Dear Parents and Carers,

Last Sunday we celebrated Trinity Sunday. This feast is celebrated each year on the Sunday after Pentecost. The concept of three persons in one God is something that many of our faith, especially children, find difficult to comprehend. However, it is especially important to have some understanding of the Trinity because it is central to our faith. The understanding of the Trinity stresses that The Creator or Father has come near to us in human form in Jesus and lives in us in the Holy Spirit.
This celebration reminds us that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are working together. They are never separated, though, each one of them is a distinct divine person.  We have many lessons to learn from the Holy Trinity and what we are really celebrating is a model of unity. The most important lesson is that we can live and work together as one family, the family of God. This is because we each bear the same image of God and despite our personalities and differences, unity is possible. Relationships are at the very centre of God. God invites us into the compassionate embrace of the Trinity where we are so that we can become all that God knows we can be. Every time we make the sign of the cross we reaffirm our belief in a God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
