Originally ministering to the newlyarrived Irish, our parish family has grown over its long history, continuing to welcome new brothers and sisters in Christ, most recently those of Hispanic and Vietnamese heritage. We are striving to build a more united community of believers while incorporating the individual ethnic traditions of our entire parish family. While we recognize our diversity we also recognize our oneness in the Lord, our unity in faith. Through our celebration of the Eucharist, in spiritual, educational and cultural opportunities, and through the service organizations of the parish, we attempt to live out the Gospel message and to be an example of Christ's presence in our community. Saint John the Baptist Parish Mission Statement We celebrate the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ centered in the Eucharist, Sacraments and prayer. We teach the Gospel in order to strengthen the faith of each individual in their knowledge of and in their relationship with God. We live the Gospel by loving each other, granting forgiveness, and doing works of service and charity. Readings for today's Mass begin on page 172 of the Breaking Bread Missal 2018. Proper parts of the Mass begin on page 3.

THE MOST HOLY TRINITY MAY 27, 2018 Lễ Chúa Ba Ngôi Hôm nay là Chúa Nhật mừng kính Chúa Ba Ngôi. Ðây là một trong ba mầu nhiệm cao cả thuộc đức tin: là mầu nhiệm Một Chúa Ba Ngôi, mầu nhiệm Ngôi Hai làm người và mầu nhiệm Ngôi Hai cứu chuộc. Chúa Ba Ngôi thương yêu loài người, muốn cứu rỗi mọi người, nên bào chúng ta nhân danh Chúa làm Phép Rửa cho muôn dân, để họ được hưởng nhờ ơn cứu rỗi. Chúng ta hiệp dâng Thánh Lễ, hân hoan mừng kính Một Chúa Ba Ngôi. Xin cho chúng ta hết lòng tin kính thờ phượng, và nhiệt tâm đem Chúa Ba Ngôi đến cho mọi người. Phúc Âm: Mt 28, 1620 "Làm phép rửa cho họ, nhân danh Cha và Con và Thánh Thần". Bài kết thúc Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Matthêu. Khi ấy, mười một môn đệ đi về Galilêa, đến núi Chúa Giêsu chỉ trước. Khi thấy Người, các ông thờ lạy Người, nhưng có ít kẻ còn hoài nghi. Chúa Giêsu tiến lại nói với các ông rằng: "Mọi quyền năng trên trời dưới đất đã được ban cho Thầy. Vậy các con hãy đi giảng dạy muôn dân, làm phép rửa cho họ nhân danh Cha, và Con, và Thánh Thần; giảng dạy họ tuân giữ mọi điều Thầy đã truyền cho các con. Và đây Thầy ở cùng các con mọi ngày cho đến tận thế". Ðó là lời Chúa. Suy Niệm: Thiên Chúa là tình yêu. Ba Ngôi Thiên Chúa yêu thương nhau, hiệp nhất trong một Thiên Chúa. Mầu nhiệm Thiên Chúa Ba Ngôi là một mầu nhiệm của tình yêu và đã được Ðức Giêsu mạc khải. Tình yêu Thiên Chúa Ba Ngôi được thể hiện trong chương trình cứu độ: Chúa Cha ban sáng kiến Chúa Con thực hiện và Chúa Thánh thần chuyển thông ơn cứu độ. Ðón nhận được tình yêu của Thiên Chúa Ba Ngôi, chúng ta sẽ sống với tất cả tâm tình người con thảo hiếu. Lòng tin và yêu mến ấy phải thể hiện bằng đời sống cầu nguyện, kết hiệp với Ðức Giêsu và trong sự hướng dẫn của Chúa Thánh Thần. Cầu Nguyện: Lạy Chúa Ba Ngôi, chúng con tin Chúa toàn năng và đầy tình yêu thương. Khi suy ngắm mầu nhiệm, chúng con càng cảm nghiệm hơn về tình yêu Chúa dành cho loài người chúng con. Xin cho chúng con luôn trung thành tin yêu phụng thờ Chúa. Xin cho gia đình, giáo xứ chúng con cũng biết sống yêu thương hiệp nhất với nhau trong tình yêu của Chúa. Chính lúc chúng con sống yêu thương là chúng con sống mầu nhiệm Chúa Ba Ngôi. Amen. Ðáp Ca: Phúc thay dân tộc mà Chúa chọn làm cơ nghiệp riêng mình (c. 12b). Alleluia: Alleluia, alleluia! Sáng danh Ðức Chúa Cha, và Ðức Chúa Con, và Ðức Chúa Thánh Thần; sáng danh Thiên Chúa, Ðấng đang có, đã có và sẽ đến. Alleluia. The Saint Vincent de Paul Society is very grateful to those who contribute to our boxes in the vestibules of both churches, and for the memorial gifts we receive. As an all volunteer lay group, we are able to use 99% of these funds to help neighbors who need to catch up with rent and utilities, especially after this tough winter. On the second Saturday of each month, the Parish Center serves as a distribution site for free diapers from the Haverhill chapter of the Anchor of Hope. Because we get more requests than Anchor of Hope can provide, we supplement with diapers contributed by parishioners. Sizes 5 and 6, pullups for toddlers and diaper wipes are most needed. A clean, dry baby is (usually) a happy baby! Our free clothing center in the Parish Center (off the Cottage Street parking lot) is open every Saturday from 9:30 to 11:30am. We accept all donations, but are particularly needing men s clothing and infant s and children s summer clothing. Thank you for suppor t- ing the Saint Vincent de Paul Society!
