Biblically, a Jubilee Celebration is about observing an extended Sabbath and honoring a year of rest (Lev. 25). A Jubilee Year is consecrated when liberty is proclaimed to the land and all its inhabitants. It is also a year of blessings when God restores and reconciles all things in Christ! (Eph 1:10).
The 20th Jubilee of Holy Trinity Catholic Church is a major milestone celebrating divine life, blessings and service to the faithful people of God for the past two decades with fond memories starting from “Mass on the Grass” to the present day where we worship God in a beautiful Church building. This time is also a call to trust the Triune God more in moving forward as a parish community, seeking His abundant blessings on all our parish community members as we journey as “Pilgrims of Hope” honoring our parish mission to put God first above all things. Like the Israelite’s, together let us sing “He is good, and His love endures forever”. (2 Chron. 7:3).
Fr. Bala and I are so excited to kick off our 20th Jubilee this year! Our Jubilee will be a year of restoration and celebration for Holy Trinity! 2025 will be filled with holy and redeeming events to foster Christian fellowship as well as beautification projects. I hope to see all Holy Trinity families on Saturday, November 9 at the 4:00pm Mass followed by the Kickoff Celebration. I know for many of you it seems like yesterday when the first Mass on the Grass took place and those early memories. You have stuck together as great parishes do, and I’m grateful to be a part of your journey. Let’s continue to journey together with Christ and be Christ for others and one another.
In Christ,
Fr. Michael St. Paul, Pastor
Apart of our journey forward is taking a moment to look back on all our fond memories and achievements as a parish! Please upload any historic pictures you have to share, thank you!
Generous and merciful Father,
In this Jubilee Year and the 20th anniversary of our founding as Holy Trinity Catholic Church, we praise and thank You for all the blessings we have received. Under your watchful and loving eye, we have grown from a small seed to a thriving and welcoming parish family. We are thankful for the lives of those You have called home to Yourself, those who helped build this vibrant community of love and service.
As we enter this year of Jubilee, a year of spiritual renewal, we ask you to touch our hearts anew with love for your Son, to enlighten our minds through the Holy Spirit, to strengthen us for service and sacrifice, and to give us the courage to give back to You with our time, talent and treasure. We are Pilgrims of Hope, looking to restore all things in Christ, to strengthen our Christian fellowship. We hope and pray for peace in the world. May the Jubilee remind us that those who are peacemakers will be called “children of God.” (Mt 5:9). May your grace reawaken in us a yearning for the treasures of your Kingdom, and may we be your voice of hope to share with others the enduring love that is the Holy Trinity.
Our greatest hope is the promise of eternal life in the Kingdom where You live and reign as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
