FEAST OF THE HOLY TRINITY May 30, 2021

Lord, send your Spirit...

to make this Church an ever-holy place,

and this Altar a ready Table for the sacrifice of Christ.

Here may the waters of baptism overwhelm the shame of sin;

Here may your people die to sin and live again through grace

as your children.

Here may your children gathered around your Altar, celebrate the memorial of

the Paschal Lamb, and be fed at the table of Christ’s word

and Christ’s body.

Here may prayer, the Church’s banquet, resound through heaven and earth as a plea for the world’s salvation.

Here may the poor find justice, the victims of oppression, true freedom.

From Here may the whole world, clothed in the dignity of the children of God, enter with gladness your city of peace.

From the RITE OF DEDICATION of a Church and Altar.

My brothers and sisters in Christ,

An important, but often overlooked, ministry of the Church is the

Rite of Christian Burial. It can be difficult to think about the end of

our time on earth, but it is important to make those plans. Our

plans can serve as an act of loving service to our loved ones.

The Diocese of Helena is working with Catholic Funeral & Ceme-tery Services to enhance our ministry and services at this important time. Whether you plan to be laid to rest at a Diocesan or Parish Ceme-tery or at your local cemetery, your voluntary response to this online survey will help us better serve your needs and the families of the Diocese of Helena. In Christ, I am

Most Reverend Austin A. Vetter

Bishop of Helena

to take the voluntary survey.

Fr. Gary Reller was ordained on June 4, 1971 at St. Anthony’s Church by Bishop Raymond Hunthausen. In the past 50 years Fr. Reller has served as pastor of parishes in Kalispell, Butte, Polson and Missoula. He retired from his last parish assignment at St. Anthony’s in 2014. Fr. Reller will join that parish in celebrating their 100th anniversary on Sunday June 13 at the 11:00 am liturgy.

MISSOULA FOOD BANK Here at the Missoula Food Bank we have experienced a large increase in need in our Kids EmPower Pack program, and are therefore in need of

Instant Oatmeal packs and Granola Bars (Kirkland, Nature Valley, Quaker, Nutri Grain, etc.)

We are building about 1,400 EmPower packs every week, so the quantity of these items we need is just about endless.

Another need right now at the Missoula Food Bank is

Pop-Top, Hearty Soups (no need for a can opener).

These are so helpful for our kiddos but also those who visit our food bank who are currently unhoused.

THANK YOU! The collection baskets are at the church entrances.

All Are Welcome Thank you for participating in Whole Parish Faith Formation this year. As we are slowly reunited after a year of distancing and separation, of uncertainty and unprecedented times, we also remember that we are called to be one body—the Body of Christ in the world today. Let us continue to work to make this a reality, to listen carefully and discern the way the Spirit is leading us, going forth in courage to proclaim the mighty works of God to all people.

May you have a joyous summer with the opportunity to gather with those from whom you have been separated.

Come be the Body of Christ
