6th Sunday of Easter
Pastor’s Musings Last weekend I received a gift from the students in our parish Religious Education program. It was a book of their drawings and thoughts of appreciation to me for the Year for Priests. I had almost forgotten that this was still the Year of/for Priests, but it is interesting to see ourselves through the eyes of our young people. Here is one of the drawings from the book. Father Bill Pensamientos del pastor El Domingo pasado recibí un regado de los estudiantes en nuestro programa parroquial de educación religiosa. Era un libro de sus dibujos y pensamientos, de agradecimiento para mi en el ‘Año Para Los Sacerdotes.’ Casi me había olvidado que éste sique siendo el Año Para Los Sacerdotes, pero es interesante para nosotros ver a través de los ojos de nuestros jóvenes. Aquí está uno de los dibujos del libro. Padré Bill This weekend we celebrate Trinity Sunday. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The love of three persons in one God is so complete and intense that it overflows into all creation and into all of us. God is the Father Who embraces us; Jesús is the Son Who is our brother; and the Holy Spirit is the breath who enlivens us. Monday (Memorial Day) May 31st is a holiday to remember those who have given their lives in our nation’s military service. We pray for those who have served in our nation’s conflicts and pray that nations may seek the ways of peace together so that no more of our young people need to die in war. Mass will be celebrated at 9AM in Cambridge. Cat-Lick Corner “Himself may think he is the only one whom the kids of the parish appreciate, but one of the drawings in the Appreciation Book was about me. At least, the kids know who is really important in this parish!” El Lugar ‘Gató-lico’ ‘El padre Bill puede pensar que él es el único a quien los niños de la parroquia apreciar, pero uno de los dibujos en el libro de agradecimiento es para mi. Por lo menos, los niños saben que es realmente importante en esta parroquia.’ Annual Catholic Appeal 2010: 3 more families have pledged an additional $600, bringing our parish total to $21,215.
