Archbishop's Catholic Appeal

Dear Parishioners

Happy Easter! Yes. It is still Easter. Remember, we Catholics know how to party.... celebrate. And we will be going so for 50 days until Pentecost. Once again, thank you to all who worked so hard to make sure that Holy Week, especially the Triduum and Easter Sunday went so smoothly. This, once again, reminds me of how wonderful our community is.

Next week, we will be offering the annual Archbishop's Catholic Appeal (ACA) at all the Masses. The video prepared with Archbishop Sample illustrates what is already so good about Holy Trinity. I encourage you to watch it. Here's the link: JesusChangesEverything.church In it, the Archbishop shares his three-fold mission for us:

1. A strong and united brotherhood of priests
2. Parishes formed to evangelize
3. Mission-passionate Catholic Education

We do very well in all three points. Yet, in order to make sure we are always on task in this regard, we must always be open to conversion of heart and renewal of ways in which we can share the Gospel. That is a deeply personal thing. But, it is not something to be kept to ourselves. The ACA is one of those powerful ways we can share our gifts with the parishes and peoples in our Archdiocese beyond our parish boundaries.

Your gifts to the ACA will help others come to a deeper relationship with Jesus an help spread His Good News. Thank you for giving as you can.
