A Note From

Rev. Joe Koyickal

Holy Trinity, our model & inspiration

As we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, we are invited to reflect on this great mystery at the very heart of our faith: God is Father, Son, & Holy Spirit, a perfect communion of love, unity, & self-giving. The Trinity reminds us that our God is not distant or solitary, but a God of relationship & community.

Thus, this feast invites us to reflect on our own parish community & our place within it. Just as the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit live in perfect unity & love, we too are called to grow as a community rooted in faith, love, care, & mutual support. Parish life is not simply about attending Mass; it is about belonging to one another as brothers & sisters in Christ, sharing responsibility for the life and mission of our parish family. Every one of us has a role to play. We are called to make a difference.

In today’s Gospel, we hear the beautiful words: “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son” (John 3:16). God’s love is generous, faithful, & life-giving. We are called to reflect that same love in the way we welcome one another, support one another, forgive one another, & work together in building up our parish community. We need to own our responsibility.

St. Paul, in the second reading, encourages us: “Encourage one another, live in peace, & the God of love & peace will be with you” (2 Cor. 13:11). These words are both a comfort & a challenge for us today. Every parish becomes stronger when each member recognizes that they are needed, valued, & called to contribute their gifts & talents for the good of all.

May this Feast of the Holy Trinity renew in us a deeper sense of belonging & commitment to our parish family. May it inspire us to grow together in faith & love, reflecting more fully the unity & communion that we celebrate in the mystery of the Trinity. 

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, & the communion of the Holy Spirit remain with us always. 

Blessings of Peace & Joy Always!
