For the Church, the Trinity is considered a mystery. There are aspects of it we will never fully grasp while we are this side of heaven. But it is something that we hold as revealed truth. Today's readings touch on the distinctions, as well as the linkages, between and among the persons of the Trinity. It has been said that such a theological mystery is not a puzzle to solve, but more like an ocean in which we are swimming. We may never comprehend its totality, but we experience its presence and accept its reality, as well as its magnificence. There are references to the Holy Trinity in the Old Testament, but their meaning was mostly hidden. When Jesus became man, he revealed the three persons of the Trinity more fully. As Christ had promised before he ascended into heaven, the Holy Spirit did come at Pentecost to help and empower the early Church to carry on Jesus’ saving mission. The Spirit was also poured out upon the Church to guide it and its members in the way of truth. The Holy Spirit continues to be at work in and through the Church, empowering the Church and her members to continue doing the work Jesus calls her to do. Contact the Parish office to arrange for baptismal preparation. Baptisms are celebrated monthly except during Lent. Spanish Prep Class: 1st Mon at 7 pm; Baptism: 3rd Sat at 10 am English Prep Class: 2nd Mon at 7 pm; Baptism: 4th Sat at 10 am Weddings Arrangements need to be made at least six months in advance. Call the Parish office. Rosary The Rosary is recited daily after the 8 am Mass and before the 5:30 pm Mass on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Hispanic Community has a Rosary Hour every Monday at 6 pm in the Rectory Chapel. Welcome We welcome visitors and newcomers to St. Clare Parish. We encourage new parishioners to register as parish members and become active in our parish community. Registration forms are available at the Parish Office and in the Church vestibule. You may also fill out the form below. throughout the Mass that honor the Holy Trinity. Of course, the creed is probably the most obvious, but you will find others that give voice to our belief in and adoration of the Holy Trinity. The Solemnity of the Holy Trinity has been an official and universal celebration in the Church since the thirteen hundreds. It is even celebrated by most Protestant denominations. During today's liturgy, special prayers honor each of the persons of the Trinity, but every Mass is full of references to the Trinity and prayers showing our devotion. Our Catechism tells us that the Trinity is the model and source of unity of the Church, as well as that of the family. (813, 2205) As we reflect on these things, let us pray to the Holy Trinity to guide us in strengthening our unity, as we continue to respect and cherish our diversity. Let us also see the Most Holy Trinity as a model for how we are to live. Just as the three persons of the Holy Trinity are perfectly united in a oneness of love, we are called to live in ever-greater love and unity with God and one another. That is definitely a model for our diverse community to look up to and try to live it to the best of our ability. Sometimes we pray to the Trinity without realizing what we are doing. The sign of the cross is a case in point. This is probably the prayer most commonly said by Catholics. Yet, many people do not think of it as a prayer to the Trinity. In fact, a good number of Catholics go through the motions of the sign of the cross, without thinking about the words at all. It has become what we call a ritual, something in which the motions become a prayer in themselves. During today's Mass, make a point to notice how many times we make the sign of the cross. Think about the words. Listen, too, for other prayers Fr.

Receiving the sacrament of Eucharist for the first time is not the end of faith formation; it is one of many milestones along a life-long journey called discipleship. Therefore Parents are encouraged to enroll their children every year in our ongoing Faith Formation classes to help them to increase their knowledge and love of Jesus and the Catholic Church during those important years of their formation. Registrations for next year children's Faith Formation are now being taken. All children who are not attending catholic school from 1st to 6th grade may register for the cycle 2016-2017. In order for our Catechetical Office to better provide religious education to our children please register before May 31st, this allows to plan what resources – books, catechist, aides, etc – are needed for the year ahead. After this date there is a $50 late fee. New and Continuing Student Registration Forms are available at the entrances to the Church and in the Parish Office. They will also be available in our website. All new registrations must provide a Certificate of Baptism even if baptized at Saint Clare’s. Thank you for registering early. Sessions are scheduled on Sunday mornings from 10:15am to 11:30am starting almost at the same time of the new school year during the fall. Any questions? Please contact Paty Rascon at 4082487786 Ext.102 or [email protected] The Catechetical Office will be closed during the months of June and July, returning to regular office hours on Tuesday August 2nd. During that time inquiries can be directed to the Parish office at 408-248-7786 The Knights Corner. "Well the parish festival has come and gone. For you men that felt there might be something more you could have done to help our pastor, there was. Come join the knights and we will show you how to serve the parish's greater good." “To one who has faith, no explanaƟon is necessary. To one without faith, no explanaƟon is possible.” Saint Thomas Aquinas 2016 ~ 2017 APPLICATIONS St. Clare School is accepting applications for Transitional Kindergarten through Eighth grade for the 2016-2017 school year.

