NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation, he came down from
heaven,
(All bow while saying:)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

A NOTE FROM DEACON PAUL HAVERSTOCK
Dear Friends,
Greetings in Christ! In a few
short weeks I will be returning
home to be ordained to the
priesthood along with seven of
my classmates. How quickly the
time in seminary has flown by!
Thank you all for your support
over these six years. I would not
be here today were it not for your
prayers and encouragement. I am
writing first of all to ask you all
to redouble your prayers for my classmates and me in these final
weeks leading up to ordination. Please pray that God would make
us good and holy priests, and ask Mary to intercede for us. I am
also writing to invite all of you to attend my priestly ordination
and first Mass. The ordination is on Saturday, May 28th at 10am
at the Cathedral. It would be a joy to see many of you there. My
first Mass will be the next day at our beloved Holy Family for the
11am Mass: it will be Corpus Christi Sunday. Even if you are a
faithful attendee of the Saturday vigil Mass or the 9am, please
consider coming to the 11am Mass that day. A plenary indulgence
will be available for all who attend. There will be a reception
afterwards where I would love to offer each of you my first
blessing. God bless you all! Your seminarian sons Nick Hagen
and I send you our greetings from the Eternal City.
In Christ,
Deacon Paul Haverstock
