JUNE 7, 2020

As we celebrate the mys-tery of the Trinity we also realize the mystery of how much God loves and cares for

us each day. Believing in this our li-ves can then overflow in thanksgiving and praise. Your gift in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box will help the poor to believe in the mystery of God’s love for them. Al celebrar el misterio de la Santí-sima Trinidad también nos damos cuenta de cuánto Dios ama y cuida de nosotros cada día. Creyendo en esto, nuestras vidas pueden entonces des-bordarse en Acción de Gracias y ala-banza. Su donación en la Caja para los pobres de la Sociedad San Vicente de Paul ayudará a los menos afortu-nados a creer en el misterio del amor de Dios por ellos.

THE MOST HOLY TRINITY LA SANTÍSIMA TRINIDAD

Consulting with the Parish Council, we’ve decided that until permission is granted for the public

celebration of daily Mass the safest plan to follow is to keep Saint Stanislaus Church open Monday through

Saturday from 8am—11:30am for private prayer. Transfiguration will be used every Sunday at 9am for the live-streaming of our bilingual Mass. So...Monday through Saturday you are invited to come here - - on Sunday we’ll come to you! However: There are some common sense requirements to keep us all safe when visiting St. Stanislaus Church:

WEAR A MASK

MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCE (This is for private not communal prayer)

BRING HAND SANITIZER. Kindly respect areas blocked off and refrain from touching statues. Of course, if you do not feel well, stay home! Please read the full list of the diocesan requirements below. There will be parishioners available to assist if you have any questions. I have asked the priests to make themselves available for confession.

Please pray for our Parishioners, Family Members & Friends who are ill , those on our Tree of Life and for the

intentions on our Parish website Prayer Request Page.

“As we begin the process of reopening our churches, we must understand that we will not be able to resume church life as we enjoyed it before. There will be a series of changes designed to keep everyone healthy and safe during prayer and worship. I am confident that we will respond, as faithful People of God, to the challenges placed before us,” said Bishop DiMarzio.

The Diocesan Plans to re-open can be found on our website.

Let us pray for a conversion of heart so that we might see the sinfulness of racism and resolve to end systemic intolerance which privileges some at the expense of others, to decry all actions which diminish the dignity and respect of individuals, and to lead all members of our communities toward a fu-ture where all live with the justice and peace God intends for all people. Amen.

For this week's At-Home Activity, we invite parishioners to create a game plan to have a powerful Sunday experience.

But, there are still simple steps we can take to make Sunday a powerful encounter with God! What: Browse suggested activities to incorporate in your pre-Mass, during Mass, and post-Mass activities and create a personalized game plan. Where: Go to SundayExperience.us to download a personal plan template—there is one for when we can attend Mass in-person, and one while participating via live stream. The templates are available in English and in Spanish.

***** Para la Actividad en el hogar de esta semana, invitamos a los feligreses a crear un plan de juego para tener una poderosa experiencia dominical.

Qué: Explore las actividades sugeridas para incorporar en sus actividades previas a la misa, durante la misa y después de la misa y cree un plan de juego personalizado.
