Trinity Sunday

Webmaster • May 29, 2026

The Church celebrates the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity each year on the Sunday following Pentecost. The Trinity is one of the most fundamental beliefs of the Church and so it is fitting that we dedicate a particular Sunday to that mystery.


Celebrating Trinity Sunday allows the Church to further reflect on the mystery of God after receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. This helps us to see the connection that if we truly want to understand the Trinity, we need to have the gift of the Holy Spirit. We can never fully understand who God is on our own and desperately need his guidance and inspiration.


The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches:


                  The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in Himself.

                  It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental

                  and essential teaching in the “hierarchy of the truths of faith.” The whole history of salvation is identical with the history

                  of the way and the means by which the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, reveals Himself to men “and

                  reconciles and unites with Himself those who turn away from sin. (Paragraph 234)


So, we gather together today to celebrate the central mystery of God, one and three, eternally united in trinity. May the Holy Trinity dwell in the hearts of each one of us who come to God in faith and draw us ever closer into the mystery of God’s eternal love.

Corpus Christi – The Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ

By Webmaster • June 5, 2026
This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Corpus Christi. This beautiful Solemnity gives the whole Church on earth the opportunity to praise God for the blessing of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  One of the most fundamental beliefs of the Church is that in Holy Communion, we receive the true Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Saviour, Jesus. Not a sign, a promise, a symbol or a token, but the REAL PRESENCE of Him Who, with the Father and the Holy Spirit is God. So, today, on the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of the Lord, let us thank God for His closeness to us, in the Sacraments, in his Word, in our prayers and celebrate our wonderful Catholic faith which has always and will always, proclaim the truth of the Presence of Jesus in our midst. O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving, be every moment Thine

The Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

By Erica Evans • June 5, 2026
The Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is celebrated on Saturday, the day following the Feast of the Sacred Heart. Mass will be at 10am. The feast reminds us of the joys and sorrows, virtues and hidden perfections of Our Lady and above all, her virginal love for God the Father, her maternal love for her son Jesus and her compassionate love for all persons. Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is based on the imitation of Mary’s ‘yes’ to God as the Mother of Jesus. In this devotion, love is the result, rather than the “object” of the devotion; the object being rather to love God and Jesus by uniting one’s self to Mary for this purpose and by imitating her virtues, to help one achieve this. As we sing in the great Marian hymn, “Immaculate Mary! Our hearts are on fire; your title so wondrous fills all our desire.”
