Sermon on the Mount – Bible Study

We invite you to join us for our 5th annual summer Bible
study that will begin on Wednesday, June 4th. This year, we
will study Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, Matthew chapters 5, 6
& 7. Saint Augustine once described the Sermon on the
Mount as "the perfect measure of the Christian life." In these
three Matthew chapters, Jesus teaches us how to live the best
life possible here on earth. He gives us a message of hope,
peace, joy, and love. This Bible study will focus on lifeapplication truths that we can apply to our daily lives. The
study will be hosted by Dave and Molly Kistner. We will meet
together on Wednesday evenings from June 4th to July 30th.
Classes will begin at 6:30pm and conclude at 8pm at the Holy
Trinity Parish Center. We realize summers are busy for people, so this study is set up so that it is okay if you need to miss
a night or two over the summer. All materials for the class will
be provided free of charge. We hope you can join us. 

Bishop Tylka State of the Mission Address

In this latest update, Bishop Louis Tylka discusses the state of our mission, reminding us that although we have many challenges ahead, through the Five Foundations we have much to be hopeful for as we embark on a renewed path forward to go out and proclaim the Gospel, making and growing disciples of Jesus Christ and becoming a more vibrant, mission-driven Church, alive with the Holy Spirit.

Traveling Tapestry and Traveling Crucifix

The Vocation Ministry needs your help to continue to build a culture of vocations in our parishes and our diocese. Consider taking the traveling tapestry at Historic St. Patrick’s or the traveling crucifix at Holy Trinity home for a week. The sign up is located at the St. Therese statue at St. Patrick’s and in the back of the church at Holy Trinity. The process is simple – sign up, take the tapestry or crucifix into your home for a week, pray during the week and return at the end of the week. You can pray the rosary, the chaplet of divine mercy, or any prayer of your choosing. Here is one possibility:

O Mary, St. Therese ever turned to you in love, telling you her desires in simplicity and trust, and begging you to speak of them to Jesus. With her, we ask you to offer our prayers to your Son for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life in our diocese. Place within the hearts of men and women a love which is strong enough to lead them to devote their lives to the service of the Church. Help them to respond to your Son’s call with a love that will spend itself in service to their brothers and sisters. St. Therese, Patroness of Vocation, Pray for us!
