Fr. Michael St. Paul, native of Southern California, was ordained to the priesthood on June 11, 2005. He studied at St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo, CA, where he received a Master’s Degree in Divinity and a Master of Arts Degree in Theology. Also, while at St. John’s, Fr. Michael received a Bache-lor’s of Arts Degree in Philosophy. Prior to the seminary and during his business life, Fr.

Michael’s first parish assignment was at St. Jo-seph Church in Santa Ana as Parochial Vicar, and then to St. Anthony Claret Church in Anaheim in 2009, and has been here at St. Polycarp since July, 2011 as Pastor. Prior to his priestly formation, Fr. Michael worked for the Walt Disney Company in various admin-istration/management positions for over 20 years. In Fr. Michael’s vocation story he states, “I have worked for the ‘Magic Kingdom’ for half of my life and now I work for the Eternal Kingdom for the rest of my life!”
Father Michael looks forward to becoming the new Pastor of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Ladera Ranch and meeting all of the wonderful parishioners.

Fr. Charles Tran was born in Vietnam and raised Catholic. He was an altar server from the second grade until he graduated from high school. He credited being close to the altar and participat-ing in the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Move-ment as experiences that helped deepen his faith and increased his love for the Eucharist and the priesthood. Fr. Charles completed his theological studies at St. Patrick's Seminary & University and was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Kevin Vann in June 2014. Our Lady Queen of Angels Church was his first assignment as a priest where he served for four years. Afterwards, he was assigned to St. Norbert Church for two years. Fr. Charles looks forward to serving the communi-ty at Holy Trinity Church. He humbly requests that everyone prays for him and helps him to be an instrument of God’s love.
The Diocese of Orange announced today that public Masses can begin in Orange County on the solemnity of Corpus Christi, Sunday, June 14 (including Saturday June 13 Vigil Masses) in a phased-in approach with measures in place to safeguard public health. In addi-tion, the Bishop of Orange, Kevin W. Vann, extends a dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday and Holy Days of Obligation until such time as it is deemed safe to have large gatherings at Mass.
After extensive consultation over these past few months with civil authorities, County of Orange Health Au-thority, as well as with our medical advisors, the decision was made to gradually open the churches for Mass with strict guidelines for attendance including important requirements for the distribution and reception of Holy Communion and the safety and health of all who attend. Bishop Vann acknowledges the hard work of Bishop Jaime Soto of Sacramento, on behalf of all the California bishops, who met frequently with Governor Newsom and his staff. The positive cooperation of all involved – working together for the common good – has helped bring us to this important moment. “The pandemic is far from over so we will begin with small steps,” said Bishop Vann. “Realizing that reinfec-tion is a concern, as we saw occurred in Texas and elsewhere, I am asking our pastors to prepare their churches to ensure that these guidelines are followed without exception.” Indeed advisors to the bishop have been working on guidelines for weeks, in consultation with county officials and other experts. The Diocese announced that phase one brings smaller groups of healthy Catholics back to a limited Mass with strict social distancing guidelines and rules. Phase two would allow larger groups while phase three would allow choirs to return to church and social gatherings to resume. At this point, it is unknown when we might be able to enter phases two and three. Phasing our return allows for the ability to re-evaluate the pro-cess as necessary in order to ensure the health and safety of the community going forward. All phases of this plan require following strict guidelines for social distancing and sanitization. Those over age 65 and/or with a co-morbidity will be encouraged to consider not returning to Mass just
yet, and anyone showing any symptoms of sickness, or anyone who has a household member who is sick or showing symptoms of sickness should not come to church.
The church will be thoroughly sanitized/cleaned before and after each service, including all entryways and doors. Holy water fonts will be empty, and hymnals removed.
Hand sanitizer will be available at all churches. All local safety orders specifically relating to proper face coverings will be followed. People will be instructed to not engage in any physical touch, such as by greeting each other. Signs and other instructions will encourage normal safe practices necessary to avoid the spread (e.g.
cough or sneeze into a shirtsleeve, handkerchief, or tissue; avoid touching the eyes, nose, and mouth). Ventilation will be increased as much as possible by opening windows and doors, as weather permits. The sign of peace and distribution of the Precious Blood is suspended.

