The Most Holy Trinity
Area Happenings!
Celebrating the reality of the Body and Blood
of Jesus Christ present in the Eucharist.
Saturday, June 17th, following 4pm Mass
What’s Your Catholic IQ?!
Which book in the New Testament has the MOST number
of words and which has the LEAST?
One of our core values as a committee is Learning.
Many of us experienced a heart that longed for Jesus well
before we had any real understanding of our faith. In order
to explore that longing, we must educate ourselves about
our faith, our Savior, and His bride the Church. “A man
can be a believer without learning, but it is impossible for a
man without learning to comprehend the things declared in
the faith,” says St. Clement of Alexandria. We value
learning.
What is a member of our Parish Staff reading this
week?!
Amy Mott– 5 Conversations You Must Have With Your
Daughter By: Vicki Courtney
Catholic IQ Answer: Most is Gospel of Matthew
with 18,000 words and Least is St. John’s third
letter with 220 words.
I promised Dick Teresinski that we would help him find a
partner to continue the work of John Berger with the St.
Vincent de Paul Society. The service of the poor is at the
heart of the gospel. Now, Dick asks for your help. There
are two ways that you can help.
St. Vincent DePaul Volunteers
Two Volunteers needed to make home visits for:

2 – Furniture and household vouchers

If you have any questions feel free to contact me at 4342145 ext. 211. Thank you – Fr. John

Ministry Training
There will be a night of training for Ushers, Eucharistic
Ministers, and Lectors on Wednesday, June 14th
in the church.
If you are scheduled as a trainee or are interested in
participating in 1 or more of these ministries, please come!
Thank you for making our M&M sale Kickoff a success. Over
500 M&M tubes were sold after the masses last weekend. The
Feed My Starving Children donation Globe will be located in the
Narthex on Sundays starting this weekend through Sept 24. Your
filled tubes or additional contributions can be deposited in this
receptacle. The money collected for this cause will be used to
purchase food supplies to be used at this year’s MobilePack event
coming up in October. Last year through the efforts of 12 area
churches over 500,000 meals were packaged during this 4 day
event. Opportunities to participate in the MobilePack Event will
be announced at a later date.
Ushers: 6:00-6:45
Eucharistic Ministers: 6:30-7:15
Lectors: 7:15-7:45
Please mark your calendars: in order to be on the schedule,
you need to make the training.
Hope to see you there!
NEW PARISHIONERS MAY
Summer Stewardship Tree – It’s back!
Did you know that through simple acts
of kindness, social accountability
initiatives or even donating an item for
our parish food pantry are all acts of
Stewardship that serve and honor God?
Please check out the Stewardship tree
in the narthex on the weekends of June
10 & 11 and the 17 & 18 for ideas on
things you can do this summer that
offer a variety of ways to serve God
through these simple acts.
How it works: Ornaments on the tree contain a variety of
stewardship acts. You may want to pick one for the entire family
to do together or you may want to have individual family
members pick items that appeal to them. Please take the
ornament off the tree and bring it home as a reminder. Perform
the suggested activity as you have time this summer. There is no
need to return the ornament, and enjoy the blessings that come
from being a good steward!
St. John’s Prayer Group
St. John’s Prayer group has been meeting every Thursday night at
7:00pm in the Church Narthex for the past seven years. It is
always open to anyone who wants to grow in their faith. Through
music, scripture, personal testimony, and various forms of prayer,
we lift up our country, our parish, our families and our youth. If
you have a personal prayer request, call Marilyn Johnson at 4340332. We will lift up your need in prayer. Please consider joining
us. The schedule for Breaking Open the Sunday Readings is on
Wednesday mornings from 6:30-7:30am and on Wednesdays
evenings from 6 – 7:00pm in the Narthex. Everyone is invited! If
you have a bible, please bring it along, but it isn’t required. No
need to sign up; just show up when you can. This is the week to
give it a try!

WHERE HAVE THE St. Vincent DePaul Boxes Gone?
Hello
We here at SVDP have determined that the donations at
many of our drop box locations have gotten out of control.
This leads to overflow, damage, theft and unsightly mess.
Unfortunately, at this time we don’t have the manpower to
manage the extreme amount of donations that are
dropped off at these sites. For these reasons we will be
pulling the box from your location.
If you receive any questions as to where to bring
donations, please direct people to our Donation Center.
St Vincent de Paul Donation Center
1529 Leo Frigo Way
Green Bay WI 54302
Donation hours are:
Monday through Friday 9AM – 7PM
Saturday 9AM – 3PM
We will be looking at a new method of having items
donated to us through off sight locations and when/if we
are ready to implement this, we will offer it up as an option
for your location.
Thank you

It happened one day as Deacon Nick was describing this
pilgrimage/trip that he was organizing. I told him I thought that
was great. I might even join the pilgrimage. Next thing I know is
that I am spiritual director.
What me?
Well, we will be doing just like we do in the parish. We say, and
believe, that we do it together. We will be discovering scenes of
great beauty and much history. We will be learning about
ordinary women and men who were so influential in the founding
of our faith in the New World.
We will be telling a lot of stories and doing a lot of laughing. It
will be a pilgrimage and we will be discovering the beauty,
music, faith, joy, art and discovery that this pilgrimage will bring.
Would you like to come join us? We will learn together all that
God desires to give to us. Please give Deacon Nick a call 4945105 or stop him after church. Soon we must give Lamers a
roster of those who are going and we would love to have you join
us!

The Most Holy Trinity
Dear People of God,
A good number stayed after the 10:00 Mass last
Sunday for the blessing of the monument that enjoys a
prominent place right off the circular drive in front of
the new church.
This monument is a most generous gift of our
Knights of Columbus. The Knights are active around
the world supporting the ministry of priests and caring
for their families and those of brother knights and
others in need.
As we read the Ten Commandments, I thought of the
words of the scripture: how blessed we are to have
God so close and receive this excellent way of living.
As we read the Seven Precepts of the Church, I again
thought of the scriptures: An uncertain trumpet
blast sirs no one’s soul.
This monument, along with the Ten Commandments
and the Seven Precepts of the Church, remind us how
blessed we are. The commandments are not just good
suggestions – take them or leave them.
The Seven Precepts are not to make life more difficult
but, to make life more livable.
Thank you, brother Knights. This generous gift will
anchor our faith life and our church practice for many
years to come.
Thank you also to Michelle Nowak, Jenny
Wassenberg, Matthew Utech and Pat Femling who are
new members of the Parish Council. Thanks also to
Jean Payette who will serve as trustee-secretary and all
those who have served this past year.
We are asking parish team and members of the
Pastoral and Finance Councils and at least two
representatives from each committee to reserve
Tuesday evening, August 22nd from 6:30-8:30 pm. For
a most important meeting.
Someone from the Diocese will be here to help us
focus our efforts for the greater glory of God and help
of each other. This will not be the same as last year
so, please, put this evening on your calendar.
Peace
Fr. John
