Dear Friends,     Feast of the Holy Trinity

  1. This weekend we have a delegation from our sister parish in Haiti with us:  Fr. Christophe and nine others who work with the school.  They have had a busy week!:  Visiting St. John Regional Catholic School, St. Thomas More Academy, Walkersville High School,  and Rock Creek School to learn about teaching techniques in the United States, and meeting with representatives from BP Solar about getting solar panels for energy for their computer lab.  They have also been meeting with the members of our parish.  This weekend they are here to pray with us and to help us to remember that while cultures and experiences may be different among us, the love of Christ and the common faith that comes to us from the Apostles joins us together as one with our brothers and sisters from Haiti and from around the world!
  2. Building Project:  Please continue to pray for our parish center building project.  The building, according to current estimates by the builders (and these are subject to change), are that the building will be available to the parish to use by Oct. 1st.  We will continue to have the dedication of the building by Archbishop O’Brien on Sept. 7th. 
  3. MEMORIAL BRICK NAMES NEED TO BE IN BY JULY 15th.  We will stop taking names for the memorial bricks at that time in order to have them ready for the dedication.  Please contact the parish to give them the names of those you would like to have on a memorial brick.
  4. St. Timothy Parish Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore:  We will be having a pilgrimage on May 31st. 

We will leave St. Timothy at 9:30am and return by 3pm.  Please see the insert in this week’s bulletin about it.  All parishioners and any other interested people are invited to come join us.

 

God bless you and keep praying!  Fr. Andy
