3 May 27, 2018 MOST HOLY TRINITY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR FAITH Today is a day simply to ponder the fact that in baptism we were claimed by God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The first reading from Deuteronomy prompts us to fix in our hearts the truth that God is the Lord of both heaven and earth and there is no other god. Saint Paul reminds us that, because we received the Spirit of adoption in baptism, we are now children of God. In the Gospel Jesus charges us with the responsibility to make other disciples. These realities make today's solemnity a day of praise, adoration, and responsibility. It is a fitting day to thank God for the absolutely free gift of faith that we were given in baptism. It is also a day to ask God for strength to take on the responsibility of sharing that faith with others. MAY - MONTH OF MARY The month of May is dedicated to Our Blessed Lady. During this month Christians, both in church and in the privacy of the home, offer up to Mary from their hearts an especially fervent and loving homage of prayer and veneration. In this month, too, the benefits of God's mercy come down to us from her throne in greater abundance (Pope Bl. Paul VI). During month of May we pray rosary before Sunday Masses. Join us.

The objective of Renew My Church is to create vital, vibrant, life-giving, Catholic communities across the Archdiocese of Chicago and inspire disciples to accompany all members of our family of faith to seize this moment to make the mission of Christ our own for our time. We had many meeting, where various potential structures were discussed. Cardinal Cupich will make the final determination after evaluating all inputs. Please, pray for the success of Renew My Church process.

Not only has Big Shoulder Fund promised to stand by us one more year, but also, they are continuing to support our families with their scholarships.
