Welcome to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Cumbernauld
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity invites us into the mystery of God —Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — three persons in perfect unity. In the first reading from Proverbs 8:22-31, Wisdom speaks of its presence before creation, rejoicing in God’s work and delighting in humanity. This passage reminds us that God’s wisdom has always been at the heart of creation, guiding and sustaining all things.
In the Gospel reading from John 16:12-15, Jesus reassures His disciples that the Spirit of Truth will come, guiding them into all truth. The Holy Spirit does not speak independently but reveals what comes from the Father and the Son, glorifying Christ and making known the divine mystery. This passage highlights the deep relationship within the Trinity—Father, Son, and Spirit working together in perfect harmony.
Trinity Sunday calls us to reflect on this divine communion and how we are invited into it. The love of the Trinity is not distant but deeply personal, drawing us into relationship with God and one another. As we celebrate this solemnity, we are reminded that faith is not just about understanding—it is about living in the presence of God’s love.

We, the parishioners of St. Joseph’s Cumbernauld, following the example of our Patron and Protector, believe that each member is called to ownership, discipleship, and evangelisation to our parish and local community.
The parish is a community of God’s people centered on the word of God and the Eucharist:
where all seek to be loving and caring, welcoming, forgiving, serving and healing;
where the poor can go for help, the lonely for company and the sorrowing for comfort;
where, with obedience to our own faith and respect for other faiths, we seek unity with all;
where, in a spirit of mission, we aim to promote God’s glory throughout the world;
where there is a passion for justice and peace;
where, as stewards of creation, we care and protect the environment locally and globally; and,
where Christ is the way and the truth and the life.
We do all of this as members of the Catholic community within the
Archdiocese of Glasgow and the universal Church.
