Dear Holy Trinity Family,

I would like to thank all of you for your prayers and love that you gave me at the Mass of Installation as

Pastor on Friday, October 25. I am in great debt of gratitude and appreciation. With all your prayers and the

best wishes for me, I will try my best to become a good shepherd to the community of Holy Trinity and a

loving spiritual “Father” to the family of Holy Trinity. Preparing my priestly ordination back in 2000, I

reflected and meditated a lot when I chose my ordination biblical motto. This ordination biblical motto is

like a mission statement of who you are or who you would like to be. I chose my motto from the Gospel of

John 3:30 “He must increase; I must decrease.” More than 24 years of my priesthood, I have always tried

my best to put Jesus first and I am resolved continuously to put Jesus first, me last.

It is our Catholic faith and tradition that we pray for our deceased family members on All Souls Day,

November 2. Since it is on Saturday, we will have only 8:00am Mass for the dead. At 8:00am Mass, there

will be two tables ready on both sanctuary sides to put pictures of our deceased family members. Please

bring their photos and place them so that we may remember them at our Mass. Also, if you want to have an

offering candle for them, you buy a candle from the rectory office. The month of November will be a time

to reflect on our death and the death of Jesus Christ for each of us. His death opened the ending of our sins,

and his resurrection conquered all consequence of our sins. Let us bring the hope of a new life in us with

Jesus Christ.

With your commitment to the capital campaign Called to Renew, we can almost finish our parking lot

project. As you saw last week, the parking lot surface was coated, and new stripes were painted. Still there

are a few things need to be done, but meanwhile, please enjoy your restored parking lot. All our projects

were possible because of your love for the Holy Trinity community and your generosity along with your

commitment for the Called to Renew Campaign. I would like to say “Thank you” for your generosity and

commitment.

My prayers are for each of you and your family. Let us give all thanks and praises to God the Father with

His Son Jesus in Holy Spirit.

Blessings,

Fr. Brian