Churches, schools and seminaries were closed; foreign clergy were expelled. Cristobal established a clandestine seminary at Totatiche, Jalisco, Magallanes and the other priests were forced to minister secretly to Catholics during the presidency of Plutarco Calles (1924-28). All of these martyrs except three were diocesan priests. David, Manuel and Salvador were laymen who died with their parish priest, Luis Batis. All of these martyrs belonged to the Cristero movement, pledging their allegiance to Christ and to the Church that he established to spread the Good News in society—even if Mexico's leaders once made it a crime to receive Baptism or celebrate the Mass. These martyrs did not die as a single group but in eight Mexican states, with Jalisco and Zacatecas having the largest number. They were beatified in 1992 and canonized eight years later. May 22, 2016 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION (Most Holy Trinity) SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Before anything was created, the wisdom of God was brought forth (Proverbs 8:22-31). Psalm — O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8). Second Reading — God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us (Romans 5:1-5). Gospel — Everything that the Father has is mine; the Spirit will take from what is mine and declare it to you (John 16:12-15).

MOST HOLY TRINITY Sunday: Monday: The Most Holy Trinity Eighth Week in Ordinary Time; Victoria Day (Canada) Wednesday: St. Bede the Venerable; St. Gregory VII; St. Mary Magdalene de’Pazzi Thursday: St. Philip Neri Friday: St. Augustine of Canterbury Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary Around the turn of the fourth century, Augustine, still fairly fresh from the baptismal waters in Milan, was elected bishop of a tiny city in North Africa, Hippo. He told his people, “While I am frightened by what I am for you, then I am consoled by what I am with you. For you I am a bishop, with you I am a Christian.” He had his priorities right, and also knew that everyone coming from the water arises with a ministry, a specific role, in bringing about God’s kingdom. If we were asked to purge English of Greek vocabulary, we would gain an insight into key ministries in our church. Bishop, from the Greek episkopos, would become simply “overseer;” priest, from the Greek presybter, would become “elder;” and deacon, from the Greek diakonos, would be “servant.” Each title stands in relationship to all the baptized, serving the community, helping it to be the Body of Christ. In our deepest tradition, each of these ordained ministries is attuned to help us become our best selves, to hunger and thirst for the coming of God’s kingdom. The goal for each one of us is to be able to recognize the presence of Christ in worship and in service. Although only some of us are ordained to ministry, each of us is called to ministry. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. . WISDOM’S ROOT Wisdom has its roots in goodness, and not goodness its roots in wisdom. —Ralph Waldo Emerson READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: 1 Pt 1:3-9; Ps 111:1-2, 5-6, 9-10c; Mk 10:17-27 Tuesday: 1 Pt 1:10-16; Ps 98:1-4; Mk 10:28-31 Wednesday: 1 Pt 1:18-25; Ps 147:12-15, 19-20; Mk 10:32-45 Thursday: 1 Pt 2:2-5, 9-12; Ps 100:2-5; Mk 10:46-52 Friday: 1 Pt 4:7-13; Ps 96:10-13; Mk 11:11-26 Saturday: Jude 17, 20b-25; Ps 63:2-6; Mk 11:27-33 Sunday: Gn 14:18-20; Ps 110:1-4; 1 Cor 11:23-26; Lk 9:11b-17 OPEN AND SHUT There are two times when to keep your mouth shut: when swimming and when angry. —Anonymous PATIENCE Patience and the passage of time do more than strength and fury. —Jean de la Fontaine Boletim Paroquial Português Boletín Parroquial Español Boletim Paroquial Português 22 de Maio de 2016 Domingo da Solenidade da Santíssima Trindade Reflexão por: João Pereira Arruda Em nome do Pai em nome do Filho e do Espírito Santo, assim se inicia a Santa Missa, as nossas devoções, quando passamos por cemitérios, capelas ou nichos de santos pelas estradas e caminhos