FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
SOLEMNITY OF PENTECOST - BIRTH DAY OF THE CHURCH: The account of the day of
Pentecost is found in our first reading, from the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.
Fifty days after the resurrection there was a spectacular manifestation of the power of the
Spirit. Jews and proselytes, gathered from the nations for the Jewish feast of Pentecost,
witness the power of the Spirit and hear the preaching of the apostles each in his own
tongue. This event launches the mission to the whole world. Jesus is longer visibly present,
but his Spirit is with us to remind us of Jesus, and bestows gifts in abundance for the
benefit of the whole Church. Do I allow the Holy Spirit to transform my life?
COFFEE & DONUTS
There will be a meet, greet & get together after
the 9 and 11:30 a.m. Masses with coffee and
donuts. This is to appreciate all the support for
the Kitchen Shower and an opportunity to meet
fellow parishioners and get acquainted.

DIOCESE EVENTS
Prayer for the Year of Consecrated Life 2015: O God, throughout the ages you have called women
and men to pursue lives of perfect charity through the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and
obedience. During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses
of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters who, having
found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever
and ever. Amen.
Oración para el Año de la Vida Consagrada 2015:
Oh Dios, a lo largo de los siglos se han llamado las mujeres y los hombres a llevar una vida de perfección de la caridad a través de los consejos evangélicos de pobreza, castidad y obediencia. Durante
este Año de la Vida Consagrada, te damos gracias por estos valientes testigos de la fe y modelos de
inspiración. Su búsqueda de una vida santa nos enseña a hacer una oferta más perfecta de nosotros
mismos a usted. Continuar para enriquecer su Iglesia por convocarse a hijos e hijas que, después de
haber encontrado la perla de gran precio, atesorar el reino de los cielos por encima de todas las cosas.
Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, un solo
Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
