“Migrants and refugees remind the Church of her pilgrim dimension, perpetually journeying towards her final homeland, sustained by a hope that is a theological virtue.”

—Pope Leo XIV, Message for the 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees

The history of the U.S. Catholic Church, like the history of the United States itself, is very much intertwined with the phenomenon of migration. The first American citizen to be canonized a saint, Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, was the embodiment of this. An immigrant from Italy, she adopted this country as her own. While often facing discrimination and seemingly impossible odds, she never succumbed to hopelessness. With relentless faith, she accompanied her fellow immigrants and others living on the margins of society with a great missionary zeal.

But Mother Cabrini’s challenges, and the challenges of those she served, are not unique among the generations of Catholics and immigrants in general who have come to this land. This is not just a matter of history. It is a present reality in the life of our Church and nation.

After a time away, we are proud to welcome back Alcoholics Anonymous to Most Holy Trinity – St. Mary. The group “Men and Women of Traditions” will be meeting in the cafeteria below the church on Mondays and Thursdays at 7:00 PM. Enter by the side entrance off of Montrose.

These meetings are in English and based on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Twelve Traditions of AA. If you or someone you know has a desire to stop drinking, you are warmly invited to attend.

All current Sunday Readers are invited to a meeting on Sunday, Nov 2 at 10:30 in ENGLISH in the cafeteria and Friday, Nov 7th at after Mass at 7:30 PM in SPANISH in the Church.

We’ll reflect on the meaning of this ministry, share best practices, review updated parish protocols, and distribute the new lector workbooks.

Because this ministry is so important, everyone’s presence is required. If you have a schedule conflict, please let us know.

As we enter cold and flu season, please remember: if you’re sick, coughing, or not feeling well, it’s best to stay home and join us online for Mass. That’s why we livestream—to help you stay connected while keeping others safe.

We also strongly encourage receiving Holy Communion in the hand, which is more hygienic and helps reduce the spread of illness.

We are happy to announce that our Sunday Masses are now available on our new parish YouTube Channel @Trinity-StMaryBK. Remember the Mass is also available live on our parish website trinity-stmary.org. This Mass does not fulfill your obligation to attend Mass. Those who are sick or homebound are not required to attend Mass.
