The Most Holy Trinity
June 11, 2017
Today’s Solemnity commemorates the central dogma of Christianity: the Trinity. One
of the greatest gifts of the Christian faith is the dogma of the
triune God: God is three (tri) in one (une). The Christian
God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit is relational. How amaz-
ing and wonderfully mysterious at the same time!
Today we gather in praise and glory of God, who comes to
us in so many ways as Father, Creator, Son, Redeemer, Holy
Spirit, and Sanctifier. Today’s Feast is a perfect opportunity
to ask HOW are we like the triune God – Father, Son and
Holy Spirit in whose image and likeness we have been fash-
ioned and WHAT do we do to reflect that image and like-
ness?
Ordinary Time
Filled with the Holy Spirit, we go forward to the counted weeks in
Ordinary Time in summer and fall. The Sundays of this time begin
with the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and the Solemnity of
the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ reminding us of the core of
our faith in God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – a communion of
divine Persons and the source of our life together, the Body and
Blood of Christ.
The lengthy period of the counted weeks in Ordinary Time offers us
an opportunity to step back and reflect on the meaning of our faith
as a whole. Unlike the major seasons and feasts of the year, Ordi-
nary Time allows us to ponder the mystery of faith in its entirety
every time we gather to celebrate the Mass. The Church remembers
the witness of many saints during this time, allowing us today to see
how our faith journeys intertwine with theirs. In case Ordinary
Time becomes tedious and uninteresting after the intensity of the
high liturgical seasons, we ought to let the question of how we are
to live as disciples here and now resonate with us as we discern daily
how to follow Christ in the interim time before he comes in glory.

Thank You
Enjoy your summer time activities and as Tim McGraw sings in “humble and kind,” -
hold the door, don’t steal, don’t cheat, go to church, say ‘please and thank you,’ and don’t
take for granted the love this life gives you.” Have a great summer everyone!
Thanks for your financial support and generosity! Blessings!
Fr. John

Jesus: the Living Bread, understanding love
The meaning of this Eucharist is understand-
ing love. Christ understood. He understood
that we have a terrible hunger for God. He un-
derstood that we have been created to be loved,
and so He made Himself a Bread of Life and He said, “Unless
you eat My flesh and drink My blood, you cannot live, you
cannot love, you cannot serve.” You must eat this Bread and
the goodness of the love of Christ to share His understanding
love.
He also wants to give us the chance to put our love for
Him in a living action. He makes Himself the hungry one, not
only for bread, but for love. He makes himself the naked
one, not only for a piece of cloth but for that understanding
love, that dignity, human dignity. He makes Himself the
homeless one, not only for the piece of a small room, but for
that deep sincere love for the other, and this is the Eucharist.
This is Jesus, the Living Bread that He has come to break with
you and me.

