The Woman at the Well Outdoor Picnic Area
It is with joy that I announce and invite everyone to the blessing and dedication of our new picnic area after Mass on Easter Sunday. This will be followed by a brief reception in the parish hall.
Early last year as we were still working through the pandemic, some of our parishioners expressed their desire for an outdoor space where we could gather for social events and be united as one family of God’s people.
Description: The benches signify our unity as children of God. The beautiful piece of art on the barbecue wall represents the different movements of God in and around creation and salvation. The three stones in the middle symbolize the Most Holy Trinity. The water flowing from the stone represents Christ, the living water welling up to eternal life. The flames from the rock represent the fire of the Holy Spirit. The statues are Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well from the Gospel of John 4:5-42.
For the past year, we have been working on this project through the generosity of Tom and Sarah Stadelman, who donated materials and labor for this project, the Knights of Columbus of our parish who provided labor and paid for the “Woman at the Well Sign,” and Francis and Alice Stadelman who with Tom financed the beautiful art on the barbecue wall. We are profoundly grateful to these our brothers and sisters for their generosity in making our parish a more beautiful and hospitable place.

Surrender Novena
As a parish, we are invited to join in solidarity to pray the Surrender Novena from Ash Wednesday. It is a nine-day prayer which calls us to surrender to God our worries, hurts, pains, challenges, stresses, and needs, knowing that in every moment, every second of surrender is the reception of God’s unending grace. Copies of the novena are available to everyone.

Holy Father’s Worldwide Synod
A listening Church:
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has invited the Universal Church to embark on a journey together. Through listening and discernment rooted in the Holy Spirit, the entire people of God will be called to contribute to a process by which the Church deepens in understanding of Her mission and looks toward the future.
A Synod, which is the process by which the Church will begin this important work, is not just a convening of Bishops reflecting on a particular topic and advising the Pope. A Synod is a journey of discernment, in which the people of God (parishioners) are called to pray and reflect upon the Holy Spirit’s will for the Church. Through listening and sharing, we will seek to understand what the Holy Spirit’s will is for the topic and questions being discussed – and thus, for the Church.
For this Synod, the theme is Synodality, which means journeying together. It implies discerning how the Holy Spirit is moving through and with the Body of Christ, so that we may continue to fulfill our mission to evangelize the world.
We will gather as one parish (Holy Trinity and St. John’s) on the date, time, and place stated above for our parish day of synodal discernment. This month, we will be praying for the Synod during Mass, and we will share more information about it with you each week in this bulletin.
