SOLEMNITY OF THE HOLY TRINITY
Believe that you can enter into a personal relationship with each of the Divine
Persons and make this profound mystery come alive in your daily lives.
To the Father we ascribe works of power and speak of Him as the Author of
Creation. He not only created us and keeps us in existence by His creative act
which is continuous, but also re-created us by sending His only-begotten Son
into the world.
To the Son we assign our redemption, since He alone became incarnate - He alone
lived, suffered, died, rose and ascended, because He alone became man.
To the Spirit we attribute the divine blessings we receive, whether from the
Mass, the Sacraments, through prayer or good works. We ascribe these to the
Spirit, since He is the mutual love of the Father and Son, and divine blessings
are gifts of love.
MAY 31ST - FEAST OF THE VISITATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
The FEAST of the VISITATION, which we celebrate this Monday, commemorates the
visit the Blessed Virgin Mary made to her relative, Elizabeth. At the time of
her visit, both women were pregnant with remarkable children. The Gospel for
this feast tells us that Elizabeth, upon hearing Mary’s greeting was filled with
the Holy Spirit and cried out to Mary, calling her the most blessed among women.
Elizabeth questioned how this privilege of Mary’s visit happened to her. Mary’s
response to Elizabeth’s joy was the beautiful prayer flowing from the lips of
Mary, known to us as the Magnificat. You too can honor Mary on this day by your
attendance at the 9:00AM Mass this Monday.
MEMORIAL DAY
National customs can change with the times and needs of the people. But there is
one custom, a very precious one, that should not be changed. That is, the day
set aside by our government to honor all those who have given their lives in the
service of our country - Memorial Day. On this day we are not celebrating war.
We are remembering that when it was necessary to fight to preserve our freedom
there were those who gave their lives to keep us free. Gratitude and prayers for
these veterans is extended again this Memorial Day 2010.
HOLY NAME CEMETERIES
Parishioners can be proud of the appearances of both parish cemeteries.
Maintenance personnel are to be commended for their solicitous care of these
sacred acres of burial ground.
There will be no Field Mass at the cemetery site this year. Plan to attend the
9:00AM Mass in church on Monday.
ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL - GOAL $90,794.00
To date, 16% of parishioners have contributed to the Annual Catholic Appeal..
This is our “Annual Catholic Opportunity” for building up God’s kingdom through
the two dozen ministries of our Local Church. To arrive at our parish Goal, I am
asking each family to make a pledge of $75.00. I suggest that you spread your
payments over a three-month period if that would be to your convenience. There
are those with the financial ability to contribute larger donations. All Holy
Name families are requested to contribute their fair share in order to reach
this assigned Goal.
Our goal this year is to achieve participation from every parishioner Your
participation is vital to the success of the ACA not only for these ministries,
but for our own parish as well. Please make a gift that reflects your gratitude
for God’s incredible blessings. Join me in returning your completed pledge card
by placing it in the collection basket within the next week. If you are unable
to make a financial gift, please return your pledge card indicating that; we
will see that you do not receive a second request.
CATHOLIC MENS CONFERENCE
The 2010 Conference, entitled “Men of God - Men of Virtue” is scheduled for
Saturday, June 12, 2010 at St. Francis University in Loretto. Speakers this year
include Richard Lane, Fr. Brian Cavanaugh and Fr. Paul Robine. Each will offer
talks of personal testimony to their failures, successes, and richness of their
journeys through life - sometimes in harmony with God, other times in desperate
search of god’s presence. The day concludes with the Celebration of Mass by
Bishop Joseph V. Adamec. We encourage the men of Holy Name, young and old, to
reserve this date on your June calendar. Brochures can be found at all church
entrances.
OUR LADY'S MONTH
The month of May has always and ever awakened in the hearts of Catholic women
and men something beautiful and sublime. Even nature bursts forth in bloom
having relaxed its cold grasp upon the forces within its bosom to give new life
and beauty to the world about us.
There seems to be a rejuvenation or spirit with us and as though we were little
children again, in our spiritual lives, we turn to our Mother. We pray fervently
that this blessed month will lift our hearts and thoughts to her who is our
great Mediatrix before the throne of God.
Catholics give Mary a place as God himself has given to her beyond and above all
created individuals because she was chosen by God to be without sin. She was the
instrument by which Christ became human.
That is why we honor our Blessed Lady! This is why we are so devotionally proud
of her! She was one of us and in her we are all exalted and lifted up because
she who was of the human family was without sin. So then we ask you to join with
us in the glorious Marian hymns during the month of May, filling our souls with
love for her who is "our fallen nature's solitary boast." In honoring her we
come closer to Jesus, Her Divine Son, our God and Risen Savior.

49TH ANNUAL FESTIVAL
Holy Name Parish has established an excellent reputation as a sponsor for
Festival foods and family attractions and entertainment. The 2010 "presentation"
will not disappoint anyone. Much planning and talent sharing over the course of
months have been extended by scores of parishioners.
Now is the moment for the entire parish to take ownership of this annual parish
event. Muscle, talent and patronage need be generously shared with your parish.
Truly this is a call to scriptural stewardship, an invitation to share time,
talent and material goods with Holy Name.
Please share the news of this Festival with out-of-town folk. Patronize the
Friday and Sunday Dinners!!!
FESTIVAL NEWS
Observations concerning the Annual Festival scheduled but one week from now:
RAFFLE: extra books of chances are available at the rectory. Let the secretary
know if you need an extra book or two. Return sold raffle books of chances to
the rectory during this week or to the Raffle Booth at the Festival.
FRUIT DONATIONS/CUTTING: Anyone wishing to donate fruit (watermelons,
cantaloupe, strawberries or grapes) for the Fruit Cup Booth is asked to drop off
their donations in the church hall before June 3rd. Anyone wishing to help cut
fruit is asked to come to the Faculty Dining Room in the Church Hall on Thursday
evening at 7:00PM.
REFRESHMENT STAND/CUTTING OF PEPPERS AND ONIONS - anyone interested in helping
to cut up the peppers and onions for the refreshment stand are asked to report
to the church hall on Thursday evening at 6:00PM.
BASKET COMMITTEE NEWS - The parishioners of Holy Name will be astounded when
they see the large assortment of beautiful baskets we currently have! They are
SPECTACULAR! Please have any baskets in AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so we can complete
all of the work necessary to prepare them for display. Chances will again this
year be 3 for $1.00, 15 for $5.00 and 40 for $10.00. In addition, this year we
are selling chances on a Kenmore gas grill, 3 burners, donated by Ebensburg Home
Town Sears, Mark LaMantia; along with a $50.00 gift certificate to Smithmyer’s
Superette in Loretto. All tickets will be sold until Sunday evening when we will
begin to pull the winners for the baskets. If you are not present at the time
the tickets are pulled, you will be called on Monday or Tuesday to come and pick
up your basket. We will not be calling Sunday evening because of the amount of
time required to pull all of the winning tickets. Winners will be listed about
9:00 to 9:30 PM. Again, if you do not come to see the Basket Tent, you will be
missing something unique! AND, probably the most important thing is the THANK
YOU that all participating and generous parishioners deserve. Holy Name Church
is blessed to have such generous parishioners!
NEW FEATURE TO SATURDAY FESTIVAL MATINEE - The Saturday Matinee this year will
feature Dennie Huber - magician/balloon artist from 1:00-4:00PM. Dennie’s
appearance at the Festival will include a magic show at 1:30PM. Dennie
guarantees “there’s something for everyone” and “that there is never a dull
moment.” His reputation for multiple balloon creations, and his wacky balloon
character hats are a must to see and receive. His balloon characters and his
magic show are both free.
