THE MOST HOLY TRINITY MONDAY 5/23 TUESDAY 5/24 WEDNESDAY 5/25 MAY 22, 2016 First Reading: Proverbs 8:22-31 God created Wisdom before he created the earth or the skies. This spirit stood beside God every day until the earth was complete, then "found delight in the people of the earth." This indicates that the spirit of wisdom was later personified by Jesus. Second Reading: Romans 5:1-5 Paul says that we are now at peace with God through our faith in Jesus. We also hope to see the glory of God. This hope will not leave us disappointed because of the love God has shown in sending us the Holy Spirit. Gospel: John 16:12-15 Jesus tells the disciples that when he leaves them, a Spirit will help guide them to the truth. This Spirit will announce what he hears from Jesus, rather than speaking on his own. Everything God has also belongs to Jesus, which is why those things announced by the Spirit will actually come from Jesus.

PARISH PICNIC HUGE SUCCESS Last Sunday s parish picnic was a fun time for the almost 200 parishioners who attended. By popular demand, the picnic, one of our 50th anniversary year events, will now become an annual event here at St. Aedan s Parish. Many thanks to the Naurushaun Swim Club for making their beautiful facility available to our parish. A special thanks to Kieran McCormack and the members of our parish 50th Anniversary Picnic Committee, Anthony Russo; Joe & Gina Vitiello; Brian Cory; Pat Daly; Tim and Mary Kate O Callahan; Maria Diblasi; Matt Luckie; Eddie and Beth Coyle; Stephanie Garvey; Marty Fogarty and all of our volunteer workers for their dedicated efforts in making our picnic so successful. We are also very grateful to the members of the Pearl River Ambulance Corps who provided an onsite ambulance and crew throughout the afternoon. The picnic, which ran from 1 6 p.m., featured music throughout the day and lots of food and soft drinks. The BBQ grill never stopped. The line-up of games included basketball, shuffleboard, water balloon toss, sack races, musical chairs and a number of other favorites. The face painter and balloon twister worked nonstop and the cotton candy operation proved to be a big hit with the young and not so young alike. We re hoping to feature a few picnic photos on our parish Web Site within the next few days so be sure to go on line and check it out. Our next 50th Anniversary event will be a fall concert. We ll have more on this after we confirm our date and program.

In a special way, we pause to remember and to pray for those who, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, gave their last full measure of devotion by dying in the line of duty this past year.
