VISITATION OF OUR SICK
Ordinarily our sick and housebound parishioners
are visited every First Friday.
If you have a relative or friend not on this list;
but would want communion, please contact Deacon Steve.
Trinity Sunday
We are baptized
in the name of the Father,
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
Sunday’s Readings
Excerpts to think about
First Reading
This is why you must now know, and fix in your heart,
that the LORD is God in the heavens above and on earth
below, and that there is no other. (Dt 4:39)
In the closing remarks of the speech delivered to the Israel-
ites in the desert, Moses reflects on God’s fidelity and love
for them. In return for God’s favor, the Israelites are in-
structed to keep God’s statutes and commandments. Why
do you think so many people are resistant to this divine
expectation?
Second Reading
Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into
fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption, through whom
we cry, “Abba, Father!” (Rom 8:14-15)
Paul sees the Holy Spirit as integral to our identity as
“children of God” and “joint heirs with Christ.” How do
you sense our Triune God at work in your life?
Gospel
“And behold, I am with you always,
until the end of the age.” (Mt 28:16)
We hear today the closing words in the Gospel of Matthew
— Jesus’ final commissioning of the disciples to evange-
lize and baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. What insights to the nature of God does this divine
relationship offer?

The Capuchin Walk for the Hungry: benefitting Capu-
chin community services takes place the weekend of June
12th & 13th. There is a team being formed. If you would
like to participate, call Monica Rebro at 414-208-6752.
With the CDC lifting the indoor mask mandate for vaccinated people, the Archdio-
cese has lifted the mask requirement for mass attendees (although some may feel
more secure wearing a mask). We will not be asking anyone’s vaccination sta-
tus. However, since not all people are vaccinated, the social distancing (every other
pew) in our church will remain for now. Another new change is that hymnals and
Sunday’s Word are available to use in worship going forward.

May 30, 2021 Trinity Sunday
Feast of the Visitation of Mary
Monday, May 31st
Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth!
Elizabeth, in her old age, bearing John the Baptist,
and Mary, in her virginity, bearing Christ the Lord!
In this event Mary is a model of work and prayer.
She went to visit her cousin
who was in need of assistance.
When the infant of Elizabeth’s womb
leapt for joy at Mary’s greeting,
Elizabeth said of Mary:
“Blest is she who trusted that the Lord’s words to her would be fulfilled ” (Luke 1:45).
Then Mary sang out her solemn praise of God
in words which still echo every day
throughout the Christian world
as part of the Church’s vespers / evening prayer.
Indeed, we pray to God with Mary,
who is a model for those who turn to God.
“My being proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit finds joy in God my savior,
for he has looked upon his servant in her lowliness; all ages to come shall call me blessed.
God, who is mighty, has done great things for me, holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age
on those who fear him ” (Luke 1:46-50).
We honor Mary by imitating her charity toward
Elizabeth and her prayer of praise to God.
Mass at 8:00 a.m.
SOME SCRIPTURAL REFLECTIONS ON THE TRINITY
“The Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will instruct you
in everything and remind you of all that I told you (John 14:26).
“Now that I am going back to the one who sent me, not one of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
Yet I tell you the sober truth; it is much better for you that I go. If I fail to go, the paraclete will never come to you,
Whereas if I go, I will send him to You” (John 16:5, 7).
“None of the rulers of this age knew the mystery; if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
Of this wisdom it is written “‘Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on us
what God has prepared for those who love him’”. Yet God has revealed this wisdom to us through the Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:8-10). FATHER - SON - SPIRIT
Memorial Day, Monday, May 31st
The last Monday of May is set
aside to remember and honor the
living and deceased victims of
war. We pray for them as well as
for justice and peace, which today
are so much needed throughout
the world. Likewise, this holiday
begins the summer season in our society. We praise
and thank God for the beauty which surrounds us in
the warmth of this season. Enjoy this holiday week-
end and all of summer! Mass will be celebrated at
8:00 a.m. All are urged and welcome to memorial-
ize those who died for our freedoms!
M.Q.S.C.A.: We have two big announcements from the
school. First, MQSCA will be hosting a vaccine clinic at
the school on June 3, from 2 – 4 PM. It is open to anyone
ages 12 and up who wish to receive the COVID-19 vac-
cine. No appointments are necessary, just come to the
church doors and the health department will take care of the
rest. All neighbors, parishioners, students and parents are
welcome. Next, we are excited to announce that Nick
Lee has been named the new principal of MQSCA. Nick
has served as the principal at a fellow Seton school St. Ra-
fael for the previous two years. He is an experienced princi-
pal and as a West Allis native, he knows the community
well. We are excited that Nick will bring his familiarity
with the area and continue to create partnerships to grow the
school! We only have two weeks of school left, please con-
tinue to keep the school community in your prayers for a
strong finish to the 2020-2021 school year! In peace,
Jen Vega, Principal
