office. Our next first Friday
fish dinner is scheduled for June 3. Summer is the
time for fish! All are invited and encouraged to
participate in the rosaries and the dinner.
If you are a Catholic man interested in becoming a
Knight, please contact our council at 520-303-4791

JOURNEY OF FAITH
We are on a long and eventful journey. Today’s readings for Trinity Sunday succinctly cover
the depth and breadth of our human travels.
The very beginnings of our journey are revealed in the reading from Proverbs. God’s plan
filled with divine wisdom was born before the earth
was made. In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of his
own personal journey. He has come from the Father
and will return to the Father. Only then will the Advocate—the Spirit of Truth—take us onward.
This does not diminish the fact that the journey will be hard. The very setting of the Gospel is
the night before Jesus died. As Saint Paul writes to
the Romans, “[W]e even boast of our afflictions,
knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character,
hope” (Romans 5:3-4).
Ultimately, our human journey is modeled by
the Holy Trinity—a family of love among Father,
Son, and Spirit that we are all called to emulate.

VIAJE DE FE
Estamos en un viaje largo y lleno de acontecimientos. Las lecturas de hoy para el Domingo de
la Santísima Trinidad cubren sucintamente la profundidad y la amplitud de nuestros viajes humanos.
Los comienzos de nuestro viaje se revelan
en la lectura de Proverbios. El plan de Dios lleno de
sabiduría divina nació antes de que la tierra existiera. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla de su propio
viaje personal. Él ha venido del Padre y volverá al
Padre. Sólo en ese momento el Paráclito –el Espíritu de la Verdad– nos llevará hacia adelante.
Esto no disminuye la dificultad del viaje. El
contexto mismo del Evangelio es la noche antes de
la muerte de Jesús. Como san Pablo les escribe a
los romanos, “Nos gloriamos hasta de los sufrimientos, pues sabemos que el sufrimiento engendra la
paciencia, la paciencia engendra la virtud sólida, la
virtud sólida engendra la esperanza” (Romanos 5:34).
En última instancia, nuestro viaje humano
está modelado por la Santísima Trinidad –una familia de amor entre el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu que
todos somos llamados a emular.
