Friday, June 16 is the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, followed on Saturday, June 17 by the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Pope Francis refers to the Heart of Jesus as "the ultimate symbol of God’s mercy ... a real symbol which represents the centre, the source from which salvation flowed for all of humanity." He bids us to turn to Mary – her Immaculate Heart, "a mother’s heart, has fully shared in the 'compassion' of God, especially in the hour of the passion and death of Jesus. May Mary help us to be mild, humble and merciful with our brothers." (Angelus, 9 June 2013)

Catechists Needed
A catechist hands on the living experience of the Gospel, which is the mystery of God’s love for us. A catechist, most importantly, prays. The catechist also studies the Gospel, spiritual texts, and theology, develops appropriate teaching skills and nurtures his or her spiritual life and personal faith formation.
For the 2023-2024 year we need three catechists. If you are interested in serving as a catechist, please email L.J. Milone, Director of Faith Formation, or call him at 202-347-3215 x 530.

Misa de la Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad (en español)
domingo 6 de junio a la 1pm
Vea nuestra página web de transmisiones en vivo para obtener enlaces a YouTube y al Programas.
Ampliar el círculo
El Domingo de la Trinidad no es para analizar el Tres en Uno. Es una invitación a meditar sobre la entrega mutua del Creador, el Redentor y el Santificador, que "aman tanto al mundo" que todos compartimos el abrazo divino. Sin embargo, para los niños víctimas de agresiones, su experiencia se ha sentido fuera de cualquier círculo de cuidado. Por eso, la "Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño" de la ONU fue el tratado de derechos más rápida y ampliamente ratificado de la historia. Asegura que todos los niños tienen derecho a la vida, a un nombre, a una familia o tutor, al cuidado de la salud, a la educación, a la libertad religiosa—incluso al derecho a jugar. Rodea de ternura a los niños de tu vida. (Take Five for Faith, el domingo 6 de junio)
