The Easter season came to a close last Sunday as we celebrated the feast of Pentecost. We are
now in the liturgical season of Ordinary Time.
The predominant color of this season is green. Ordinary Time will take us through the summer
and fall, until we reach the season of Advent in late November. During Ordinary Time, we are
given the chance to follow Jesus as His disciples. As we venture through this season, we will
once again witness what Jesus said and did, as it is recorded in the Gospel according to St. Mark.
This Sunday is the feast of the Most Holy Trinity. There is no explanation that will suffice in
helping us adequately understand the mystery of the Trinity. It is simply a mystery of faith that
God is one in three Divine Persons. This is truth that God revealed about Himself. He has
allowed us a glimpse of His inner nature and has showed us that He is one God of three distinct,
but united persons, identified as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is what we call the
Trinity. Although we are at a loss to understand this mystery of God’s existence, we can derive
from it that the essence of God is love. The three Persons of the Trinity are united by love and
share a unique bond of oneness. Each Person is unique, but together they are one and the same.
We try to explain the Trinity with the shamrock, the triangle, or even the three stages of water. Yet none of these
can fully capture the fullness and depth of its meaning. It just simply is, and we bow our heads in reverent
acceptance of this mystery that has been revealed by God Himself about Himself.
The Sunday following Trinity Sunday (two weeks after Pentecost), the Church celebrates the solemn feast of the
Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, also known as Corpus Christi. This feast was established to recognize that
Jesus gave us His body and blood under forms of bread and wine in the Eucharist. And in this bread and wine
dwells the Real Presence of Jesus. The Church has maintained this truth ever since Jesus established the Eucharist
at the Last Supper.
Originally, Corpus Christi was celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday. As with
the Ascension, which also used to be observed on Thursday and is now celebrated on Sunday,
the observance of Corpus Christi has been transferred to Sunday as well. In many other
countries of the world, such as Poland, Corpus Christi is still observed on Thursday. It is
celebrated with Mass and Eucharistic processions during which the Blessed Sacrament, carried
in the monstrance, is taken outside of the church for public viewing. The procession leads the
Blessed Sacrament to four prepared altars. At each altar the Blessed Sacrament is venerated and
a passage of the Gospel regarding the Eucharist, according to each of the four Evangelists is
proclaimed. The four altars represent the four corners of the world over which Jesus has
dominion and reigns.
We will have such a celebration of Corpus Christi on Thursday, June 4. Mass will be at 6:00pm followed by a
Eucharistic procession outside on the parish grounds. The procession will stop at four prepared altars and will
then conclude inside the church.
This will be the fourth time that we will celebrate Corpus Christi with Mass and procession on the Thursday after
Trinity Sunday at Our Lady of Las Vegas. Because this celebration has its origins in our Polish community, the
liturgy will be in English and Polish. I hope you will join us for this solemn event as we renew and publically
profess our faith in Jesus Christ, really and truly present in the sacramental signs of bread and wine in the
Eucharist.
O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine!
Fr. Gerry

“But you will never find the Father without the Son and Spirit, neither the Son without the Father and
Spirit, nor the Spirit a stranger to union with Him from Whom He proceeds. The Father and Son are
in the Spirit, and in the Son there is the Father with the Spirit, and the Son is and abides
co-everlastingly in the Father and has the Holy Spirit shining forth together with Himself. Believe it!
These are one God and not three.”

Faith Formation
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Enrollment 2015-2016
Are you thinking about joining the Catholic Church or learning more about it? Ask
yourself these questions:
•
Where is your journey of faith leading you?
•
Are you interested in knowing more about the Catholic Faith?
•
Do you know someone who might be interested?
If so, come and see what the RCIA process is all about. The Right of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is
a process for non-Catholics who are interested in (or even just thinking about) joining the Catholic Church.
It’s also a process for those who have not received all of their Catholic Sacraments.
Each year our parish begins this process to welcome any and all who are curious about, interested in, or just
want to know more about the Christian faith as it is lived and celebrated in the Roman Catholic Tradition.
This process is an amicable faith-sharing among friends.

STAND AND BE COUNTED
New Members Welcome!
Registering in a parish is a declaration of your desire to be part of a Catholic community and a commitment to the life
of the parish family. To clearly state your Catholic commitment in all its dimensions brings you advantages,
recognition and responsibilities of many kinds.
Being a registered parishioner makes things much easier when it is time for Baptism, First Holy Communion,
Confirmation, weddings, school registration, when asked to be a baptism or confirmation sponsor and even funerals.
We will also be able to provide you with a financial statement for your taxes at the end of the year.
We are often asked to provide affidavits for Baptism and Confirmation sponsors. We can only do
this if a person is a registered, active and contributing member in our parish. How do you know if
you are already registered? A registered parishioner receives all parish mailings. So, are you a
registered parishioner? If not, please consider registering. Registration forms are available in the
parish office or you may register on our parish website at www.ollvchurch.org.
