Pentecost Prayer 

On this day of Pentecost, we are thankful for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Just as the disciples were empowered to share the Good News of Jesus, so too are we. We pray that the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, generosity, mildness, selfcontrol, modesty and chastity, will come to grow in us as we grow in our love for you, God. May the Holy Spirit be with us. Amen.

NEW! 8 Ways to Live a Merciful Life


Pope Francis has awakened the world to the need for mercy, and urges each of us to "travel this path of mercy." Now your parishioners can learn eight very practical ways to become more merciful -- things like avoiding gossip, refusing to retaliate when offended, accepting mercy from others -- each including a simple reflection question.

 
 
We Celebrate Pentecost
Happy Birthday Church! That's right, on June 8, fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost. It is often called 'the birthday of the Church' because on this day the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles and they understood their mission go and teach Christ "to the nations." The power of the Holy Spirit to dwell within us and transform our lives is immense; it is also difficult for kids to get. This month's TCK activities are designed to make the Holy Spirit more real for kids. Harness the invisible wind around you and watch for joy and delight to unfold.
