GREETINGS FROM FR . DAVE
Onward we go. Geepers, our school is quiet! Summer maintenance and cleaning is underway, scheduled around all sorts of tutoring, band camp, Saturday Academy, and sports events. I wish to extend a big thanks to all who teach and serve in our school here and elsewhere. Your efforts on behalf our young folks is much needed and much appreciated. Thank you! Our sign on Walker Road had this message last Monday:
“Dear Parents: TAG you’re it! Love, Teachers.”
Indeed!
Each summer, we get a notice requesting names of any of our college students attending schools with Catholic Newman Centers. Volunteers from the centers will reach out and invite students to participate. Please see the Youth Ministry page on our website (h-t.org/youth-ministry) for more information (scroll to the bottom of the page), or call the office for assistance.
We introduced James Ladd last weekend at all Masses, and Brett told you that he is your “go-to” person for (1) difficult theological questions, (2) any relationship or personal problems, and (3) all complaints about the pastor. James is a seminarian at Mt. Angel, from our parish, here for 8 weeks this summer getting a feel for parish life. Feel free to call our office if you want to connect for him on anything other than (3) above! I want him to meet as many of you as possible, so please reach out!
Here’s a follow up poem to my message last week about discovering God in unexpected places. These words describe well the reality that God is present to us in the midst of every moment of our lives:
There was more to every moment of this day
that I missed, busy as I was
waiting for some great surprise, some dramatic moment.
If I will take the time to scratch the surface of my day,
you will be there, even as you are now,
in the final moments of this day, in the quiet of this night.
Speak. I will be listening.
Blessings to Sloan Bergseng, Cole Erickson, Connor McBride, Hanna Moody, Joseph Morrelli, and Kendall Washington, who were baptized this weekend!
Congratulations to Alexandria Rosenast and Kurt Schweitzer, who were married this weekend on June 23rd. Blessings to you!
Congratulations and blessings to Jamie and Molly Reznick, on the Convalidation of their marriage this weekend on June 23rd!

T HIS W EEK AT H OLY T RINITY
Hello, everyone! Happy Summer! Officially! Basketball is finished, football is still a couple of months away, we can only hope that the World Cup is over (Ha! Sorry, soccer fans!); it’s baseball season! In honor of America’s favorite pastime, here are a few interesting facts, courtesy of The Little Book of Answers.
Why is the Cleveland baseball team called the Indians? Controversy generally surrounds the choice of Native American names for sports teams, but not in Cleveland. That city’s baseball team is named in honor of one of their star players from the 1890s. He was Alex Sophalexis, a Penobscot Indian so respected that in 1914, one year after his death, Cleveland took the name “Indians” to commemorate Alex and what he meant to their team.
Why is the L.A. team called the Dodgers? Before moving to L.A., the Dodgers were based in Brooklyn,
NY. The team had originated in the nineteenth century when, because of the dangers of horse-drawn trolleys and carriages, the pedestrians of Brooklyn called themselves “trolley dodgers.” Because most of their working-class fans had to dodge traffic on their walk to the games, the Brooklyn baseball team named themselves the “Dodgers” in their honor.
Why does the letter ‘K’ signify a strikeout on a baseball score sheet? Early in baseball history, a man
named Henry Chadwick designed the system we still use for keeping score. Because his system already had an overabundance of S’s scattered throughout his score sheet — safe, slide, shortstop, sacrifice, second base, etc. — he decided to use the last letter of struck, as in, “he struck out,” rather than the first.
Why does the home team wear white while the visitors wear darker colors? Early television was in
black and white, and definition wasn’t nearly as good as it is today. When the Canadian Broadcasting Company was testing for live hockey broadcasts in 1952, they found that if both teams wore their traditional colors, it was impossible to tell them apart. They solved the problem by having the home team wear white, while the visitors stayed in their darker uniforms.

