The patronage of this church and the parish belonging to it has not been given to one of the (almost infinite) many saints, but rather placed under the protection of the "Holy Trinity". The following words come from Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger) about the mystery of faith that in Christianity we worship the ONE God in THREE persons: "On the Sunday after Pentecost we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. Through the Holy Spirit, who helps us understand the words of Jesus and leads us to the whole truth, believers can gain knowledge of the innermost nature of God and discover that He is by no means infinite loneliness, but rather a community of light and love, life given and received in an eternal dialogue between the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit - loving, beloved and love, to use the words of St. Augustine." (Speech by Pope Benedict XVI, at the Angelus on June 11, 2006)
