2 MAY 27, 2018 I SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY We acknowledge the Trinity, holy and perfect, to consist of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In this Trinity there is no intrusion of any alien element or of anything from outside, nor is the Trinity a blend of creative and created being. It is a wholly creative and energizing reality, self-consistent and undivided in its active power, for the Father makes all things through the Word and in the Holy Spirit, and in this way the unity of the holy Trinity is preserved. Accordingly, in the Church, one God is preached, one God who is above all things and through all things and in all things. God is above all things as Father, for he is principle and source; he is through all things through the Word; and he is in all things in the Holy Spirit. 9:00 The Children s Liturgy of the Word 9:00 & 11:00 Babysitting is available in the Cathedral Center Grace Suite for children ages 6 months 3 years. For grace and the gift of the Trinity are given by the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit. Just as grace is given from the Father through the Son, so there could be no communication of the gift to us except in the Holy Spirit. But when we share in the Spirit, we possess the love of the Father, the grace of the Son and the fellowship of the Spirit himself. VOLUME 72 NUMBER 21 2

3 We, the Congregation of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church of the Diocese of Lafayette, acknowledge Jesus as Lord and find in His person and mission our truest identity. Obedient to the promptings of the Spirit, we acknowledge His life and ministry; His dying and rising as profound expressions of the Father s constant love for all people. We faithfully join Him as ministers in His kingdom. Our mission involves the total restoration of humanity and the salvation of the whole person. Our response to this mission finds expression in programs that promote healing and unity in every aspect of the human person. Like Jesus, we seek to express solidarity with the poor and the oppressed, striving all the while to remove from ourselves and Church structures whatever promotes inequality, injustice and oppression.

4 Witnessing Christ in Downtown Lafayette Father Chester Arceneaux, Rector of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, is pleased to announce that Mr. Chad Beraud has been hired as the new Director of Youth Ministry for Cathedral Parish effective June 1, Mr. Chad Beraud is a recent graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where his fiancé, Ms. Abigail Ramirez, and he were heavily involved in the Ragin Cajun Catholics of Our Lady of Wisdom and The Fellowship of Catholic University Students. Both have worked with the youth ministry programs at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Lafayette and St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Maurice. Commenting on Mr. Beraud s new position, Father Chester said, Last Fall we began a new process of evaluating, planning, and discerning the trajectory of ministry of our parish with an important Parish Summit organized by parishioners. One of the many fruits of that event was new vision for parish youth ministry that involved a real investment for the good of our young people. This discernment process has led to a new direction in parish youth ministry in which we have prayerfully discerned that Chad is the right leader for where God is taking us. Our children are not only our most precious gift from God, they are also a solemn responsibility as a Church. Our Lord desires that every young person knows Him, loves Him, and finds their purpose in life within a profound relationship with Him and the members of His Body, the Church. It is my duty as the Spiritual Father of the many souls entrusted to me to ensure that we do all we can as a Church to help young people encounter Christ and grow in love of Him within the life of a vibrant Church parish. I am happy to trust Chad with this important work as he implements our growing and exciting vision of youth ministry here at Cathedral. Mr. Beraud will also have a key role in the life of Cathedral-Carmel School. Brittany Primeaux is the Director of Religious Education for Cathedral Parish and liaison to Cathedral-Carmel School. She comments, We are incredibly thrilled to welcome Chad to our team of ministry at the Cathedral. His role within Confirmation is vital to our growing parish! We are also eager to have him involved within the life of Cathedral-Carmel school and forming relationships with the students and their families. The timing couldn t be more perfect! Upon his arrival on June 1, Mr. Beraud will join the team at Cathedral and plan a wonderful first fiscal year of the new vision of youth ministry. Please continue to follow this ministry and tell the young people in your life about this exciting news. saintjohncathedral.org
