Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. On this seventeenth Sunday, both the first reading and the gospel reading narrate the miracles of the multiplication of bread motivated.

In the first reading, Elisha tells his servant to feed a hundred people with just twenty loaves. Despite doubts, there is enough food, showing that God provides even when we don't see how it will work. And we hear that the people ate and still, there was food left over. Likewise, in today’s Gospel, Jesus performs the miracle of feeding the five thousand.

Dear People of God,

Good morning. Since Fr. George MSFS is writing his message regarding his Mission Coop for his congregation, I am not going to write my message in this bulletin. And also, he is going to do this weekend Masses in all our three Parishes. I am very happy to share the message given by Fr. George. Have a Happy Sunday!

Yours in Christ.
Fr. Doss

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. This week we return to the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. This Sunday and next Sunday, however, are designated as solemnities, special days that call our attention to the central mysteries of our faith. Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. This feast invites us to consider what we believe about God, who has revealed himself to us in the Trinity, one God in three Persons.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you! Today we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost, meaning "fifty," is the day that the Holy Spirit descended on Mary and the apostles in the form of tongues of fire, fifty days after Easter in the upper room in Jerusalem. This event also marks the beginning of the Church. Our First Reading of today speaks the first Pentecost. During this encounter with the Holy Spirit, the apostles and Mary felt a driving wind, there were tongues of fire on the heads of each of them and the Spirit allowed them to speak in different tongues proclaiming acts of God.

Dear People of God,

Happy Mother’s Day to all our beloved Mothers! On this day, let us remember and pray for our mothers both living and deceased who dedicated their lives for us.

On this 7th Sunday of Easter, we celebrate Christ’s Ascension into heaven. He has completed his mission by fulfilling his father’s will. So, as a good son, He has returned to render a full account of his work to his father. As Christ’s disciple, we rejoice because we celebrate the final victory of Jesus over Satan and this world. This is a sign of hope that we, too, shall overcome all the forces of sickness, poverty, humiliation, injustice, and oppression that try to subdue us in this world.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all! First of all, I express my sincere thanks to all those who volunteered with your equipment for cutting down of trees and cleaning them in and around the hill near the parking lot at our Fountain City. I wish and pray that you may be blessed with the choicest blessings of our Risen Lord Christ.

This weekend, six students of parishes are going to receive Holy Communion for the first time. Let us keep them in our prayers, so they that may grow in faith and love of our mighty God.
