My dear friends in Christ,
For countless generations we have attempted to plumb the depths of the inexhaustible mystery which is the Holy Trinity. Our belief is in the One God who is revealed in three divine Persons ̶ Father, Son, and Spirit ̶ the creative, the redemptive, and the sanctifying love of God. The Trinity is about relationship. The Son is obedient to the Father and the Father does whatever the Son asks. The Father and the Son send the Spirit and the Son is obedient to the Spirit. The first Sunday after Pentecost celebrates the great dogma of the Christian faith, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, which was declared a feast of the universal Church in 1334 by Pope John XXII. We make reference and pay reverence to the Trinity when we make the sign of the cross, which professes faith both in the redemption of Christ and in the Triune God.
Some have asked when the Super 50-50 tickets will go on sale. After license is granted and tickets are printed, we will announce when they’ll go on sale. Drawing will take place on Saturday, October 28th at the Octoberfest Beef and Beverage dinner following the 4:00 PM Mass. Because the Feast of Corpus Christi falls on Father’s day this year, we are not having a parish picnic. The following week on June 25th, I will be installed as Pastor here at Corpus Christi by Fr. Pfleger, Episcopal Vicar for Burlington County. A reception (that means food) will be held immediately following in Bogdan Hall.
May those Father’s who will not be with us next week enjoy their special day!
May God bless you all!
Fr. John
