W HAT’ S S HAWN THE S EMINARIAN U P T O? What a whirlwind it has been since monastic community; consequently, I wasn’t able to visit arriving at Holy Trinity over a my home parish on the weekends (which is what I would month ago! And what a wonderful normally do in pre-COVID pandemic times). And, I was experience it has been! able to attend First Communion of a little girl who was in my online “Zoom” ministry last year — it was wonderful Since arriving, I’ve done a bang-up to finally be able to meet her and her family face to face, of remembering many of your and outside the computer “Zoom Box.” names, and I’ve also been successful a misremembering the faces to which they belong (to those whom I’ve called by another name, my apologies!). I’ve Due to a very different summer schedule (caused in part by the pandemic), my schedule at Holy Trinity is split also been involved in Homebound Ministry (including delivering Communion); helping with Masses (including between a six-week block (which I’m wrapping up this week) and a two-week block (which I’ll complete funeral Masses and graveside services); sitting in on nd business, school, and pastoral meetings; attending Youth immediately before returning to the Seminary on July 22 ). and Young Adult Ministry gatherings; shadowing Fr.

As a result, this past month has been an incredibly blessed What does a Seminarian do for vacation? Well, my plan is learning experience for me; thanks to all of you who have to head back to Idaho to visit family and friends for a contributed to this wonderful experience for me! couple weeks, and then spend a couple weeks visiting Outside of Holy Trinity, I’ve had the opportunity to friends in Montana and Wyoming. I also plan to annoy the reconnect with folks from my home parish (the Cathedral) local trout populations in those states as best I can while whom I haven’t seen since last Summer. At Mt.

After I’m done visiting family, friends, and we’re “locked down” during the semesters to reduce the fish, I’ll return to Holy Trinity — and I hope you’re all are chance of COVID being brought back into the “Hilltop” looking forward to it as much as I am!

2 B RETT’ S T WO C ENTS Hello everyone! If you’ve been following along in the bulletin for these past several weeks, you know that Al is stepping down as our Director of Community Outreach in order to devote more time to the Beaverton Resource Center (BRC). We’ll miss him greatly, and are thankful that his change in work doesn’t mean he and Cathie will be changing parishes. Who else would keep the Benjamin’s in line at the 5:30pm Saturday Mass?

Michelle Dieter is stepping into Al’s shoes as our new Food Closet Coordinator (though she tells me she prefers the term ‘Warrior Princess’ — I think I’m in trouble). You may have noticed the changed title, and that’s intentional. With the BRC right next door and able to handle the many outreach needs that are presented at our Food Closet so much more comprehensively, it’s a good opportunity for us to think about where we want to direct our Food Closet energies going forward.

That sort of strategic thinking will be led by Michelle, but for the time being I want to assure you that the heart of the Food Closet Ministry — getting food to hungry people! — will remain central and untouched. That includes our Backpack Program, our Thanksgiving Food Baskets, and our Christmas Giving Tree. We’ll also continue to provide some outreach assistance, albeit in a more targeted way, focusing predominantly on parishioners in need. All of these efforts will now fall under the heading of Holy Trinity’s Food Closet Ministry.

Reflecting this more streamlined approach, those of you donating online will notice that there are now three giving options rather than four: Holy Trinity Parish, Food Closet Ministry, and Holy Trinity School. Our Backpack and Teen Duffel Bag Programs (which were listed as a fourth option) will continue, but will now be funded out of our general Food Closet Ministry account, rather than a separate outreach account as in the past. Any current donations to these programs will be changed over to the general Food Closet Ministry account as well starting July 1st. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be reaching out to those of you with recurring donations to confirm these changes before they go into effect.

For parishioners who receive offertory envelopes quarterly in the mail, you’ll see an updated “Holy Trinity Food Closet Ministry” special collection envelope replacing the current “Holy Trinity Community Outreach” envelope starting with the October–December mailing.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Michelle ([email protected]) or myself ([email protected]). As always, thank you so much for your continuing generosity that makes all of our efforts possible!

In the wisdom of the Church, th Friday 11 what we do at Mass matters. What is Mass? The 8:15am +Wesley Black one true sacrifice of Jesus made present every time Mass is celebrated. The flowers for this weekend are in loving memory of Elizabeth Thiercof. Now, let’s think about that for a moment. We believe that what Jesus did on the cross, He does HOLY FATHER’S INTENTION FOR JUNE again, every time Mass is celebrated. It used to be called the unbloody sacrifice of the Lord on His The Beauty of Marriage Let us pray for young people who are preparing cross. Why was it called this? Because we do not for marriage with the support of a Christian behold His bloody body as was seen at Calvary, community: may they grow in love, with instead His body is under the appearance of bread generosity, faithfulness and patience. and wine, but Jesus IS PRESENT THERE. At the root of this is our belief that what we receive IS S CRIPTURE R EADINGS JESUS, body, blood, soul, and divinity, 100%.

Monday 7th That is why we go to Mass; we show up, 2 Cor 1:1–7 Thursday 10th Saturday 12th participate, and receive that very same Jesus into Mt 5:1–12 2 Cor 3:15—4:1, 3–6 2 Cor 5:14–21 our very selves.
