TODAY’S MASS INTENTION: Deceased Members of the Gyékenyesi Family, by Irén & Pál Gyékenyesi 

MASS SCHEDULE & INTENTIONS FOR THE COMING WEEK:

FROM THE DESK OF FR. BONA: The mystery of The Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of our Christian faith and life.  Although we cannot comprehend it, it lies closest to our heart. And our belief in it encompasses our entire Christian life.  We became Christians by professing one God in three Persons; we begin and end our prayers in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The joy and happiness of our Christian life is that we are children of the Father, brothers and sisters of the Son, and temples of the Holy Spirit. Through the mystery of the Holy Trinity, we recognize that God is not only infinite power, but that his essence is Love  – not only towards His creations, but foremost also in His inner life.  The most beautiful profession of a prayer to the Holy Trinity is the singing of the “Te Deum.” Some other prayers:

May people baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit always glorify the one God of the Trinity with their lives! 

May the mystery of the unity of the Trinity lead the whole Christian world to the unity of faith and charity!

May the outpouring of the love of the Trinity lead all people to the light of the Gospel!

May the power of the Father, the wisdom of the Son and the grace of the Holy Spirit preserve the unity and happiness of our families!

May our deceased loved ones and benefactors come to the presence of the Holy Trinity.

NEXT WEEK (JUNE 11) IS THE FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI: At St. Emeric we will hold our traditional outdoor procession (after the 11:15am Mass), weather permitting. I also ask the children who would like to participate by scattering the flower petals in front of the Blessed Sacrament in the procession, to wear their white dresses.

 LETTER FROM OUR BISHOP re: 2023 CATHOLIC CHARITIES APPEAL: It is with tremendous gratitude that I thank you and the parishioners of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish for reaching your 2023 Catholic Charities Appeal goal. Your compassionate leadership and the generosity of those who have supported our “A time to heal. A time to help.” campaign provides Catholic Charities with resources to help our brothers and sisters in need throughout our diocese. The gifts that have been shared are already at work, helping to transform lives throughout Northeast Ohio.

Catholic Charities has been at work throughout the eight counties of the diocese for over 110 years, helping all people in need, regardless of their faith, race, or creed. While we have much to be grateful for, some of our neighbors continue to struggle with hunger, loneliness, mental and physical illness, and poverty. I appreciate your dedication and work to ensure that all of God’s children can access programs and services to keep themselves and their families safe and healthy.

As missionary disciples of Jesus Christ, we joyfully walk with others on their journey no matter their struggles, no matter how different they are from us, and no matter their beliefs. By inviting participation in the Catholic Charities Appeal, you not only fulfill Christ’s mandate to feed the hungry, care for the sick, and welcome the stranger, you also strengthen parish life at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish by building a family of faith that cares for the good of our brothers and sisters. May God bless you and those you love.

Most Rev. Edward Malesic, JCL, Bishop of Cleveland

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SICK, especially, Kathy Szabó, Kamilla Szabó, Anna Melega, Dorothy Fromhercz, Alex Szaday, and Virginia Kachmar.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE DECEASED: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen

THIS SUNDAY the 11:15 AM Mass from St. Emeric church will be livestreamed at https://www.facebook.com/saintemeric/ and on the website, https://stemeric.com/

LET US PRAY THREE HAIL MARYS FOR OUR PARISH EVERY DAY!
