TIMES OF REFRESHING
Fr. Ricky V. Ordóñez
Father's Column will return next week.
Lets talk about the Blessed Trinity...
In The name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
With this simple act – we profess the highest and holiest mystery about God, the blessed Trinity, while confessing what Jesus Christ did on Calvary for our salvation.
We perform this sacred prayer when we enter the Church and at the beginning and end of every Mass, acknowledging our holy space and God’s presence.
Sometimes, we do it when we think we are in trouble or need divine help.
We acknowledge that through our Baptism, we are adopted as God’s children, the divine family of Christ, a part of the Church. This is our identity.
The Trinity is the Highest Mystery – telling us what God has done.
Creation, redemption, sanctification.
The Trinity Essentially identifies who God is in himself, from all eternity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
This is the Chief Mystery of our Faith.
Here is a link to a short video explaining the Blessed Trinity.
Great family time idea!!
The Faith Formation Corner:
This Corner brings you information about the Evangelization efforts happening at the Parish.
Our fantastic Volunteer teams and the director will highlight a particular ministry within the Faith Formation program each week.

RCIA- Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Holy Hour will occur every Monday after 7:00 Mass and Friday @ 6:00 pm.
What is Holy Hour?
Holy hours are the Roman Catholic devotional tradition of spending an hour in Eucharistic Adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
The importance of Eucharistic Adoration is shown in the fact that the Church has a ritual that regulates it: the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction.
This is an extension of the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, which occurs in every Mass: "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb."
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church.
The Rite concludes with the ordained minister blessing the faithful with the Blessed Sacrament. ( Benediction )
