Ringel, Sr. by Helen Ringel 11:00 am (GS) Leon & Patricia Topolski by Children From Father Joe This weekend, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, honoring God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Our parish has inherited many treasures from the five parishes that merged to form Good Samaritan Parish in 1994; among those treasures are the various statues in the church. When people come to visit, I often point out one of my favorites, the statue of the Holy Trinity, inherited from the parish of the same name. The statue must be very rare. It isn’t often that one sees a picture of God the Father, let alone a statue depicting the Father, along with Jesus seated at His right hand and a dove representing the Holy Spirit hovering just behind them.

Joe Freedy, Fr. Nick Vaskov & the Seminarians will sponsor the 3rd annual Quo Vadis Days Retreat for young men entering or just graduating from high school. This retreat is formed around learning & discerning a vocation. Visit www.pghpriest.com for info & to register. Last weekend, we participated in the 50th Anniversary of Nationality Days, a festival that had its roots in the ethnic foods and traditions in our local churches. Sadly, many of the churches in the area are no longer able to participate in this annual event, primarily because of a lack of volunteers. A special thanks to all those people from our parish who worked so hard to make our presence known at Nationality Days. Thanks also to the folks from Saint John the Baptist who worked so diligently to organize and staff our flea market and bake sale. Although the summer is just beginning, our own Good Samaritan Parish Festival will be upon us before we known it. This year marks our 20th Anniversary of the festival. There will be a few surprises. We are particularly excited that a new band, Dancing Queen, will be here Thursday night of the festival. Keep us all in prayer and watch the bulletin for developments.