Bible Study & Faith Sharing
Matthew shows us how Jesus is the culmination of the Old
Testament. We can more clearly understand our place in
salvation history; Join us in the chapel on Tuesday morning
from 11:00am - 12:00pm. Our goal is to make the gospel
come to life within our lives. Just bring your Bible and an
open heart and join us.
Evening Bible Study is taking some time off and will not
meet again until September. Watch the bulletin for the
date of the first session.
Family Perspective
God the Father so loved the world that he gave his
only Son that we might believe and have eternal life.
The Christian family is a church of the home that is an
icon of the Trinity. Mothers, fathers and grandparents
can model love and virtue in such a way that all fami-
ly members see the ways of God and can imitate
them. Seeing is believing.
12 Step Spirituality meets in the chapel on Thursday from
2:30pm until 4:00pm. This week our focus will be on Step 6.
We also continue to explore Seeds of Grace as we seek to
deepen the spiritual leg of our program. This program is
open to all 12 Steppers.
12 Step Spirituality
Quiet Prayer
Will meet on Tuesday at 12:20pm in the chapel. Lectio
Divina will be followed by quiet prayer. We finish at
1:00pm. If you feel called to prayer without words, we
invite you to join us. As we pray in the quiet, we find our-
selves called to a deeper relationship with God, gaining
strength from those who pray with us.
In Your Charity
In your charity, please remember the
repose of the souls of Giovanni Oravec
and Arlene Smith.
May they rest in eternal peace.
Music Ministry and Liturgy Notes By Angela Kovacs
Director of Music and Liturgy
ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY
What a way to start the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, but with a celebratory feast day about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! I
never consider Ordinary Time to be ‘ordinary.’ Just because we don’t have a specific focus for our prayer (e.g. waiting for Jesus
birth or preparing our hearts for His greatest sacrifice) doesn’t mean that it’s a break time from religion! Ordinary Time is kind of
like a personalized internship; you create your own goals and expectations to work on your faith, and God is the world’s greatest
and most patient proctor! This week let us try to focus on the mystery of the Trinity, the Three-In-One that has shaped our world to
the beautiful home that it is!
Choir Rehearsal Schedules: Traditional Choir and Contemporary ensemble meets to rehearse on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm.
Youth Choir also rehearses on Tuesdays at 6.pm. If you are interested in participating in any of these choirs, cantoring, or playing
an instrument during mass, please call or see me after mass up in the loft. Call the music ministry office for more infor-
mation: 440.243.3877 ext 27.

50th Wedding Anniversary
On May 13th of this year the Catholic Church celebrated
the 100 year Anniversary of Mary’s first apparition near
Fatima, Portugal. Mary asked that peo-
ple pray the rosary daily for peace and
salvation of souls.
Our Parish has a Pilgrim Virgin statue of
Our Lady of Fatima, which travels
around to homes in our parish. You can
sign up to have the statue in your home
for a week. A sign-up sheet will be in
the chapel, along with the statue the
week of June 11th—18th.

PSR Catechists/Aides needed!
Is God calling you? Are you trying to find someplace where you can help? How about sharing your faith with the youth of our Parish? If you are 17 or older, a confirmed practicing Catholic and, if applicable, in a marriage recognized by the Church, contact Larry Roetzer at the Religious Education Office (440-243-8221).
St. Mary PSR program is in need of Catechists (Teachers) for both our Sunday “Littles” (Pre-K & KNDG) program & Monday evening classes (grades 1 – 8).
If you’re a High School Student looking for service hours . . . we could use your help!!! Call us today!!! Classes begin August 28, 2017.
Top Reasons why We hesitate being a Catechist
Maybe being a catechist is something you feel God is calling you to, but you’ve got some reservations. Joe Paprocki, a former Director of
Religious Education and current 8th grade catechist came up with some reasons why he thinks that people hesitate to volunteer to be a
catechist which he has published. Over the next few weeks I’ll be reprinting some of these reasons with responses from current Cate-
chists. I hope this helps you. If you want to ask some more questions about volunteering as a catechist, please call the Religious Education
Office. Hope to hear from you soon!
“I’m hesitant to become a catechist because…” “…I don’t know if I can handle a group of kids. I don’t know if kids will like me.” Everyone is nervous going into a classroom on their first day of teach-ing (Some of us were nervous for our first several weeks of teach-ing). The good news is that the children already know how to behave in a classroom from being at school. They know what acceptable be-havior is and what it is not. The bad news is that they will sometimes act up. Children thrive when there are clear expectations for their behavior and clear consequences for when they step out of line. If you are friendly, fair, and firm with your students, classroom discipline comes easier. And people of all ages like others who are friendly, fair, and firm. “…I don’t know if I’ll be able to answer kids’ questions.” Our textbooks are very easy to use and the answers to most questions you will be asked will come from the text. However, sometimes, kids come up with really excellent questions that are not all that easy to answer. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out and tell you next time we meet.” Then, after class, you can just walk down to the Religious Ed Office and ask us for the an-swer.