das nossas terras de origem ou a reverência que se tinha quando os sinos das igrejas das nossas terras davam o toque das “Trindades”. É assim que expressamos o Deus na Sua totalidade através do sinal da cruz invocando o Pai que nos criou e nos quer, o filho que Se fez um de nós para nos revelar o amor do Pai e nos justificar perante Ele e o Espírito Santo que se faz presença de Deus em nós. Quase a terminar o Tempo Pascal a igreja presenta-nos com esta Solenidade de honrar a Santíssima Trindade e no processo de trirar-mos tempo para meditar sobre a significância de Deus nas nossas vidas e tentarmos compreender o Triângulo de Amor perfeito entre as três pessoas – três Deuses da Santíssima Trindade. Humanamente é impossível atingir essa perfeição de amar mas o nosso Deus já se contenta em tentar-mos amar –Lo com os dons que o Espírito Santo nos dá, com o modêlo de vida nos apresentado por Jesus durante a Sua vida na Terra e da Imagem que Jesus nos revelou de um Pai que nos criou nos ama imensamente e misericordiosamente. Em tudo está o Deus completo na Santíssima Trindade. A vida da Santíssima Trindade é a comunhão entre as pessoas divinas; Pai, Filho e Espírito Santo. O dogma cristão da Santíssima Trindade faz-nos mergulhar na nossa vida concreta e descobrir que o amor não é um mandamento moralpara cumprimos, mas antes é a comunhão de vida á qual somos todos chamados. Esta só pode ser vivida em comunidade porque é exctamente a vida de Deus que é infundida nos nossos corações. O sentido da nossa vida é fazer com que a comunhão entre nós, isto é, a nossa vida de irmãos unidos no mesmo Senhor, manifeste ao mundo a vida da Santíssima Trindade. Não por palavras , mas sim, pela manifestação das nossas vidas. Parabéns á Sociedade do Espírito Santo Viaje de Fe Estamos en un viaje largo y lleno de acontecimientos. Las lecturas de hoy para el Domingo de la Santísima Trinidad cubren sucintamente la profundidad y la amplitud de nuestros viajes humanos. Los comienzos de nuestro viaje se revelan en la lectura de Proverbios. El plan de Dios lleno de sabiduría divina nació antes de que la tierra existiera. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla de su propio viaje personal. Él ha venido del Padre y volverá al Padre. Sólo en ese momento el Paráclito –el Espíritu de la Verdad– nos llevará hacia adelante. Esto no disminuye la dificultad del viaje. El contexto mismo del Evangelio es la noche antes de la muerte de Jesús. Como san Pablo les escribe a los romanos, “Nos gloriamos hasta de los sufrimientos, pues sabemos que el sufrimiento engendra la paciencia, la paciencia engendra la virtud sólida, la virtud sólida engendra la esperanza” (Romanos 5:3-4). En última instancia, nuestro viaje humano está modelado por la Santísima Trinidad –una familia de amor entre el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu que todos somos llamados a emular. — Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Inscripciones para el Catecismo Prosiguen las inscripciones para el ciclo 2016-2017 del programa de formación continua en la fe “Encontrando a Dios”. Es un programa diseñado no solo para prepararse para la Primera Comunión sino para crecer y profundizar la relación con Jesús y ser sus discípulos toda la vida. Las clases son para niños que cursan del 1º al 6º grado en escuelas públicas. Para poder serviles mejor y planear los recursos que necesitamos para el próximo ciclo, les pedimos que inscriban a sus niños antes del 31 de mayo.

A partir del 1º de junio hay una cuota de $50 por inscripción tardía. Sabía usted que… La iglesia dedica el domingo después de Pentecostés a la Santísima Trinidad. El papa san León, en sus sermones de Pentecostés, gustaba hablar de la Trinidad. Se tienen nociones de que monjes empezaron a celebrar esta solemnidad alrededor del año 1000. El Papa Juan XXIII fue quien finalmente la instituyo en el año 1334. Oficina de Catequesis La Oficina de Catequesis y Ministerio Hispano cierra durante los meses de junio y julio. Abriendo de nuevo, con el favor de Dios, el 2 de agosto.
