Este mes de julio, varios de los jóvenes de "high school" de Blessed Trinity tendrán la oportunidad de asistir al Campamento Católico de Verano Life Teen, en las montañas de Georgia. Durante esta experiencia de una semana, podrán encontrarse más profundamente con Jesucristo por medio de la celebración de la Santa Eucaristía, el Sacramento de la Reconciliación, inspiradoras conferencias, la oración, la música, la convivencia y la belleza de la creación de Dios. Para muchos de ellos, esta será una experiencia que transformará sus vidas, fortalecerá su fe católica, profundizará su compromiso con Cristo y los preparará para convertirse en futuros líderes de nuestra comunidad parroquial.

This July, several of our Blessed Trinity high school teens have the opportunity to attend the annual Life Teen Catholic Summer Camp in the mountains of Georgia. During this week-long experience, they will encounter Jesus Christ in a deeper way through the celebration of the Eucharist, Reconciliation, inspiring speakers, prayer, music, fellowship, and the beauty of God's creation. For many of our teens, this will be a life-changing experience—one that strengthens their Catholic faith, deepens their commitment to Christ, and prepares them to become future leaders in our parish community.

On this 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel of Matthew (13:44-46) invites us to reflect on the incomparable worth of God's Kingdom. Like the man who discovers treasure hidden in a field, or the merchant who finds the perfect pearl, we are called to recognize that nothing in this world surpasses the gift of faith. Christ asks us to reorder our priorities, releasing whatever holds us back, so that we might embrace the Kingdom with wholehearted joy and abandon.

Como familia de Blessed Trinity, somos testigos de esta obra todos los días. Cada ministerio, cada familia, cada voluntario, cada niño que aprende la fe y cada persona que cruza las puertas de nuestra parroquia forma parte del trabajo amoroso de Dios. Aunque no siempre veamos los resultados de inmediato, el Señor sigue cultivando el campo que le pertenece.

As members of the Blessed Trinity family, we are blessed to witness this every day. Every ministry, every family, every volunteer, every child learning the faith, and every person who walks through our church doors is part of God's loving work.

On this 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel of Matthew (13:24-43) presents Jesus' parables of the wheat and weeds, the mustard seed, and the yeast — revealing that God's Kingdom grows quietly, patiently, and according to His perfect plan. Deacon Kelvin's reflection invites us to stop focusing on the weeds around us and begin nurturing the wheat God is growing within us. As Pope Leo XIV reminds us in Magnifica Humanitas, every person reflects the image of God. We are called to trust His timing, cooperate with His grace, and become living signs of His mercy.

This 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Parable of the Sower invites Blessed Trinity to ask a searching question: what kind of soil are we? Jesus scatters His Word with extravagant generosity — on every heart, across every boundary. Isaiah reminds us that God's Word never returns empty; it brings renewal, restoration, and salvation. The harvest Jesus describes — thirty, sixty, a hundredfold — remains possible today. As a parish family, we are called to tend the soil of our hearts, root out distraction and complacency, and let God's Word bear fruit through discipleship, service, and mission.

This 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel of Matthew 11:25-30 anchors our hearts in one of Scripture's most consoling invitations: 'Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.' Jesus reveals the Father not to the powerful but to the humble and childlike, and promises that His yoke unites us to Himself — we never carry our burdens alone. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, we give thanks that true freedom is found not merely in political liberty but in belonging to Christ, who frees us from sin and teaches us to love God and neighbor with generous hearts.

This 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel of Matthew calls us to radical trust: 'Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.' Jesus sends His disciples — and us — out without fear, assured that God's Providence watches over every sparrow and every soul. Father Skip reminds us that Blessed Trinity is not merely a place we attend but a family and a mission. As we mark Wednesday's special moment — Fr. Skip's 59th Profession of Vows — we are invited to pray, discern, and take one courageous step deeper into discipleship. The Lord who calls us is faithful, and He never sends us alone.

As Blessed Trinity celebrates the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Skip reminds us that God continually gathers His people, forms them through grace, and sends them into the world as missionary disciples. Drawing from the covenant established at Sinai and Christ's commissioning of the Twelve Apostles, this week's message calls parishioners to move beyond simply belonging to the Church and embrace active participation in Christ's mission. The parish celebrates another successful Vacation Bible School, announces important stewardship updates, and introduces new initiatives aimed at strengthening parish life and community safety. Together, Blessed Trinity continues growing as a vibrant parish family called to witness Christ's compassion and mercy.

he Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) This weekend Blessed Trinity celebrates the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, honoring the profound gift of Christ's true presence in the Eucharist. Fr. Skip reminds us that the Eucharist is not merely a symbol but Christ Himself—His Body and Blood given for the life of the world. Through Holy Communion, God nourishes, heals, and gradually transforms us into His likeness. As Eucharistic disciples, we are called not only to receive Christ but to become His presence for others through service, unity, and mission.

Pentecost Sunday invites Blessed Trinity Parish into a renewed awareness of the Holy Spirit alive within the Church and within every baptized believer. In his Pentecost reflection, Father Skip reminds us that the Spirit is not reserved for a few but is poured out upon all, breathing new life into the People of God and sending us forth in mission. This week’s bulletin reflects that same spirit of renewal through parish ministries, sacramental preparation, youth activities, vocational encouragement, and opportunities for prayer and service.

The bulletin also features updates on VBS 2026 preparations, adult faith formation opportunities, Rock & Roll Bingo, and ongoing sanctuary renovation efforts centered on a new tabernacle for our church.
