Dynamic Parish is a parish-based initiative focused on individual and parish growth and renewal, spearheaded by Matthew Kelly’s “Dynamic Catholic” team.

Of the approximately 15,000 U.S. Catholic parishes, Most Holy Trinity has been selected as one of 21 parishes in 4 U.S. dioceses to be part of its pilot program.

Over the next 5 years, and with an investment of resources of approximately a million dollars, Dynamic Catholic will provide resources, materials, events, and dedicated consultants who will assist Most Holy Trinity in incorporating best practices for our parish’s growth and our parishioners’ engagement.

If you missed the introduction to this initiative, you can watch the 5-minute Dynamic Parish launch video below, and you can read the Introductory Booklet HERE.

In addition, read a recap of our local participation in the Clarion, HERE.

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN STUDY, "THE TURNING POINT"
WITH FR. DAMIAN

Our incoming parochial vicar, Father Damian Zablocki, will be leading a 9-week bible study on the Gospel of John, called "The Turning Point," on Tuesday evenings, beginning July 9th at 6:30 p.m. 

This experience will introduce you to eight miraculous encounters with Jesus in a new and personal way. What a great opportunity to learn about and grow closer to our Lord, as well as to get to know MHT's newest clergy member. 

Babysitting will be arranged for these sessions if enough parents of young children register in advance. Exact child count will be needed to plan accordingly.  
To register for babysitting, contact the office at 892-0642, or email Terri Derbes at  tderbes@mhtcc.net. A donation to help defray the cost of babysitting would be appreciated.

There is no fee for this study, but please register so that we can have sufficient materials onhand. You can register online (below) or by calling the church office

SUMMER BOOK GIVE-AWAY



Looking for a great fictional summer read? We’ve got one for you!

Adults, as well as kids twelve and up, will enjoy Three Days. Based on the story about 12-year-old Jesus getting lost in the temple, this exciting, biblical novel will intrigue your imagination and deepen your faith as you relax and recharge during the summer months.

Courtesy of Dynamic Catholic and distributed at mass the last weekend in June!

BETTER THAN A TIE!!

Fathers and adult men of the parish, it’s our pleasure to gift you with Curtis Martin’s book, Made for More on Father’s Day weekend. Curtis is an award-winning speaker and author who uses humor, stories, and his own life experiences to communicate how faith in God is lived out in everyday life.

This quick and easy read can help readers go beyond the distractions of the world, so as to discover one’s true purpose and potential, and see how we are “made for more” than what our culture has to offer.
 
Such insight can help set you on a path toward true peace and contentment that will last for the rest of your life—and into eternity!

BETTER SUNDAY!!

At our recent BETTER SUNDAY event, Dynamic Parish’s Scot Landry shared a simple habit that can lead to a better Sunday, an improved experience of the mass, and a stronger relationship with God.
 
If you have not yet received a Mass Journal to help you recall and reflect on insight from mass, you can pick one up in the narthex or Church office.

And if you missed the BETTER SUNDAY event, you can view it in the sidebar!

WHY I LOVE BEING CATHOLIC!!

The uplifting testimony of why fellow parishioners love being Catholic has been shared in the bulletin and before mass. 
 
But we’d still like YOU to share YOUR thoughts as well – to be included in our own MHT version!
 
Please submit your answers to any or all of the following 3 questions by the end of June at WILBC.net  (You can submit anonymously, if you’d prefer!)

• Why do you love being Catholic?
• What is your favorite memory as a Catholic?
• As a Catholic, what are your hopes for the future?
