 Pentecost Sunday

May 28, 2023

FR. JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!!

After the 10 a.m. Mass today, I will be leaving to travel to Michigan.  I will return June 7th.  In my absence, Msgr. Tom Miller will be celebrating both Masses on Sunday, June 4th.  I ask for your prayers that all who are traveling this Memorial Day weekend stay safe during their travels.

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday.  We wear red on this Sunday to celebrate this important feast.  Today, we remember the importance of the Holy Spirit and we can call on Him not just on one feast during the year...but every day.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.

And kindle in them the fire of your love.

Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.

And you will renew the face of the earth.

Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit,

You have taught the hearts of your faithful,

In the same Spirit, help us to relish what is right,

And always rejoice in your consolation.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Jazz Festival Raffle Tickets are on sale in the back of Church or in the parish office.  I hope that everyone will purchase a book or two or take some home and sell tickets.  We need your help to pay for the upfront expenses of the Jazz Festival.  Please take home a book or two today.  We are also now looking for businesses to be sponsors for the Jazz Festival.  If you have a business or friends with a possible sponsor, please contact the office and we can give you the sponsorship packet to email.

Blessings and Peace,

Fr. Jim
