Dear Holy Trinity Family,

Happy Mother’s Day!

To all mothers of Holy Trinity Parish, along with all house priests, Msgr. Herres, Fr. Mike and Fr. David, I would like to say “Mil Thanks” to you for all your love and care that you have shown and given to your children. There is no other love that can match to motherly love which every mother possesses for her own children. As we celebrate Mother’s Day today, we honor all mothers and respect them deeply. Here at Holy Trinity, we offer a flower to all mothers after each Mass. This is a small token of our appreciation and love for them. Again, Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers!

Next Sunday, May 17, there will be a second collection – Cardinal McIntyre Fund for Charity. This Fund “provides emergency help to persons who have nowhere else to go. The fund is not a replacement of supplement for welfare or other forms of public assistance. It does not support persons’ living needs on a continuing basis. Rather the Fund acts to solve immediate, pressing problems: food and milk for three days, lodging for the night, emergency medical care, rent to tide over a financial crisis or a utility bill to keep the water or heat turned on for the week. Your contributions to the Cardinal McIntyre Fund for Charity make you a sharer in our parishes’ works of mercy, and in their rewards of grace.” I quote this explanation from the website of Office of Development, A Division of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. When we assist the poor, we are not only help the needy brothers and sisters, but also Jesus Christ who is present in them. So, please be generous with your love for Christ! In advance, I thank you for your support to Cardinal McIntyre Fund!

During this month of May, the Month of Blessed Virgin Mary, I dedicate Holy Trinity Parish to our dearest Mother Mary every Sunday with my sincere prayers for all of you. Please know that you are not alone. You are always with our Triune God and Blessed Mother. I pray that all of you may feel the Risen Christ’s presence in your daily life and be encouraged to continue your spiritual journey with Him.

May God bless all of us through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary!

Blessings,

Fr. Brian
