From the Pastor's Desk:

My Dear Parishioners,

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity-May 31st Today we celebrate the Most Holy Trinity. "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish, but might have eternal life." In the first reading, Moses goes up to Mount Sinai with the two stone tablets. Coming down in a cloud, the Lord stood with Moses, proclaimed his name, "LORD", and cried out: "The Lord, the Lord is a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity." Moses bowed down in worship and asked the Lord to accompany him. The second reading brings us the message of that we all need to mend our ways, encourage one another, and live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with us. The fellowship of the Holy Spirit will be with all of you. The Gospel tells us that God so loved the world that he gave us his only Son. God did not send his Son to condemn the world, but to be saved through Him. "Whoever believes in Him, will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, giving thanks to God the Father through Him!

May God Bless You!!
