The Most Holy Trinity -Year A
Sunday Masses in Level 1
After two weeks of no new cases we hope that following Monday’s Cabinet
meeting the Prime Minister will announce that the country will moving into
Alert Level 1 for COVID-19. This will allow almost all activities to resume
including Church services with unlimited numbers.
If this happens as expected we will return to the celebration of Sunday Mass
on Sunday 14 June. That day is also the Feast of Corpus Christi (the Body and
Blood of Christ) and what an appropriate day for us to resume gathering
again as a Eucharistic community. We have already returned to the
celebration of weekday Masses.
Ordination of Deacon Trung Nguyen
Yesterday, in the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Palmerston North, Deacon
Trung Nguyen was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal John Dew. It was
a wonderful occasion for the Diocese of Palmerston North. Although
restricted by numbers because of the present Level 2 alert, Deacon Trung’s
ordination is a wonderful sign of the Holy Spirit working in the lives of
young people willing to serve in the Church.
Father Trung’s family were unable to come from Vietnam for the ordination
so he was surrounded by his fellow priests and representatives from schools
and parishes throughout the Diocese. He has been appointed as an assistant
priest in the Catholic Parish of Hastings and we look forward to seeing him
here in Hawkes Bay in the coming days. We warmly congratulate Father
Trung and assure him of our prayers and support. Father Trung is the fourth
sibling in his family to be ordained a priest.
Thank You
I sincerely thank those who attended the Working Bee in both St Patrick’s
and St Mary’s last weekend. Although numbers were small the amount of
work achieved both inside and outside the Church buildings has ensured
that the Churches and grounds are looking pristine for the return to Sunday
Masses. The St Thomas More community are having a working bee next
Saturday 13 June in preparation for the return to Sunday Mass.
