Dear Most Holy Trinity Family,
Peace and blessings to you!
In the first reading, Moses is engaged in a battle with Amalek’s army. Moses grew tired and weary, but his friends supported his arms one on each side so that his hands remained steady and the battle could continue.
This weekend, as we celebrate our Ministry Fair, we are reminded that we, too, need one another to remain strong in faith and service. Like Moses, some of our volunteers may be growing weary, and they need your support. Please stop by one of the tables after Mass and consider offering your time and gifts to a ministry. If you don’t see something that matches your talents or interests, please leave us your contact information so that we can connect with you.
Here is an update. In a previous letter, I shared that MHT was preparing to hire a Music Coordinator. After further conversations with our choir directors, we have decided to postpone this process for now. I also mentioned that after our recent Jesuit retreat, we wanted to hear your dreams, hopes, challenges, and opportunities for growth in our parish and school community. This remains a goal, but I’ve been advised to begin this consultation first with our parish leadership team.
Additionally, our Diocese is moving forward with implementing its Pastoral Plan born from the synodal consultation. Each parish will align its own plan with the six diocesan priorities and objectives. Please check the parish bulletin and website to learn more. MHT will select a few priorities to begin implementing this plan. Although it is an eight-year journey, we will begin soon by discerning which areas of growth best serve our community.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our MHT family. Let us continue to pray for one another and for the Holy Spirit’s guidance as we grow together in mission and service.
In Christ,
Fr. Elias Puentes, SJ
Pastor
