Were You Parishioners
from 1984-1990,
or Know someone Who Was?
New Yorker, Bishop Timothy McDonnell, retired
bishop of Springfield, Massachusetts, will be the
celebrant at the regular 9:30 Sunday Mass on
Sunday, May 15th, when he will confirm 20
children. He was our pastor, 1984-1990.
Among other capital projects, he started the Daily
Breakfast Line and Food Pantry, had the
sanctuary reconfigured per Vatican II, created the
freestanding altar, installed the bronze gate at
the baptismal font, relocated the bronze altar
cross to the back of the church, created the
Reconciliation Chapel, and had the old lower
church reconfigured as the “Monsignor George
Murphy Center.” WHEW! All in six years! He
motivated our parishioners with good information
and love, making our beautiful church even more
so.

Where’s the Poor Box?
USE THE BRONZE WALL SAFES
Sorry, we did not inform you sooner. We had to “retire”
the creaky, old wooden box that stood in the middle
aisle because of security and safety reasons. We
consider ourselves blessed to have so many of you
routinely donate to the needy. Bronze wall safes for
the Poor are:
(1) On either side of the back wall,
(2) Near the statue of St. Anthony,
(3) Near the statue of St. Thérèse.
Thank you for the Christ-like spirit of charity that
makes Holy Trinity parish so special.

Welcome Home!
Later tonight, we are expecting the 8 parishioners who
went on the 11th annual C.R.C. mission trip to the
Mission of San Pedro in the Dominican Republic to
return home. God bless thee good-hearted Christians
who live their faith so demonstrably. Special thanks go
to Dave Cervini for providing this critical opportunity
for Christian service to our parish. A very generous
C.R.C. donation was delivered to the folks who run the
Mission. The charity of Christ impels us! (2
Corinthians 5:14)

YO SOY LA VIDA …
Sophia, ChurchMouse
Here’s a great way of thinking about death and
resurrection. Founding Father, Benjamin
Franklin composed the epitaph for his own
gravestone. Now remember, Franklin was proud
of being an excellent printer and a firm, Christian
believer.
The body of B. Franklin, Printer
(Like the Cover of an Old Book,
Its contents torn out and stript of
Its Lettering and Gilding)
Lies here, food for worms.
But the WORK shall not be lost;
For it will (as he believed)
Appear once more
In a New and more elegant edition,
Revised and corrected by the AUTHOR.

Tonight!
MUSICA TRINITATIS
HOLY TRINITY SUNDAY EVENING CONCERT SERIES
La vida eterna tiene escasa repercusión en nuestro
tiempo. Los seres humanos somos deficitarios de
eternidad. Nos hemos acostumbrado a ir contando todo
de "tejas para abajo". La Palabra de hoy nos recuerda la
necesidad que tanto en la catequesis como en la
pastoral hagamos una y otra vez referencia a la vida
eterna, no entendiendo la eternidad como algo alejado
del mundo en el que aún estamos. La eternidad, el
estar con Dios es posible hoy, ya, ahora, aunque todavía
no... Saber presentar a las personas de hoy la vida
eterna como herencia que el Señor nos ofrece es un
reto delicado y comprometido. En tu trabajo o acción
pastoral ¿Cómo presentas la realidad de la vida eterna?
De la misma manera que hay una vida eterna hay una
muerte eterna, de las que las ovejas de Cristo están
totalmente libres: "jamás perecerán ni nadie me las
quitará." No debemos confundir los distintos momentos
* de sufrimiento humano con el abandono de Dios. Dios
está también diciéndonos algo en los episodios de dolor.
No nos abandona; va al paso que nosotros podemos
andar. Si permanecemos en el amor de Dios nadie nos
puede arrebatar su amor.
Hace falta ser oveja de Cristo para oír y comprender su
voz. Hay muchas voces en nuestro mundo que nos
pueden confundir, incluso alejarnos de la Palabra dicha
para cada uno de nosotros. La Palabra se ha dicho para
que habite en nuestros corazones y desde ahí darnos
vida eterna.
