Readings for Sunday, June 16 The Most Holy Trinity: Prov 8:22�31, Rom 5:1�5, Jn 16:12�15�

�

�

As a father has compassion on

his children, so the LORD�has

compassion on those who fear

him. Psalm 103:13 �

As you know, we treated each one of you as

a father treats his children, exhorting and

encouraging you and insisting that you con-

duct yourselves as worthy of the God who

calls you. 1Thes 2:11-12

Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks

for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish? If

you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to

your children, how much more will your heavenly Father

give good things to those who ask him. Mt 7:9-11

�

While he was still a long way

off, his father caught sight

of him, and was filled with

compassion. He ran to his son,

embraced him and kissed him.

Luke 15:20�

“where you saw how

the LORD, your

God, carried you, as

one carries his own

child, all along your

journey until you

arrived at this

place.” Deut 1:31�

�...choose today whom you will serve,

the gods your ancestors served beyond

the River or the gods of the Amorites in

whose country you are dwelling. As for

me and my household, we will serve

the LORD. Josh 24:15 �

Hear, O children, a father’s instruction, be atten-

tive, that you may gain understanding! Prov 4:1

Indeed, I have sin-

gled him out that

he may direct his

children and his

household in the

future to keep the

way of the

LORD

by doing what is

right and just.

Gen 18:19

Children, obey your parents [in the Lord, for

this is right. “Honor your father and mother.”

This is the first commandment with a prom-

ise,“that it may go well with you and that you

may have a long life on earth. Eph 6:1-3

Whom the

LORD�loves

he reproves,

as a father,

the son he

favors.

Prov 3:11�12�

A Note on the Catholic Diocese of Port Harcourt�

The Catholic Diocese of Port Harcourt was created in 1961. It is domiciled in Rivers State,

which lies in the southernmost part of Nigeria on the Atlantic Coast. The population of Rivers

State is about 6.1 million. Its Catholic population is about 2.4 million, which continues to grow

steadily. The remaining 3.7 million comprises Protestants, Pentecostals /Evangelicals, Indigenous

religionists, and those with no religious affiliations whatsoever.�

The Diocese of Port Harcourt faces some challenges. In the face of the fast�growing Catho-

lic population, we are also lucky in the sense that we are beginning to have many vocations as

many young people are considering the call to priesthood. At the same time, we do not have suf-

ficient resources to see them through their long period of training and formation in the seminary.

It costs about $1,000 US to support a seminarian’s education for one year, which is about $83 a

month.�

Moreover, from its inception, the leadership of the Diocese of Port Harcourt labored tire-

lessly in the work of evangelization, establishing many secondary schools in various parts of the

diocese. The schools were key centers and instruments of evangelization and sound Catholic ed-

ucation. But that has been at the secondary level. That is why the Diocese is, therefore, now

building a new college (Stella Maris College) to help promote Catholic education at the tertiary

level. The school will provide tuition scholarships for less privileged students whose education

has been interrupted especially young schoolgirls due to poverty or other familial constraints.

With good education, they can actualize their potential and become empowered and equipped

to meaningfully contribute to society. We, therefore, ask you to please join us in supporting our

mission through your prayers and generous financial assistance.�

� � Thank you and God bless you for your support. �

Fr. Camillus O. Njoku (Parish Chaplain, Immaculate Conception Parish, Washington, PA), for and

on behalf of the Diocese of Port Harcourt.�
