ST. WILLIAM CATHOLIC CHURCH / OUR LADY OF GRACE CATHOLIC CHURCH
FORT LUPTON, CO
My dear Parishioners,
Every year, Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago offers a special Mass for couples who are celebrating their fiftieth anniversary. There were so many couples celebrating their fiftieth anniversary of marriage that families and friends were forced
to watch the Mass from an adjoining building! The term Pentecost literally means "fiftieth" and was celebrated as a feast on
the fiftieth day following Passover in the time of Jesus. Today, of course, we know and celebrate Pentecost as the birthday of
the Church, when the disciples were unified by the Holy Spirit and empowered as one to bring the Word to the world.
The final act of the New Covenant is the gift of the Holy Spirit, who is described as "Advocate" and "Spirit of truth."
Jesus tells us in today's Gospel reading from John that all that God has given him will now be given to us. In this sense, the
truth that we are given is the one truth which cannot be denied, and that is that the only path to the kingdom of heaven and
the saving grace of our Lord is through true, unfaltering belief and love in Jesus Christ. And that truth is not to be kept to
ourselves, but joyfully shared with others without fear or doubt. It is up to us.
On the day of Pentecost, the Church was given to the world through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. "The
gift of the Spirit ushers in a new era in the 'dispensation of the mystery,' the age of the Church, during which Christ manifests, makes present, and communicates his work of salvation through the liturgy of his Church" (CCC 1076). From a tiny spark
2,000 years ago, the Church has blazed forth like a raging fire throughout the world. Each and every one of us who believes
has been given a part in this celebration, a gift we cannot deny.
Fr. Greg
Please pray for the repose of the souls of those who died:
Why is Pentecost also called “Whitsunday” in Englishspeaking countries?
Today we celebrate Pentecost, the New Testament Greek
name for fifty days after Easter, to honor the presence, role and
function of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians. Pentecost is
also the Jewish Feast of Weeks or Shavuot, exactly fifty days after
Passover, celebrating the giving of the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai, while thanking God for the first fruits of the grain harvest.
Pentecost is also known as “Whitsunday” in Englishspeaking countries. The origin of Whitsunday is uncertain, but the
most common explanation has Whitsunday originating in Old English as the term for "White Sunday," a reference to the white robes
worn by those newly baptized at Pentecost. The early Church traditionally baptized only on Easter and Pentecost, which are liturgical
celebrations with strong baptismal themes.
A less common explanation is that Whitsunday originally
meant "Wisdom Sunday," in honor of the outpouring of the Spirit of
Wisdom celebrated on this day. In baptism, the primary gift of wisdom, along with the other gifts of the Spirit descend upon the newly
-initiated, as they did on the apostles on that first Pentecost.
Whatever name Christians use for the feast of Pentecost,
the essence of the feast centers on the role of the Spirit as the source
of unity, wisdom and guidance on our faith journey.
Today would be an excellent opportunity to gather with
fellow Christians to thank God for the gift of the Spirit and to pray
for wisdom in living out our Christian lives.

ST. WILLIAM
Stewardship is what I do after I say
“I believe!”
ST. WILLIAM’S CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY
Did you know...
… that the growth of St. William’s as a parish was brought about by the
arrival to Fort Lupton of agricultural and food-processing plant workers
who were mostly Hispanic Catholics;
...that in 1955, the Archbishop of Denver, ArchbishopVehr, and Msgr.
Mulroy, director of Catholic Charities, formed a Special Committee on
Migrant Labor Problems, which focused on the Fort Lupton Farm Labor
Center;
...that in 1955, the pastor of St. William’s, Fr. John W. Scannell, moved his
residence from Platteville to Fort Lupton, owing to the fact that Fort
Lupton had more Catholic families as members (500 families), while St.
Nicholas’ in Platteville only had 125 families.
ANIVERSARIO CENTENARIO DE SAN GUILLERMO
Supiste...
…que el crecimiento de San Guillermo como una parroquia era ocasionado
por la llegada a Fort Lupton de los trabajadores agrícolas y del procedimiento de alimentos, quienes eran hispanos católicos en la mayoría;
...que en 1955, el Arzobispo de Denver, Mons. Vehr, y Mons. Mulroy, el
director de las Caridades Católicas, formaron un Comité Especial sobre
Problemas de Labor Migratorios, que enfocó sobre el Centro de Labor
Ranchera de Fort Lupton;
...que en 1955, el cura párroco de San Guillermo, el Pdre. John W. Scannell,
cambió de residencia desde Platteville a Fort Lupton, debido al hecho de
que Fort Lupton tenía más familias católicas como miembros (500
familias), mientras tanto San Nicolás en Platteville solo tenía 125 familias.
SOLEMN HIGH MASS ON JUNE 21
IN HONOR OF ST. WILLIAM
While the feast of St. William is really on June 25, however, for practical and
convenient reasons, “St. William Day” will be celebrated on June 21, Sunday. Archbishop
Chaput will celebrate a Solemn High Mass, bilingually in English and Spanish, together
with some other former priests who have served at St. William’s. The Mass will be at 12:00
noon. (Therefore, there will be no 11:15 a.m. Mass in English nor the 1:00 p.m. Mass in
Spanish).
Since this is the Mass that celebrates the 100 years of existence of St. William
Parish, we are urging our parishioners to attend this historical Mass. Save the date and be
part of history! After the Mass, there will be a potluck/picnic on the church grounds. We
will have music and entertainment as well as games for the young ones and for the once
young.
MISA SOLEMNE EL 21 DE JUNIO
EN HONOR DE SAN GUILLERMO
Aunque la fiesta de San Guillermo cae de hecho el 25 de junio, sin embargo, por
razones de practicalidad y conveniencia, el“Día de San Guillermo” se celebrará el 21 de
junio, domingo. Monseñor Chaput va a celebrar la Misa Solemne, bilinguemente en inglés
y español, juntamente con otros más sacerdotes quienes han servido aquí en San Guillermo.
La Misa será a las 12:00 de mediodía. (Entonces, no habrá Misa de 11:15 a.m. en inglés ni
tampoco aquella de 1:00 p.m. en español).
Puesto que esta es la Misa que celebrará los 100 años de existencia de la Parroquia
de San Guillermo, estamos pidiendo a nuestros feligreses de asistir esta Misa histórica.
Guarden la fecha y participen en un hecho histórico! Despues de la Misa, habrá un potluck/picnic en el patio de la iglesia. Tendremos música y entretenamientos, como tambien
juegos para los jóvenes y los adultos.

The Christian Community, described in the Acts of the
Apostles, understood and practiced stewardship. The believers did not claim anything as their own, but held everything in common, and distributed to each whatever was
needed.
