Usher Training is scheduled for tomorrow night (Tuesday, June 16th) at 6pm! All who are interesting in ushering here at Holy Trinity are welcome to join.

All current Ushers are invited to join for this training as well, since the training session tomorrow will begin with instruction on how to use our new AED, and possibly a few short updates that may not have been addressed in the fall training sessions.

Please arrive early, as training should begin promptly at 6pm.

Thank you to everyone who has RSVP'd so far! If you have not yet done so, feel free to contact the office to let us know if you are able to be there tomorrow.

God bless, and we look forward to seeing you there!

From the Pastor’s Desk:

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In this Sunday's Gospel (Matthew 9:36–10:8), Jesus looks upon the crowds with compassion, because they are "troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd." The heart of Christ is filled with mercy for those who are lost, hurting, lonely, or searching for meaning. His compassion is not merely a feeling; it moves Him to act. He sends His disciples to bring healing, hope, and the Good News of God's Kingdom.

This Gospel speaks directly to our parish community. A parish is not simply a place where we come to worship on Sundays. It is a family of faith called to continue the mission of Jesus. There are many people around us who need encouragement, friendship, prayer, and a welcoming community. Some are carrying heavy burdens. Others have drifted away from the practice of their faith. Christ invites us to see them with His eyes and love them with His heart.

The Lord reminds us that "the harvest is abundant but the laborers are few." Our parish can flourish only when its members actively participate in its mission. Whether serving in a ministry, teaching the faith, visiting the sick, welcoming newcomers, supporting parish events, or simply offering a helping hand, each person has a role in building up the Body of Christ.

Jesus sent His disciples with the instruction: "Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give." We have freely received God's grace, mercy, and countless blessings. In gratitude, we are called to share our time, talents, and treasures for the good of the parish and the growth of God's Kingdom.

Let us pray that our parish may be known as a community of compassion, hospitality, and service. May each of us hear the Lord's call and respond generously, becoming joyful laborers in His abundant harvest.

God bless you and remain Blessed!!

─ Fr. Shoby Mathew

This weekend, there is a special collection for the Catholic Communication Campaign, which includes support for the USCCB website (with Daily Readings, and so much more), as well as local communication efforts within our diocese.

There is an insert in the bulletin this weekend with more information on this campaign, as well as a prayer card. To support the Catholic Communication Campaign, go to usccb.org/ccc and click on "How to Give."

"Communication is not only the transmission of information, but it is also the creation of a culture, of human and digital environments that become spaces for dialogue and discussion. In looking at how technology is developing, this mission becomes ever more necessary."
─ Pope Leo XIV, Address to the Representatives of the Media, May 12, 2025

Happy Open Word Wednesday!

"Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person,
though perhaps for a good person
one might even find courage to die.
But God proves his love for us
in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us."

─ Romans 5:7-8

"At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them
because they were troubled and abandoned,
like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples,
'The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest
to send out laborers for his harvest.'"

─ Matthew 9:36-38

"Therefore, if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant,
you shall be my special possession,
dearer to me than all other people,
though all the earth is mine.
You shall be to me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.'"

─ Exodus 19:5-6
