Welcome to Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church

Dear Pelican Valley ACC Members,

We celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity... Father, Son and Holy Spirit! God is first of all “Three Persons” and so that means that God is PERSONAL. And God is relational. This mystery defies our intellectual explanation, but as Deacon Mario observed last week on the Feast of Pentecost, God didn’t create us as humans who “know all the answers”. However, we know we are created in God’s image. So we are relational...and we are invited into a personal relationship with the Blessed Trinity. Let’s think today about our most important relationships, with family members and friends, and how they reflect (or need to improve on) the love of the Trinity. Let’s also take some time to praise and thank the Father who created us, the Son who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit who continues to guide us and lead us in ways that are life-giving and truthful. One of the roles in parish life that helps guide us as a community in the image of the Trinity is that of TRUSTEE. Trustees are close advisors of the pastor and have the welfare of all concerns of the parish at heart. We have some openings! Two trustees who have generously served their parishes for many years and are now retiring are Linda Krause at St. Elizabeth and Pat Krekelberg at St. Leonard. If you wish to nominate yourself or a fellow parishioner as a new trustee please let me know!

Happy Feast of the Trinity!

Fr. Alan

Estimados miembros de Pelican Valley ACC,

Celebramos la solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad... ¡Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo! Dios es ante todo "Tres Personas" y eso significa que Dios es PERSONAL. Y Dios es relacional. Este misterio desafía nuestra explicación intelectual, pero como observó el diácono Mario la semana pasada en la fiesta de Pentecostés, Dios no nos creó como humanos que "conocen todas las respuestas". Sin embargo, sabemos que somos creados a imagen de Dios. Así que somos relacionales... y estamos invitados a una relación personal con la Santísima Trinidad. Pensemos hoy en nuestras relaciones más importantes, con familiares y amigos, y cómo reflejan (o necesitan mejorar) el amor de la Trinidad. Tomemos también un tiempo para alabar y agradecer al Padre que nos creó, al Hijo que nos redimió y al Espíritu Santo que continúa guiándonos y guiándonos de maneras que son vivificantes y veraces. Uno de los roles en la vida parroquial que nos ayuda a guiarnos como comunidad a imagen de la Trinidad es el de FIDEICOMISARIO. Los fideicomisarios son asesores cercanos del párroco y tienen el bienestar de todas las preocupaciones de la parroquia en el corazón. ¡Tenemos algunas vacantes! Dos fideicomisarios que han servido generosamente a sus parroquias durante muchos años y ahora se jubilan son Linda Krause en St. Elizabeth y Pat Krekelberg en St. Leonard. Si desea nominarse a sí mismo o a un feligrés como nuevo fideicomisario, ¡hágamelo saber!

¡Feliz Fiesta de la Trinidad!

P. Alan
