COVID-19 Vaccines & Catholic Morality

(La versión en español sigue al inglés)

Dear Families,

I greet you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  This week is Holy Trinity Sunday, and when we make the sign of the cross we are recalling the mystery of our faith that expresses the Holy Trinity, one God who is three persons – God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  This Sunday let us rejoice that God chooses to interact with us in different, loving ways.

Sunday’s Gospel John 3:16-18 talks about how God sends Jesus to save the world, He loves us and wants to give us eternal life.  Read the Gospel together as a family.

This week’s video will be only in English.  Sing together and rejoice!

For God So Loved The World…

John 3:16 – Juan 3, 16

Queridas familias,

Los saludos en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo.  Esta semana es el domingo de la Santísima Trinidad, y cuando hacemos la señal de la cruz estamos recordando el misterio de nuestra fe que expresa la Santísima Trinidad, un Dios que es tres personas:  Dios Padre, Jesús el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo.  Este domingo nos regocijamos de que Dios elige interactuar con nosotros de maneras diferentes y amorosas.

El Evangelio del domingo Juan 3, 16-18 habla de cómo Dios envía a Jesús para salvar al mundo, nos ama y quiere darnos la vida eterna.  Lean juntos el Evangelio como familia.

El video de esta semana será solo en inglés.  ¡Cantar juntos y alegrarse!

Tanto Amo Dios Al Mundo…

John 3:16 – Juan 3, 16

Dear Families,

Always, I pray this email finds you well and praying as a family.

This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. This feast celebrates the gift of the Blessed Sacrament the Eucharist. In the Eucharist, the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus. When we receive Holy Communion, Jesus is present to us and he continues to live in us and brings us eternal life.

From Our Director of Faith Formation:

My dear families,
I pray that you are all well. I understand that these are stressful times full of anxieties and
worries. Please remember that God is always with you, open your hearts to our Lord and
receive the message of love, hope, compassion and mercy that the Lord is offering through His
grace to those who seek Him. So, therefore:

Do not fear; I am with you;
Do not be anxious; I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.Isaiah 41:10

Please know that I miss all of you and am praying for all of you. You are the domestic Church
and what a better time to pray as a family. In your children’s bilingual book “Mi Fe Catolica”
there are prayers you can pray as a family. I encourage you to set up a prayer space in your
home where you and your family can pray an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be.
Your servant in Christ,
Bertha Keenan, Director
Family Faith Formation
Note: I have sent you letters with instructions so that I can email you. Please follow
instructions.
