THE MOST HOLY TRINITY SUNDAY

God is One. We also pray and strive for “unity and peace.” If we are to know unity and peace when we find it, we must first learn to seek it in our lives. As human beings we are physical, psychological and spiritual. We have treasures from the physical world. We have talents, which bolster our own and

others’ emotional lives. We have time enough for love because God is love and God lives forever. When we focus our lives, we realize that the unity and peace that we seek is not physical sleep or escape from emotional exhaustion, but the resting of our spirit with the Lord. God creates and gives us life. God redeems and ransoms us from death. God sanctifies and sustains us. Praise to the Holy Trinity. This Sunday the readings are: (1) Exodus 34: 4-6, 8-9 (2) 2 Corinthians 13: 11-13 (3) John 3:16-18.Year A Next Sunday the readings will be: (1) Deuteronomy 8: 2-3, 14-16 (2) 1 Corinthians 10: 16-17 (3) John 6: 51-58. Year A

Earth Tips By MHC Green Let’s Go Walking Walking is good for health and also protects our environment in the areas listed below: AIR POLLUTION: If we have short trips to make, it is more helpful for air quality to walk. Air pollution emissions from starting a motor vehicle is at its greatest at that point. NOISE POLLUTION: Noise levels in congested traffic areas provide a huge and serious noise pollution atmosphere. Most urban areas have hospitals, schools, churches and community buildings on main thoroughfares with little buffering or soundproofing. CLIMATE CHANGE: The creation of greenhouse gas emission from motor vehicles contributes a large impact to global warming. With rising numbers of these vehicles, the effect is only going to increase the damage to our delicate environment situation. ECONOMIC SAVINGS: Of course, if one walks you eliminate the expenses associated with use of an auto.

If You Can’t Receive Communion, Make a Spiritual Communion

“Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.” Act of Spiritual Communion The Church encourages frequent, even daily, Holy Communion, but if at any time we cannot go to Mass in or out of this season of the coronavirus, we can still unite ourselves to the Eucharist through making a spiritual Communion. By making an Act of Spiritual Communion, we express our faith in Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist and ask him to unite himself with us. Here is the Act of Spiritual Communion written by St. Alphonsus de Liguori:

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

MHC 2020 Festival We have made the very difficult decision to cancel this year's MHC festival due to the on-going global pandemic of COVID-19. There is much uncertainty right now on when things will be back to “normal” and we felt it was the right decision. That being said, our annual Festival is a major fundraiser for the parish so we are looking for ways we can recoup some of the lost revenue. Here are some things we have planned. We will still have the Mary, Help of Christians Raffle along with the ever popular Treasure Trove. (Both will be a little different than normal.)

Raffle tickets will be available in the church gathering space starting June 20 on the Raffle tickets table. Tickets will also be available at all doors. No searching required—just “grab & take”. Each envelope will contain 8 books of tickets and a letter explaining the raffle process which will be slightly different this year. Dates for Treasure Trove will be Thursday, July 30, Friday, July 31, Saturday, Aug 1 and Sunday, Aug. 2. Treasure Trove Donations: Drop off hours @ the Parish Center by Mary statue will be Monday–Friday from 10:00AM– 2:00PM starting Monday, June 8. Workers are required to help sort and price items. Used books may be dropped off at the same place and hours as Treasure Trove. There will be a table marked “Books”.

We are looking forward to next year's festival on July 16th, 17th, and 18th, 2021. Please save the dates. A big “Thank You” to everyone who has helped in 46 years of festivals you are appreciated. See you next year!!!
