Parish Family,

We are well on our way to the new buildings. With the first 205 pledges we have fulfilled and surpassed our first threshold. Great Work! Together with funding for school and parish space, we have also supported seminarian formation, Newman Center ministry, assistance to the poor and the growth of Catholic Education across the whole diocese. Now, we are ascending to our final goal of $4.4 million. In this phase, 100% of everything raised goes straight to our local parish project. We can be gratefully proud of this for many generations to come. Take joy in your offering as you lift up a part of what God has entrusted to you.

Blessed is the Father, who lets the Lord be his guiding hand. Whose faith brings his family courage. Whose wisdom comes from God and whose children Still stand and honor him.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.

Today we celebrate Pentecost which is the solemn descent of the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier, on the Christian Church. The Feast of the Pentecost celebrates at least three essential things in the faith of the church:

1. It marks or celebrates the end of Easter. For Easter is not one-day celebration; it is rather a 50-day celebration.
2. Pentecost also celebrates the Holy Spirit, the 3rd person of the Blessed Trinity, God Himself.
3. It celebrates the launching, the first appearance in public of the church of Christ.
