Special Holy Hour
SUNDAY, June 6 - 7:00 PM
Our Lady of Hope
St. Gabriel Church
Please come and honor the
Sacred Heart of Jesus
and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Many graces will be bestowed
upon those who adore Him in the
Blessed Sacrament!
We will pray to strengthen our
faith during difficult times and
pay homage to Jesus who loves us
unconditionally.
Everyone is welcome to attend!
“Of all prayers the Rosary is the most beautiful and the
richest in graces; of all it is the one which is most pleasing
to Mary, the Virgin Most Holy. Therefore, love the Rosary
and recite it every day with devotion: this is the testament
which I leave unto you so that you may
Remember me by it.”
~ St. Pius X
For information on the Legion of Mary contact Marlene Yannone

Live Jesus
Inspiration for the week
The immensity, scope, intimacy and pervasiveness of God’s presence is too
intense for the human mind. We often limit God by our expectations of Him and
have a hard time just letting God be God. Some people all too easily lose faith
because God does not meet their expectations. Worse still, the idea of faith is
rejected altogether by others because of polarities and experiences they have
that don’t square with who they need God to be.
The Holy Trinity is one of those teachings best encountered rather than
dissected. It is only through being present with the Trinity that we can
experience both the immensity and otherness of God’s presence as well as the
intimacy of the God who wants us to call Him “dad.”
We feel the loving guidance of a God who wants to take us from fear and gives
us confidence. Our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow is a God of all ages
whose three-fold Presence invades all senses, seasons and times. God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is
much more than any of our expectations if we simply let God be who God is.

and hard work, the members of the

Faith Formation
and parents for their hard work, dedication, patience
and understanding during this challenging year. Your
continued efforts are greatly appreciated.
We pray for a more ‘normal’ year beginning in the fall
and will follow a liturgy-centered model rooted in the
experience of the Sunday Mass and continue with the
guidelines.
Complacency can be a great temptation in life and of-
ten caused by the opinion that everything is going ‘good enough’ or there is no hope that
programs can change. One of the good experiences coming from this challenging year is
that it showed us there is no room for complacency in our Faith Formation Programs.
In order to understand what we are doing well and what we can improve, we would like par-
ent input about onsite, virtual and home study programs, sacrament preparation, and family
catechesis. If you would like to share your ideas, please email cvater@olhpgh.org. Once we
have a list of parents who would like to participate, we will set a date for an open discussion.
