NOTES FROM THE PASTOR

Reflections for Trinity Sunday:

The catechism of the Catholic Church calls the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity the most important mystery of our faith.

Do we show enough awe for the greatness and the glory of this mystery? When we were helpless God saved us. Each

time we gather at Mass and each time we bless ourselves we are mindful of the role that the Trinity plays in our lives.

Each Sunday as we pray the Creed we are mindful of the role that the Trinity plays in our lives. God is always acting in

history and in our lives on behalf of us to strengthen the bond of love between God and us. God, the Blessed Trinity

three persons in one God is the perfect community of love. God is with us and for us. What God does is an extension of

who He is. By virtue of our Baptisms we have a wonderful opportunity to proclaim to the world how blessed we are. It is

God’s wish as expressed by Jesus that we take part in the mystery of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit empowers us to re-

ceive God’s love. We share in the mission of the Trinity through the power of the Holy Spirit. God’s love is revealed

through acts of love. We are destined to be with God forever. How do we invite others to believe?

SAVE THE DATE!

As you all know, Fr. Phil will be leaving in June. His last

Mass will be June 18th at 11:30. Please join us at his

final Mass, followed by a luncheon in Ward Hall.

Message from Fr. Phil:

Next weekend will be my last weekend here. Having been here for over fourteen years there are so many people I

wish to express my gratitude and give them thanks. I wish today to thank all of you who are my extended family and

have been such a major part of my life. Thank you for the way you received me as your pastor.

Fr. Derick Borek will be coming here next week and I believe you will really love him.

Thank you.

Catholic Appeal:

I am pleased to say thank you for the way you are respond-

ing to the Catholic Appeal. Cardinal Sean sent me a letter

last week asking me to express to you his gratefulness for

the way you have responded to the Catholic Appeal. We

have reached our goal and every future contribution this

year greatly blesses both the Archdiocese and the Parish.

Thank you.

Music News

Last weekend, our Youth Choir sang its final Youth Choir

Mass of this school year. Thank you to all Youth Choir

members for a wonderful year in our music minis-

try. Thank you to the Youth Choir parents for all of the

support throughout the year. And thank you to our con-

gregation, for all of your participation at Youth Choir

masses and your encouragement of our young people in

their ministry! Now that we are in a new liturgical season, we are re-

turning to our Mass of Renewal Gloria, which was intro-

duced last summer and which we sang through the fall

and winter leading up to Lent. We are also introducing

a new Holy Holy this week, which comes from the Mass

of Renewal as well. Did you know that we have been

doing the Mass of Christ the Savior Holy Holy for three

years? It is a good time to introduce another positive,

praising Holy Holy and I am excited to share it with St.

Bart’s. On Sunday, June 18th at 11:30 am, Father Phil will say

his last Mass at St. Bart’s. There will be a luncheon to

follow. Both the Adult Choir and the Youth Choir will be

providing the music for the Mass. We look forward to

lifting everyone in song for this Mass, and hope to have

everyone singing with us as we wish Father Phil well.

STEWARDSHIP: A WAY OF LIFE Sharing: Time Talent Treasure WORDS WORTH REMEMBERING PENTECOST: In a locked room He entered and said :”Peace be with you.” He showed them His wounds—His hands

and side. “As the Father has sent Me, so I send you. And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to

them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are re-

tained.” (John 20:19-23) Remember this is the same Holy Spirit that resided over the beginning of creation and all

events through the history of the world and our church and all the peoples, saints, prophets, Mary and all holy events

that have been preserved for our education and spiritual development. And still all He wants for us, each of us individu-

ally, is Peace and Love for Him and each other.. All else is secondary. “There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Edith Wharton “Think of all the beauty still around you and be happy.” Anne Frank “The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.” Agatha Christie “Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.” Mother Teresa “The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” William Faulkner “All things are possible until they are proved impossible-and even the impossible may only be so as of now.” Pearl

The Ninth Annual Biblical Studies Seminar Spon-

sored by The Master of Arts in Ministry Program of

the Theological Institute at Saint John’s Seminary

Prayer in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament

Presenter: Prof. Celia Sirois The instruction of the

Church in the Catechism teaches us that “the important

thing is to advance, with the Holy Spirit, along the one

way of prayer … to union with the Lord Jesus” (CCC

#2707-8). This short course will be an overview of that

journey, taking us from the prayer of Moses to that of

Jesus himself.

Dates: June 12, 19 & 26, 2017 Place: 149 Washington

Street, Brighton, MA Time: 7:00-9:00 pm

June 11 ~ The Most Holy Trinity, Solemnity

The Most Holy Trinity – God the Father, God the Son, and

God the Holy Spirit is a Mystery of our faith - not to solve,

but to believe and delight in. Three Persons in One God.

Most of us learned to make the Sign of the Cross at a very

early age. It is a simple but direct statement of belief in

the Trinity. On this Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity,

take a few moments to simply and thoughtfully pray: In the

name of the Father, and of the Son, and of Holy Spirit.

Amen.
