News - September 2019 RSS Feed

Greetings brothers and sisters, last weekend, both the youth in Confirmation I and the Catechists were on retreat. Retreats can be such a powerful encounter with the Lord, and often the Holy Spirit can do great work in the time if we’re open to it. Our Youth Ministry Adore Missionaries, Catechists and staff put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears to help the young Church to have authentic encounters with Jesus, to grow in knowledge of Jesus and to send them out to live as missionary disciples.

Greetings brothers and sisters, how can it be September already!? It seems like just yesterday, it was July and I was just starting at Most Holy Trinity. The parish is beginning to buzz with activity now that Summer is coming to an end. I just wanted to give you a quick rundown of all the things that will be happening in the following months.

One of my favorite aspects of Catholicism is just how incarnational we are. The God we worship, is not only “up there” and we somehow need to escape the “down here” to get to him. Instead, we believe in a God who condescended, who came down, and became fully human. Thus God desires to not only engage us spiritually, but also bodily, through his incarnation. Thus in every Mass, there is this engagement of not only our spirits but our bodies as well: the music, the stained glass, the incense, the bells, the bows and kneeling, even the reception of the Eucharist on the tongue or hand.
