Trinity Sunday Year C - The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

Trinity Sunday reminds us that we are invited to live in the light of God's truth. As perhaps one of the greatest of mysteries, the Trinity shows us how God can be supernatural and yet still be close to us. The Father in heaven shared His divine love in the Spirit of the Incarnate Jesus Christ. Jesus makes the Spirit present to us. We as Christians are called to share the divine presence with everyone we meet.

"God is not static. God is dynamic like a dance - three persons holding hands and spinning in a circle of love. Through moving in union it becomes one dance. We are invited to join that dance, and we are called to invite others".

The Father is my hope.

The Son is my refuge.

The Holy Spirit is my protector.

While knowing the glory of the eternal Trinity, may our faith be strengthened and relationships nurtured.

Amen

A challenging Week Eight. The goodwill and support by the St Joseph's College staff continues to amaze me. Thank you.

The Year Fours had their First Holy Communion Reflection Day on Thursday. This was the final session before the Communicants celebrate their First Holy Communion this weekend. I encourage all members of the school community to attend one of the Masses to share with them this very special day. We wish them and their families a beautiful day.

Year Twelve students spent three days in Denmark for Retreat with Mr Luke Bogoni, Mrs Caroline Tompkin and Mr Andrew Ruck. Mr Bogoni prepared a wonderful array of activities and "moments" for the students.

It would be amiss if I did not mention recently departed, Mr Paul Lionetti. Mr Lionetti's association with St Joseph's College go way back to when he was a parent of the school. Then from 1992 to 1997, Mr Lionetti was Chairperson and Member of the St Joseph's College Board. And so it is with a very heavy heart that on behalf of the St Joseph's College community I pass on to his family, our deepest condolences. Eternal rest grant unto Paul, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Amen.