The Most Holy Trinity Life, the Universe, and Everything Why does God love us so much? And why are we able to love others? The answer to these questions is found in the meaning of today's feast. Trinity Sunday cele-brates not so much an idea of three-in-one as the relationship of the Persons of the Trinity with each other and with us. The idea is that the Father expressed himself as the Word. Since it was a perfect expression, the Word is his Son and equal to the Father. The love of Father and Son is expressed as the Holy Spirit. Being a perfect love, it too is equal to Father and Son. So even the idea of the Trinity is based on love. But God's love was so great, God went even further. God created us to be loved by God. In the second reading Paul blesses the Corinthians with the "love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit." The book of Genesis (3:18) says that it was not good for man to be alone. So God creat-ed woman, and through man and woman all humanity, to be able to love each other. Though hu-man love is not perfect, the love of man and woman can produce another person, a child. The three Persons of the Trinity share one life in God. But through baptism, we also share in God's life. Just as parents love to see how their children look like them, so God loves to see the divine in us. The first reading reminds us of God's closeness to humanity. Moses can speak to God and God re-sponds by granting his request. The Gospel tells how much God loves the world, that God's own Son was sent to die for us. But we sometimes forget that God's love comes first. We think that the more loving we are, the more God will love us. But love comes from God (1 John 4:7-11), so when we love someone it doesn't make God love us more; we love because God loves us first. Our deci-sion to love is a response to God's love, and our ability to love is itself a gift from God. The meaning of life, the universe, and everything is Love, the love of the Trinity for each other and for us. The question now is, how well do we use that gift of God's love by loving each other?

Catholics should visit the website of their parish for eventual specific instructions on how their parish will offer Masses and how attendance will be allowed. In most cases, only one-third of the church space will be available per Mass. Bishop Vann has granted a temporary dispensation from the requirements of canon 932, which will permit priests to celebrate Mass outside the sacred space of a church building, thereby permitting parishes to utilize other spaces for Masses including gymnasiums, parish halls and outdoor spaces. Since the Sunday obligation has been dispensed from, Catholics will be encouraged to attend other Masses during the week instead of on Sunday, in order to spread out the number of people attending. More Masses than usual will be offered to attempt to accommodate everyone who desires to attend Mass during this phase. In addition, many parishes will continue to livestream Masses. Anyone who is in an at-risk health group or does not feel comfortable attending a public gathering should stay home. Also, anyone who is sick or has been exposed to the coronavirus should refrain from attending a public Mass as it is an act of Christian charity to safeguard the health of others. “Please continue to pray for those who have died, those who are sick from this disease and for the people who care for them,” said Bishop Vann. “I wish to thank everyone for their sacrifices over these last weeks to benefit the common good. It has been a time of reflection, prayer and growth in faith for many of us. We will continue to take one day at a time and walk in faith together until the day we can all gather to rejoice in the Lord. The Solemnity of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ) is a very fitting feast day to begin our journey to once again gather together as the Lord’s people.”
Virtual VBS 2020 Monday, June 15th-
Friday, June 19th, 2020 What is Virtual VBS? We will be hosting live sessions from Holy Trinity daily from 9 a.m.-10 a.m. that will include praise and worship, experiments, and Bible Study. If you are unable to attend, videos will be created for you to view at your leisure. Your $50 per child registration will include a VBS t-shirt, Imagination Station experiments, Bible buddies and compan-ion book, instructions for water games and themed snacks, and access to all VBS videos used during our virtual VBS, and SUPPORT THE PAR-ISH! What if I can’t make the live stream? The benefit of virtual VBS is that it can be done at any time! Register for virtual VBS and go through the days and activities when it fits your schedule, even if that is one day or week or later this summer! Who can participate? Children who will be entering preschool (3yrs.) thru 5th grade in the Fall may participate. Please contact Erin Watson at [email protected] for more infor-mation. How do I register? All registration will be done online at our web-site: www.holytrinityladera.org/learn/vbs/Unfortunately we are unable to offer a cost reduc-tion for families. As we are unable to attend Mass in community, this offertory is in need. Thank you for your continued support and generosity during this time! If this is truly a financial hardship and a schol-arship is desired, please contact Erin Watson via email and we will do our best to accommodate.

Say Good-bye to Fr. Reynold and Fr. John As you are aware, Fr. Reynold and Fr. John will be moving to their new assignments on July 1st. The current COVID-19 requirements will prevent our ability to gather in community and give them the big good-bye and thank you that they deserve. For Fr. Reynold we are assembling a memory book of notes and photos. There is a link on our webpage where these can be submitted. All of the letters and photos will be collated into a book for Fr. Reynold to take with him and provide a physical remembrance of his time and relationships here at Holy Trinity. As Father will be leaving at the end of June, we would like to gather the reflections by June 20th to provide time to prepare his gift. Additionally, if your heart desires to do more for Fr. Reynold or Fr. John, our donation web page has indicators for anyone who wishes to contribute to their retirement or a give a monetary gift of thanks! If you have any questions, please contact An-gela at [email protected]. Thank you and God bless-