RCIA (R ITE OF C HRISTIAN I NITIATION FOR ADULTS) Erin Nieves — [email protected]
Are you Catholic? Do you want to be? Were you Baptized, but never made any of your sacraments? Did you miss being Confirmed? Are you back at church after being away for awhile?
There are many reasons that people attend RCIA. It’s for those wanting to be Catholic, but it is also for people who have been away from the church to remember what it is to be a Catholic. Sometimes people are baptized but not raised in the faith, so are ready to learn about the faith to make it their own. Whatever your reason, RCIA is here for you!
RCIA will begin again in the fall, on Tuesday, September 25th. As we get closer, we will have more information here in the bulletin. In the meantime, if you are thinking that this is the year for you to do something about your faith, send me an email or give me a call. I am delighted to answer your questions and speak with you about the process. Use your summer to think about it!
How to read the Bible like a novel
If you ever tried to read the Bible cover to cover, you find it doesn’t read that way. One can get through Genesis and Exodus pretty well, but that’s when things start falling apart. Did you know that if you want to read the story of salvation history like a novel or story, you have to read the 14 Narrative Books?
What are they, you ask? These are the books of the Bible that trace the story of God’s plan for our salvation, beginning with Creation and finishing with Jesus and the early Church.
Now, reading this way will skip things, so this is only a starting point, but an amazing starting point it is! For summer, consider reading the story of salvation as your summer novel.
The 14 Narrative Books
Genesis (Early World & Patriarchs)
Exodus (Egypt and Exodus)
Numbers (Desert Wanderings)
Joshua (Conquest & Judges)
Judges (Conquest & Judges)
1 Samuel (Royal Kingdom)

NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED
I often mention how critical volunteers are to the success of our ministries. This is especially true at the Food Closet. Being open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, as well as receiving the order from the Oregon Food Bank on Thursday requires a dedicated group of about 65 people. These are mainly parishioners who each spend 3-4 hours every week donating their time in care of others. Along the way they get to meet people with various backgrounds and often develop friendships with clients and fellow volunteers. Each brings their own set of talents and skills and, as part of the team, enables Holy Trinity to serve over 110 families each week with much needed food. Friendship, camaraderie and smiles abound.
Sound enticing? If you can be on your feet for several
hours at a time, can lift 15 pounds, and are regularly available on either Tuesday or Friday between 9:30am and 1:00pm, I would love to talk with you! I could use two or three people on both days. Please email or call me at the contact information listed above. I promise you it will be an experience like no other and the benefits are HEAVENLY!
School’s out and for many the summer months are filled with trips, camps, parties, and just general fun. For many who come to see us, it can be a time of increased stress. During school, for those who qualify, free breakfast and/or lunch is provided to students each day of the school week (these are the families that normally receive a food backpack to take home for the weekend). Most of these kids ride the bus and do not have to worry about if a meal will be available. During the summer, many of the schools, as well as various non-school locations, offer free hot lunches. Lots of kids attend these programs, but for those who live too far to walk they often go without. That usually means we see increased need here at the Food Closet.
So how can you help? Donate foods like cereal (all kinds), cup-of-soup, heat ‘n serve ravioli or mac ‘n cheese. Anything that can easily be prepared by kids of various ages is appreciated. No need to make a special trip, just pick some up the next time you go grocery shopping and then place it in the large bins located in the hall between the church and the school when you come to Mass. Volunteers (there they are again) will pick it up on Tuesday and get it to the Food Closet for distribution. Thanks in advance for helping keep the kids fed during the summer, and all the support you provide throughout the year! We could not do this without you.

Last year, Holy Trinity and St Andrew’s Lutheran Church participated in a series of Ecumenical dialogue sessions, “Meet
Your Relatives”, culminating in a joint commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation in October. Last year’s session was based on the international document, From Conflict to Communion. This year, Holy Trinity and St Andrew’s will continue the dialogue using the American document, Declaration on the Way. We will have a series of announcements in the bulletin leading up to those shared discussion groups, “Meet Your Relatives (part 2)” in October of this year, based on Declaration on the Way.
