Join us next Sunday, June 11th for our 8:00am Mass with Father James Buttner! Fr. James, who served as our deacon this past year while in the seminary, was just ordained a Priest this weekend for his home Diocese of Syracuse! Next weekend, we welcome him back to St. Patrick's for a special Mass of Thanksgiving on Corpus Christi Sunday! We will celebrate Father James's ordination with a reception in the foyer of the Church following the 8:00am Mass.
Holy Trinity Sunday honors the central mystery of our faith: that God is one in His divine nature while three in His divine persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a communion of love. The very words 'Father' and 'Son' imply a relationship with one another, and the 'Holy Spirit' is the bond of love they share. The Christian life sweeps us up into this relationship of love, which we manifest for one another through the manner of our lives. As we contemplate this mystery of who God is, may we strive to live each day in the way of the Trinity, in the way of love.
