Important information for Holy Trinity Church
I would like to share with you that I am leaving for vacation from January 22nd to February 9th. I will go home, to my wonderful country, Colombia. I have not been in Colombia since July 2022. I am very excited to go back after all this time. I will be visiting my family and friends in Medellin, my hometown, and probably, I will visit other cities as well. This will be a good time to relax, share with my family and friends, speak Spanish, and of course, to eat delicious Colombian food. I will preside some Eucharists with my family and friends during this time. Also, it will be a good time to renew my faith and vocation, and to be ready to come back to this wonderful family of Holy Trinity Church to work for God’s Kingdom.
Meanwhile, wonderful priests and a deacon will be with you during these weeks.
Let us start with Deacon Gary Terrana. You know him. He has been serving in our parish since I started my ministry as the Pastor. The parish will not have daily Masses during my time in Colombia; however, Deacon Gary will preside at Communion services. Please, go to these services, pray, and receive Jesus present in the Eucharist.
Fr. John Mulligan will be presiding the Eucharists during weekends and helping to listen to people in confession on February 3rd. You are always in good hands in the company of Fr. John.
Fr. Bill Michatek will be presiding at the Eucharists as well with Fr. John. He will listen to people in confessions as well on January 27th. Fr. Michatek has kindly offered to celebrate daily Mass at Holy Trinity on January 24th, February 2nd and February 6th. You know very well Fr. Michatek, so give him a warm welcoming during these days.
In addition, confessions on Tuesdays are canceled. If you need a priest for pastoral emergencies, anointing of the sick, or confession, please contact St. Paul Church, St. Rita Church, Holy Spirit Church, or St. Joseph Church.
Even though I will not be here, we have a wonderful parish staff, who can help you in case you need it. Please, pray for me during my vacation. I will pray for you from Colombia.
God bless you, and may the Blessed Virgin Mary be with you always!
Fr. Jorge Ramirez
