Pastor's Letter
Dear Holy Trinity Family,
As the month of June is getting over, we look back our three big celebrations – my 25th anniversary of priestly ordination, Fr. Quoc Paul Vo’s first Mass, and our parish’s 100th anniversary Mass with Archbishop José Gomez – with a sense of God’s blessings. Again, I would like to thank all volunteers and anyone who worked very hard as front workers from planning something out to cleaning them up afterward. Truly without any of volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to pull out all these celebrations. Beside these visible volunteers, there were some people who worked behind the scenes. I also felt my much gratitude to each of them as well. Thank you all!
With our centennial Mass of Thanksgiving with Archbishop José Gomez, our year-long centennial celebration officially ended now, which was started last year on the Solemnity of Holy Trinity Sunday (May 26, 2024) with Bishop Albert Bahhuth. Although our commemoration of 100 years of journey ends; however, there are two remaining projects left, and we still need to complete them in timely manner. The first remaining thing to do is to install our centennial commemorative plaque, which was blessed by Archbishop José Gomez at our centennial Mass, at right-side of the church entrance wall. Sometime next two weeks we will put it on the wall so that it can be permanently attached to the wall and all people who see it may know about our 100 years of presence at Atwater Village. The second project is about “Centennial Time Capsule” that the Holy Trinity Pastoral Council and Centennial Committee have decided to have it buried in a yard in front of the rectory. It will be open 50 years later in 2075. We still need to discuss what items may and should go into the time capsule container. If any of you have any suggestions, please let Sylvia, our parish secretary know about by calling us or visiting our office. When there is more progress on this project, I will share with all of you.
The month of June is almost over. Let us ask God’s continuous blessings upon our community of Holy Trinity and all of us. May the Lord Jesus show and guide us what we need to do for the greater glory of God!
Blessings,
Fr. Brian
