Even if you can only help one or two days please volunteer to help. The success of this parish program depends on you. If you would like to volunteer, please call Erin at From the Desk of Father Pauselli Congratulations to Shawn McArdle and Jillian Castaldi who will celebrate the sacrament of marriage at Divine Mercy on Saturday, May 28. May the Lord bless Shawn and Jillian with many happy years together as husband and wife. Congratulations to Leland Joseph Kearney who will be baptized this week at Divine Mercy. Leland Joseph is the son of Drew and Colleen Price Kearney and was born on October 1, May the Lord bless Leland Joseph and his family on this most special occasion. Today s liturgical title is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, one of the universal Church s most awe-inspiring doctrines. Our communities are not local franchises of some international corporation. We are family, brothers and sisters baptized not in the name of a doctrine, but in the name of a community of Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Pope Francis said recently that faith is personal, not a theoretical idea. Our God is indeed almighty and everlasting, but also intimate and personal, a community of Persons, personally encountering us. Thank you for supporting the Catholic Communication Campaign last weekend. Your gift of $1, will help the Church to promote the Gospel through the many avenues of communication available in our time and hopefully lead others faith. Have a great week!
