THE KINGDOM YET TO COME
Revelation is the first “ongoing” study in The Great
Adventure Bible Study Program. In this intriguing look at one of the most talked‐about books in Scripture, Jeff Cavins explores Revelation to demonstrate how the kingdom established by Christ in His Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of heaven, especially through the celebration of the Mass. You will learn what all the mysterious figures and images of Revelation present, as well as what will happen during the Second Coming of Christ, what has already happened, and what is happening now in salvation history. Join us for Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come at Holy
Trinity in Robinson Twp beginning the first Monday
of Advent at 6:30 pm and continuing every Monday
through Advent, then picking up again on the Mondays throughout Lent. For more information or to register for the study, call Dave at 412-855-0960 or via email: [email protected]. POOR BOX DONATIONS

at Holy Trinity Catholic School Students in Fourth Grade were given the Marsh‐
mallow Challenge. This STEM (Science, Technol‐
ogy, Engineering and Math) project is a fun and instructive design exercise that encourages stu‐
dents to experience simple but profound lessons in collaboration, innovation and creativity. The task is simple: In eighteen minutes, teams must build the tallest freestanding structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow needs to be on top. The students enjoyed employing various creative approaches to complete their task. Page 4

CHURCH RENOVATIONS
•
Just a reminder that, even though you are coming
to what looks like a gym, you are entering sacred
space. The Blessed Sacrament is present, therefore, we should be respectful of our Eucharistic
Lord and keep our chit chat to a bare minimum,
offering prayers in preparation for Holy Mass.
Thank you for working with us and making adjustments through this change. We can do this if
we all work together.
•
Thanks to all the dedicated volunteers who have
been helping with the set up and take down of
our worship space. We continue to need dedicated volunteers to help in this effort. Please see
the sign-up sheets in the foyer at the main entrance to Fr. Herrmann Hall to sign up and offer
your help and support. Setup is on Saturday at
2:00 PM. Half of the chairs are taken down on
Sunday evening at 8:00 PM. The rest of the take
down occurs on Monday morning following the
8:15 AM school Mass. Each of these will take
about an hour of your time. Can we count on
you?
Handicapped seating has been added to the front
of the right section of the room. These seats are
intended only for those who find it difficult to
stand from the seated position or unable to approach to receive Holy Communion. We ask that
only those who have this need use these chairs.
Communion will be brought to those in these
seats.
•
During the Liturgy of the Eucharist from the introduction to the Preface when the priest says
“Lift up your hearts” and we respond “We have
lifted them up to the Lord” through the "Holy,
Holy, Holy" and whole Eucharistic Prayer
(Consecration) we are really praying one continuous prayer. Therefore, we should refrain
from responding to the words “…through Christ
our Lord” during the preface. The “Great Amen”
just before the Our Father constitutes the end of
the prayer. If you listen closely to the Preface the
priest is simply saying a statement of fact to the
Father, not petitioning him which would include
an “Amen” from those present.
•
We all get into habits in our daily living. Some
habits are good and others should change. We
live such a fast paced life that we are always
ready to get to the next thing and have a habit of
leaving Holy Mass early. However, the Liturgy
should not be something that we simply leave
early or after receiving Holy Communion so we
can beat the traffic or get to the next thing on our
list. Let’s try to set good example for others, especially our children, by taking time after receiving our Lord to thank him for his many blessings.
If you are not able to receive Jesus in the Eucharist, take some time for a Spiritual Communion,
inviting the Lord into your life, thanking him for
his many blessings.
As you can see by viewing the slide show located in
the foyer of Fr. Herrmann Hall, renovations are progressing. Having completed a little over a month of
celebrating the Liturgy in Fr. Herrmann Hall, the
gym, I just wanted to offer a few thoughts.
•
•
•
•
We continue to make minor adjustments as time
goes on. One adjustment was the position that
the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
take to distribute the Body of the Lord. We ask
that as you come to receive Holy Communion
that you are mindful that everyone should proceed out of the left of their row. Two Ministers
of Holy Communion are available in each section. Please follow the usher’s direction and receive communion from either minister. Also, be
careful not to cut off someone who might be in a
line next to you by stepping in front of them.
I know the temperature has been an issue. The
HVAC system in the room is automatic, i.e.,
there is not a dial to set the temperature. The
system is set up in such a way as to sense the
number of people in the room and adjust accordingly. I will ask our HVAC contractor to raise
the temperature a bit. However, without getting
too technical, the floor of the gym requires the
temperature and humidity to be at specific points.
