2 MAY 22, 2016 The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Under Construction Thank you to all of our Parishioners who have played a role in our transition this month. Your cooperation and assistance in making church happen for St. Vincent Martyr Parish has been remarkable. To stay in touch and up to the minute with our Parish, register for Flocknote or visit our website at Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up. Gal. 6:9 This Chair Is Hard Lord! A Prayer for times of Church Renovation O God, who through time-sacrificing stewards, wonderfully transform gyms into sacred spaces of spiritual exercise, look kindly upon your people, gathered to worship in this, our lower church. Accept our offering of discomfort lifted up to you from these metal chairs, our small share in your great sacrifice of love shown forth to us on the wood of the cross. May the inconveniences we must endure in these days of transition make us one with all who suffer discomfort as a way of life - those confined to the steel of a wheelchair, those sitting bedside on a hospital chair keeping vigil with a loved one who is sick, those who sit in refugee camps displaced from church and home forever. Lord, thank you for this chair and for the opportunity to sit in your Holy presence, waiting for the nourishment you give us in Word and Sacrament. Continue to cushion us with your love and make our hearts soft to receive your grace. Amen

3 RENOVATION UPDATE This past week we presented the financial plan for our church renovation to the Diocesan College of Consultors, the Diocesan Finance Council and the Diocesan Lawyer for their consideration. I am happy to announce that we have received unanimous approval from both the College and the Council and a nihil obstat from our lawyer. This gives us all of the necessary diocesan permissions we need to move forward with our plans up to a maximum of 5.6 million dollars. We are currently entering a second phase of fundraising for our project with a mind towards decreasing the amount of the loan we might need to take to cover the difference between what we receive in gifts (currently 4,985,886.55) and the final cost of the project, which is currently $5,275, I will share more with you on the finances in the near future. As you know we have placed our renovation under the protection and patronage of Saint Joseph, on whose feast day we had our ground breaking. His prayers for us are most certainly gaining many graces from the hand of our loving God! God bless.

PRAYER SUNDAY READINGS The Most Holy Trinity 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.

Religiosa Ms. Anne Marie Gisoldi, Dir. Jóvenes Mrs. Kathy Simonelli, Administradora Mrs. Diane Wallace, Secretaria Mrs. Patricia Caccavale, Recepcionista Mrs. Liz Vacchiano, Sec. Ed. Cristiana Mrs. Jody Costello, Sec. Jovenes x La colecta del Pasado 14 de Mayo fue de 197 dólares. Dios multiplique su generosidad. Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad Primera Lectura: Prov. 8, Segunda Lectura: Rom. 5, 1-5 Evangelio San Juan 16, San Agustín y El Niño: La Santísima Trinidad Dice la leyenda que una vez San Agustín paseaba por la orilla del mar, dándole vueltas en su cabeza a muchas de las doctrinas sobre la realidad de Dios, una de ellas la doctrina de la Trinidad. De repente, alza la vista y ve a un hermoso niño, que esta jugando en la arena, a la orilla del mar. Le observa mas de cerca y ve que el nino corre hacia el mar, llena el cubo de agua del mar, y vuelve donde estaba antes y vacia el agua en un hoyo. Así el niño lo hace una y otra vez. Hasta que ya San Agustin, sumido en gran curiosidad se acerca al nino y le pregunta: : "Oye, niño, que haces?." Y el niño le responde: " Estoy sacando todo el agua del mary la voy a poner en este hoyo ", Y San Agustin dice: "Pero, eso es imposible". Y el nino responde: " Mas imposible es tratar de hacer lo que tit estas haciendo: Tratar de comprender en tu mente pequeña el misterio de Dios"

9 Los Sacramentos Reconciliación (Confesiones): Todos los Sábados a las 4:00pm o haciendo una cita con uno de los sacerdotes, ya sea llamando a la oficina o hablando con ellos directamente o antes de la Misa en Español. Unción de los Enfermos: Para las personas que están gravemente enfermas, hospitalizadas o preparándose para una cirugía, al igual que las personas de edad avanzada un asilo para la tercera edad. Para administrar este Sacramento; Favor de llamar a la oficina de la parroquia para que uno de los sacerdotes administre la Unción de los enfermos. Cursillo Pre-Bautismal en español: Llamando a la oficina y planear una cita con el sacerdote. Amoris Laetitia El pasado 8 de Abril el Papa Francisco ha publicado una nueva exhortación apostólica llama: Amoris Laetitia en español la alegría del amor. Cada semana estaré publicando un poco acerca de esta exhortación apostólica. Gaudium et spes del Vaticano II, la Humanae vitae de Pablo VI, la Familiares consortio de Juan Pablo II. La mirada es amplia e incluye también las situaciones imperfectas. Leemos de hecho: El discernimiento de la presencia de las semina Verbi en otras culturas (cfr Ad gentes, 11) puede ser aplicado también a la realidad matrimonial y familiar. Fuera del verdadero matrimonio natural también hay elementos positivos presentes en las formas matrimoniales de otras tradiciones religiosas, aunque tampoco falten las sombras (AL 77). La reflexión incluye también a las familias heridas frente a las cuales el Papa afirma citando la Relatio finalis del Sínodo siempre es necesario recordar un principio general: Sepan los pastores que, por amor a la verdad, están obligados a discernir bien las situaciones (Familiares consortio, 84). El grado de responsabilidad no es igual en todos los casos, y puede haber factores que limitan la capacidad de decisión. Por lo tanto, al mismo tiempo que la doctrina debe expresarse con claridad, hay que evitar los juicios que no toman en cuenta la complejidad de las diversas situaciones, y hay que estar atentos al modo en que las personas viven y sufren a causa de su condición (AL 79). Capítulo tercero: La mirada puesta en Jesús: la vocación de la familia El tercer capítulo está dedicado a algunos elementos esenciales de la enseñanza de la Iglesia a cerca del matrimonio y la familia. La presencia de este capítulo es importante porque ilustra de manera sintética en 30 párrafos la vocación de la familia según el Evangelio, así como fue entendida por la Iglesia en el tiempo, sobre todo sobre el tema de la indisolubilidad, de la sacramentalidad del matrimonio, de la transmisión de la vida y de la educación de los hijos. Son ampliamente citadas la Misa Memorial (Memorial Mass) Por favor, acompáñenos a la misa memorial la cual será celebrada en el cementerio de nuestra parroquia a las 8:30 AM la cual está ubicado en Noah Ave. Si el clima es de lluvia, la misa será celebrada en el Auditorio del colegio. Oremos juntos por nuestros queridos difuntos.
