This Sunday is
TRINITY SUNDAY


The Holy Trinity grants me Its life abundantly,
by the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The Three Divine Persons live in me.
When God loves,
He loves with all His Being,
with all the power of His Being. ( #392)

Join Us This Sunday
for Peter's Profession

Having concluded a two year novitiate, Peter will make his first Profession at 11 a.m. Mass on June 16th. He will become MDM's first Consecrated Layman, which is a different vocation from that of a religious brother or priest. (Maria Felicitas was a Consecrated Laywoman.) Please keep Peter in your prayers as he prepares for this important step.

We Ask For Your Assistance

Summer heat and summer travel are upon us. You may be welcoming visitors and vacationers. At the Mission we are happy that you bring your friends and family to Mass with you, but please inform them of our request for appropriate dress. This saves embarrassment for them and for us.

The Mission is a monastery and it is our Community's home. This is our Community Mass. We welcome all those who want to share our Mass; we simply ask that they dress in a manner that shows reverence for the occasion. The altar servers put on their albs, Father wears his vestments, and the congregation wear clothes that are appropriate for attending Mass.


Minimum Dress Requirements
for Men & Women
  • No shorts
  • No tanks, spaghetti straps or sleeveless tops
  • No low-cut necklines
  • No mid-thigh hemlines


We truly appreciate your help in making people aware of our request for appropriate dress while attending Mass at the Mission. We think Our Lord appreciates it too.
SUMMER SCHEDULE

No Weekday Mass or Adoration

Sunday Mass will begin at 9 a.m.

Holy Soul Brick Memorials
Between the Holy Souls and us is a relationship
of profound mutual love and respect.

When the shrine to the Holy Souls was first built, we weren't envisioning a grand plan that included a Community cemetery and Holy Soul Memorials esplanade. But evidently God was. We are so happy with how they all tie together.


PLEASE NOTE: THESE MEMORIALS ARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE DECEASED. SOON WE HOPE TO HAVE A SEPARATE SPACE FOR THOSE OF US STILL HANGING AROUND.
If you wish to purchase a memorial brick:

New MDM Video Talk
FRUIT OF THE DESERT?
When is the desert fruitful?
When you meet God there.

This is a video of Fr. John Mary's talk at the Encounter With Jesus Retreat. We all agree, you can't hear it too often.

All donations, large or small, are appreciated and put to immediate good use!

The Mission depends entirely on donations in order to carry out our ministry. We do not receive financial support from the Archdiocese.
Please pray to see if God wants you to help support His Mission of Divine Mercy.
