Deacon Joe Squillacioti will be back at Holy Trinity for the summer! Prior to being ordained a Transitional Deacon, “Seminarian Joe” spent a year with us at Holy Trinity as part of his journey to the priesthood. After his ordination to the Priesthood, he will be spending a couple of months with us before returning to Rome to continue his studies.

Deacon Joe will be ordained to the Priesthood on Saturday, July 27th at Christ Cathedral. He will then celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving at Holy Trinity on Sunday, July 28th at 5:30pm Mass. A reception and First Blessings will follow after Mass.

Holy Trinity will be walking the Ladera Ranch 4^th of July community parade! If you are interested in your family participating, please contact Brian at bkopiec@sbcglobal.net for details.

We will be carrying signage (thank you Anita Depauw) representing areas of ministry and handing out items as we walk. Along with our own Holy Trinity Catholic church music playing and carrying hand held bubble blowers! It is sure to be a fun event with your children’s decorated wagons & bikes.

Dear Families and Friends,

Bishop Kevin Vann has declared Sunday, June 23 as “360 Sunday” in the Diocese of Orange.

Bishop Vann is urging all Catholics to make their voices heard and let Sacramento legislators know that they oppose Senate Bill 360 which would require priests to violate the seal of confession under state mandated circumstances.

If SB 360 were to pass, Catholic priests would be faced with either violating state law or breaking the seal of confession. As such, this legislation represents a violation of our country’s fundamental right to religious freedom as upheld by our Constitution.

As the Bill moves ahead from the Senate to the Assembly, Bishop Vann asks all Catholics to visit www.rcbo.org/360Sunday to learn more about the proposed legislation and to sign an online petition which will automatically be routed to your Assembly representative.

To go directly to the petition please click below. Following is Bishop Vann’s letter on Senate Bill 360 and call to action.

In Christ,

Fr. Reynold Furrell

Pastor
