1 Holy Family 2400 South Franklin St. Decatur, IL Parish May 27, 2018 The Most Holy Trinity PARISH MISSION STATEMENT Led by the spirit and example of the Holy Family, our parish community embraces as its mission the salvation of all people. Rooted in the celebration of the Eucharist, we go forth to serve, to educate, and to live daily the message of Jesus Christ.

2 PARISHIONERS: This is Trinity Sunday. This is when we celebrate one of the deepest mysteries of our Catholic faith. The mystery is that God is One Nature, yet Three Persons. The mystery is that God is Creator, Redeemer, & Sanctifier. God is Creator. God loved us so much that we were created. We have the life-breath of our Creator in us, as it says in the 2nd chapter of Genesis. In God s image we have been created. God created the earth & everything in it. WOW! What an awesome Person of the Trinity. God is Redeemer. Jesus has saved us all. Our sins have been taken away. Wow! How fortunate we are to have such a Savior. We have been redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. Jesus is that God-made-Flesh who walked the Way of Calvary for our salvation. Jesus gave His life for our life! What an awesome Person of the Trinity. God is Sanctifier. The Holy Spirit sanctifies the world. WOW! The presence of God in the Holy Spirit makes the world holy. The Holy Spirit is the One who enlivens us & purifies us & blesses us as we daily live. What an awesome Person of the Trinity. Let us thank God for His beautiful mystery. May the Father-Creator, Son-Redeemer, Holy Spirit-Sanctifier come into our lives in a deeper way! YOUR PASTOR, FATHER JOE P.S. The Catholic Church & the Diocese of Springfield now has a FATHER ROB JOHNSON!!! He was ordained a priest on May 26th. How proud we are of him. May his priestly ministry be one that draws him closer to the Lord & to the People of God. P.P.S. Speaking of priestly ministry, this Monday, May 28th, will mark my 35th Anniversary of Ordination. I have been blessed in so many ways throughout my priesthood. God has touched me through countless people who have shared His love, support, encouragement, joy, & peace. I thank YOU all at HF for enriching my priesthood & for showing me the Persons of the Trinity so vividly. May God, who is One Nature, yet Three Persons, bless you in abundance.
