Dear Friends:
T
oday, the Church celebrates the great feast of Pentecost. This is the day when the Holy
Spirit first came upon the apostles to breathe life into the Church. We are all familiar that the
Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Holy Trinity. The role of the Spirit is to give life to the
church and to us. We first receive the Holy Spirit in Baptism, but it is in Confirmation that
we receive the fullness of the Spirit. When we receive Confirmation we receive the seven
gifts of the Spirit which are to guide us on our journey in life. They are Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Right Judgment, Courage, Piety and Wonder and Awe. Today, I ask
all of us to reflect on these gifts and what a blessing they bring under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Yours in Christ,
Very Rev. Michael A. Carrano

IMPORTANT NEWS!
DONATIONS TO YOUTH MINISTRY
As mentioned a few weeks ago, we are taking “a
look” at every aspect of our parish life so as to
make it more vibrant. In light of that, next weekend, at all the Masses, you will be asked to review
every aspect of our Liturgy. Each priest will explain the short process which will only take a few
minutes of your time. Thank you!
The students of our Youth Ministry Program plan to
visit the nursing home, so that we can spend quality
time with our seniors. There are many people there
who don’t have family and spend most of the time
alone and depressed. As part of our visit, we plan to
play some games with them. We would like to ask
for your generosity in providing us with some board
games such as monopoly, chess, scrabble, etc.
These items can be dropped off after the masses next
weekend to the main sacristy or during the week to
the Rectory. Thank you for your generosity.
“When God is with us, we don’t have to be afraid
of anything” Bl. Pier ~ Giorgio Frassati
