Raphael Amato offers the reflection for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, sharing:
“I believe that we need to respond to Jesus’ call in humility; to let go the notion of holding the “truth” but rather discover the truth as we enter into relationship with each other. That in fact, both need conversion; those announcing the gospel and those who receive the gospel. We move away from seeing our faith as the need to dominate and move to embrace the true power of love; we are able to be honest and see the tensions and contradictions that arise we review how we lived out our call to this mission.”
You are invited to view Raphael’s full reflection below, to read the text here ( Raphael-Amato-Reflection-May30 ) or to hear it during our Sunday Liturgy of the Word service.

News from the Care for Creation Office
For a number of years, the Archdiocese has had a Care for Creation office signifying the importance of Laudato Si’. As we focus on being a missionary Church and unpack what this means to our parishes, we will also look at Laudato Si’ and see how it fits. The Archdiocese has been fortunate to have Dr. John Dorner coordinating the Caring for Creation office’s efforts. Through John’s networking and support, we know of various encouraging initiatives in parishes such as Laudato Si’ Action Groups. Some serve to increase awareness and understanding. Others focus on concrete action. Unfortunately, his work has been interrupted by medical concerns. Please keep John in your prayers. Mireille Church has agreed to fill in during his absence. For those who do not yet know Mireille, she has a deep love for the Church, her family and for nature and will be reaching out soon to parish communities.

Vocation Reflection: “Sent Out on Mission”
By Richard Beaudette OMI – Vocation Team
“Jesus then sends the disciples out to make disciples, to teach what he had taught them. The mission is handed on to the group of disciples – the church. It is a shared mission, and each individual could count on the care and support of the others in fulfilling the mission. Again, community is the key to living out the mission entrusted to the disciples.”
