Dear Parishioners, This weekend we celebrate the solemnity of Pentecost. This celebration is about the Holy Spirit coming down on the apostles and the early Christian disciples gathered in prayer. In

the Acts of the Apostles we read, “Now there were devout Jews from every nation under the heaven staying in Jerusalem.” In fact the Jews gathered to celebrate Pentecost. There were three feasts celebrated in the Jewish tradition, the first being the feast of the unleavened bread or Passover. The third was the feast of tents or booths, celebrating the harvest of grapes and olives. The second was Pentecost, the Greek name for fifty days or seven weeks. It was also called the ‘feast of weeks’. The Jews gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the feast of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit came down on them. They began to speak in different tongues. The Holy Spirit is the soul of the Church. The Holy Spirit works in the church unseen. The Holy Spirit brings about renewal and transformation in the life of the church. The feast of Pentecost is an annual invitation to the Church to look into itself and discover its soul. Yours Sincerely, Fr. Jose Shaji, Pastor

On May 20th, join your fellow parishioners for wine and cheese along with stimulating conversation following the 5:00pm Mass. The

gathering will take place in Centennial Hall.

PENTECSOT SUNDAY-REMEMBERING AT THE DOOR What was the fir st thing you did today as you entered the church? The very first ritual gesture we are invited to make is the dipping of our hand in a font or vessel of holy water. We then make a sign of the cross. For so many of us this gesture has become routine and its potential impact passes us by. Obviously, we make this gesture to remind us that baptism was our entry, our initiation, into the Church. Each time we come to worship, we remind ourselves that we are baptized believers. In order to recover the meaning of this gesture, many people have begun to add an extra remembrance to this gesture. When making the sign of the cross with the holy water, consider bringing to mind those who initially brought you to the sacrament of baptism-your parents and godparents. BAPTISM AS THE ROOT OF VOCATION On this great feast of Pentecost, when we celebrate the inrushing of the Holy Spirit, it is good for us to recall our own baptism. Baptism is at the foundation of each Christian's call, or vocation, to share in the ministry of Jesus Christ. For some, this means a response to the call to ordained ministry. For the vast majority of us, our vocation is played out in life's relationships and everyday situations. Our ordained leaders have the responsibility of inspiring us to do the work of building the reign of God in those places where our daily routines take us: school, work, the gym, the supermarket, the mall, our dinner tables, around the television, or at the computer. At our baptism, we were given the gift of the Holy Spirit. In confirmation, we were sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The power to share in the ministry of Christ is planted within us. Let us be open to rediscovering the power of the Holy Spirit on this Pentecost and throughout the coming year.

Next week, our second collection is for the Catholic Communication Campaign. This campaign connects people with Christ, here and around the world in developing countries, through the internet, television, radio, and print media. And fifty percent of funds collected remain in our diocese to fund local communications efforts. Your support helps spread the gospel message! To learn more, visit www.usccb.org/ccc.
