Baccalaureate Mass
Wednesday night, Trinity celebrated its senior class with the traditional Baccalaureate Mass. It was a beautiful evening for an outdoor Mass in front of the school. Seniors and their families gathered in their cars to be “together apart." Angelo Natalie organized wonderful music for Mass with the help of his son Todd (TCHS ’96) and the beautiful voice of Dani Wasserman, former TCHS parent and worship leader for Harvest Time Church.
Fr. Michael welcomed the seniors 'home', for Trinity will always be their alma mater. He asked them to consider the truth of proclaiming the central mystery of God in the name Trinity which each of us must unwrap. He said that what really matters is that you know who you are and that you know who you are in relation to God. Nothing else ultimately satisfies the human heart apart from the love and worship of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. He encouraged the seniors to know the love of parents, family, teachers and, most importantly, God’s great love for them which has prepared them for this moment of flying the nest. It has been a very challenging year for this senior class, but there has been such an outpouring of love for them and by them. God knows us and trusts us and will never place us in situations that we cannot handle.
Fr. Michael ended his homily with these words of encouragement, “Let’s show God how it is to live a life that resonates in Christ.”
Dani, Angelo and Todd ended the evening with the song
Reckless Love
by Cory Asbury:
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God.
To Trinity’s final class, the class of 2020 - live lives that shine and resonate with this same overwhelming love and you will transform this world! Congratulations!
