As Blessed Trinity continues its journey through Ordinary Time, this week’s updates invite us to reflect on Christ’s enduring call to follow Him with trust, generosity, and courage. Fr. Skip’s reflection reminds us that discipleship begins when we loosen our grip on what feels familiar and open our hearts to where God is leading. Our parish celebrates gratitude and community through shared fellowship, looks ahead with hope through a new Baptismal Ministry rooted in accompaniment, and gives thanks for the faithful stewardship that supports our mission. Together, we continue growing as a welcoming parish family, responding to Christ’s call in faith, service, and love.

He closes by inviting more parishioners to serve in this sacred ministry and to joyfully renew their baptismal commitment to discipleship.
