Hey Y’all,
As I’m writing to y’all today, I’ve been a bit nostalgic. I find there is something quiet and lovely about nostalgia. It’s my happy place a whole lot of the time. Maybe that’s because my mind will sometimes sanitize my memories to make them happier. On Mother’s Day, I reminisced about the fun of a childhood vacation in the Ozarks. My Mom reminded me however, that for two weeks I was covered in mosquito bites and sunburn, I got food poisoning and I was thrown by a horse. Funny how I forgot the itching, scratching, fever, and bruises. Maybe, in retrospect, my emotional impression is willed to be happier, more fun, and less wrenching. I long for happy memories. This is when Disney cartoon birds gently land on my shoulder, while whistling “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. Millen-nials, please Google it, then watch it on You Tube.
But nostalgia, even if blissful, is tinged with a natural sadness. As I am remembering the past, I also know that it is no more. This is a grief we must all live with in this life of ours. Experiencing this grief, we also know that there is no potential in the past. And we are divinely meant for potential. Maybe that’s why Ecclesiastes 7:10 reminds the Christian – “Don’t say the good old days are better. That thought isn’t coming from a place of wisdom.”
We can certainly have wonderful memories. We should learn from history. We can be formed in the wisdom of the saints who have gone before us. And we must work through hurtful or awful memories with emotional re-solve, spiritual grace, and strength. However, we need to remember that every virtue should more fully apply to how we are living now, and to what we hope for in the future. Have faith, hope, and love in the now and in the future. Perhaps the most important truth for all Catholic Christians is found in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ, yester-day, today and forever.” Our relationship with Christ redeems and heals our past, provides a pattern for us to em-ulate in the here and now, and invites us to hope into the future fearlessly, without reticence.
Now, this is all a rather long preamble to some news I have to tell you. Bishop Vann has asked me to leave Holy Trinity on June 30th and begin work with a parish in Huntington Beach. I will begin there on July 1st. I hope this doesn’t come as a surprise. I’ve been anticipating this call away from Holy Trinity for the last few years. I have glo-rious memories of my past 15 years. I have almost no bad memories… ok, maybe one or two… but those memo-ries only point out my own folly or weakness, so they are valuable reminders to continue improving.
Still, I have a grief in leaving. I will miss seeing all y’all, serving all y’all, and being with all y’all. I know that there is greatness in store for each one of you. As a community there is such great potential for Holy Trinity to grow and mature in faith, hope, and love. And then, to evangelize, bringing love, hope, and meaning to Coto, Ladera and Rancho M.V. - what wonderful opportunity there is here!
Now, before I wax poetic too much more, there is still more news. Fr. John Nguyen is also moving at the same time. He is going to serve a parish in Fountain Valley. You’ll hear more from Fr. John about this. This is really his news to relate to you all, so I will have him write to you soon.
Holy Trinity will get a new Pastor and a new Parochial Vicar on July 1, 2020. I will tell you that they are both experi-enced priests with fine resumes. They are not only resolute, but happy, to come to Holy Trinity. More formal intro-ductions will be sent along in the near future.
The parish staff – Andrew, Angela, Anthony, Casey, Chentel, Lyssa, Patti, Rey, and Susan – will stick around, wel-coming and working with the new priests. Ministry as we know it will continue as seamlessly as CoVid-19 will al-low. The bottom line is this… the Church always moves forward, progresses, changes, adapts and adopts, while following, and extolling, Jesus Christ, yesterday, today, and forever.
So look for some more emails about all of this. We’ll keep you all informed as we work through things over the next 6 weeks or so. Say a little prayer for Fr. John and me. Say a little prayer for the Pastor and Parochial Vicar to come. Say a little prayer for the parish staff. And say a little prayer, keeping the parish’s potential in mind! Finally, thank God that the good work he has begun in us will continue until the day of Christ Jesus’ return!
Sincerely, in God’s grace, I remain yours,
Fr. Reynold
Virtual VBS 2020 Monday, June 15th-Friday, June 19th, 2020
We are so grateful that we can continue to offer a wonderful week of games, Bible stories, crafts, sci-ence experiments, faith and fun! Although we will not be able to come together as a community in per-son, we are excited to offer a virtual version of VBS so all HT Kids can learn and worship this summer! 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 experi-ments, Bible buddies and companion book, instructions for water games and themed snacks, and ac-cess to all VBS videos used during our virtual VBS, and SUPPORT THE PARISH! What if I can’t make the live stream? We understand that it might be difficult to plan our the month of June at the moment. 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. We will need some help from Middle School and High School volunteers to assist with prepara-tions and filming online content. Please contact Erin Watson at [email protected] for more information. How do I register? All registration will be done online at our website: www.holytrinityladera.org/learn/vbs/Unfortunately we are unable to offer a cost reduction 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 scholarship is desired, please contact Erin Watson via email and we will do our best to accommodate.
The Ascension of the Lord Look, Up in the Sky! Around holidays, people tend to look fondly back on past celebrations and romanticize old relation-ships. For some, remembering the past is the best part of their holiday. That is the image we get from the first reading as the apostles look up to heaven after the Ascension. They think it is Jesus' last Resur-rection appearance and that they will never see him again. Maybe they were still amazed at seeing him ascend that way. Or maybe they were remembering all the things he said and did with them. We too sometimes look at the great feasts of Christmas and Easter in that way. We may dwell on the beauty of the decorations, on the innocence of the baby Jesus, on the horror of his passion and death, or on the wonder of his resurrection. Then when the holy day is over, we go back to our normal routine. Perhaps we need an angel to chide us for "looking at the sky." The angels were trying to tell the apostles two things. One was that Jesus would return as he left--in glo-ry. This was not a time to say goodbye but a time of hope; the Lord who had changed their lives so radi-cally would change the world next. While they certainly should remember Jesus and all he taught them, they should also expect to see him again. Once they received the Holy Spirit, they would see how Jesus was present in the church, the mystical Body of Christ. The second thing the angels were telling them was to begin following Jesus' command to spread the good news to all nations. They would soon realize that Jesus was alive in them, not just as a fond memory, but with the power of his Spirit. With this power they would do mighty deeds in Jesus' name and be his witnesses to the world. Because of what the apostles accomplished, we are now Jesus' witnesses to the world. We celebrate his death and resurrection not as a fond memory, but to encourage each other to spread the Good News. We too have the hope of seeing Jesus come in glory, even as we see him now with the eyes of faith. Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
ADULT CONFIRMATION Are you an adult baptized Catholic with a desire for reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation in the year 2020? This is for you! For “by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the bap-tized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spir-it. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.” Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285 Holy Trinity offers preparation classes seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation once a year for Catho-lic adults. The journey is four must attend classes with online instruction beginning soon. Please visit https://holytrinityladera.org/learn/adult-faith-formation/adult-confirmation-registration-2020/, and complete the registration form.

Dear Parish Family, As you are aware, Fr. Reynold and Fr. John will be moving to their new assignments on July 1st. The cur-rent COVID-19 requirements will prevent our abil-ity 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 physi-cal 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 reflec-tions 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 contrib-ute to their retirement or a give a monetary gift of thanks! If you have any questions, please contact Angela at [email protected]. Thank you and God bless-
