A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners and Guests:
As the bulletin goes to press, we are
waiting for Bishop Campbell to make known his plans for our future—yours with a
new pastor and mine with a new parish. I
am also in the dark about the plans you have as a parish for Saturday’s “Open
House.” I was told to keep my calendar
clear and to be there. You have done a
good job of not telling me what you have planned.
Since it has been called a “going away
party” (I heard this from the Bishop!), I trust that it was to be a way of
sharing the joy of the more than a dozen years we have spent together here at
Blessed Sacrament. And so, I thank you
for all that went into the event. It has
been a “good run” and I am truly in awe of all that we have accomplished
together.
So many tell me that I will be
missed. I can assure you as well that I
will miss you, even as I grow to love a new parish family. You will always have a special place in my
heart. They say a Pastor’s first parish
always has such a place.
On
this Trinity Sunday, I want to remind you that we are always united through the
Love of God. What we have enjoyed
together never really ends because it has God at its center. As we spend time in adoration of the Lord
after the Masses of this weekend and on our patronal Feast of Corpus Christi
next weekend, let us be thankful together for all that God has done with
us. Let us also pray for your new Pastor
and my new Parish, whoever and wherever they may be!

Doxology to The Blessed Trinity
Holy God, Holy Strong One,
Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us.
To You be praise,
To You be glory,
To You be thanksgiving
Through endless ages,
O Blessed Trinity.
Amen.

DID YOU KNOW that the human person is
destined for a share in the glory of God, with a ministry that is eternal? Who we are is from God. Once God puts us into being, as long as we
choose to cooperate with His plan for us, we grow in our own unique identity
for all time and in Eternity. The notion
of “Eternal Rest” points not to inactivity, as earthly rest does, but rather to
an activity that rests upon the very power of God. We are who we are now in time, and even more
so in Eternity.
The Communion of Saints is a cooperation among all who
belong to God, each living in interdependence with every other. God draws us all together into a harmonious
whole. Are you willing to play in His
symphony?
