Entrance Hymn: Come, Holy Ghost
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
Thou font of life and fire of love,
And in our hearts take up thy rest;
And sweet anointing from above;
Come with thy grace and heav’nly aid
And sweet anointing from above.
To fill the hearts which thou hast made;

To fill the hearts which thou hast made.
Praise be to thee, Father and Son,

And Holy Spirit, with them one;
O Comforter,
And may the Son on us bestow
to thee we cry,
The gifts that from the Spirit flow;
Thou heav’nly gift of God most high;
The gifts that from the Spirit flow.

world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

From the Desk of Father Nick As the Church celebrates
Pentecost
today, we often think of the many images associated with the feast day. We imagine the Apostles gathered with Mary in the upper room, awaiting the coming of the Advocate, the Holy Spirit that Christ had promised to send them. Or
maybe we are inspired by the image of the Apostles going out among all those who had gathered from all over for the feast in Jerusalem and, enlivened by the Spirit, speaking in tongues so that everyone could understand them. However, the most vivid image associated with the
Pentecost
event is the tongues of fire that came down and rested upon the heads of the Apostles and Mary.
Fire is a powerful reality. Too much and it can destroy everything it touches. Too little and the slightest breeze can snuff it out. But when contained and nurtured it provides light and warmth and is even able to put things into motion and sustain them for great distances. The tongues of fire of the Holy Spirit that are received at
Pentecost
are images of the life of Christ that is now at work in the Apostles. Christ had told them before his death that, while he had been able to do great things, it would be better for them when he was gone from them so that those great things could now be done through them. It is amazing to think how, enlivened by the Holy Spirit, what the Apostles were able to do in order to bring the light of faith and warmth of God’s love to others, and to set in motion the life of the Church that exists to this day in order that we might truly know God in our midst.
This same gift of the Spirit is ours through Baptism, Confirmation, and the many encounters we have with God where he fills us with his grace. And the same great things that were done through the Apostles can be done through us by the power of the Holy Spirit. We can bring light and warmth to the lives of others and set into motion a path to life that is eternal. Ask each day for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit to give us the life of God to continue his work in the world.
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 shall renew the face of the earth.

COVID19 UPDATES
Last weekend at the Masses we announced that, following the new CDC and State guidelines, Bishop Zubik is permitting those who are fully vaccinated against the COVID19 virus to no longer wear face coverings while in our churches. Of course, it is up to each fully vaccinated individual whether or not they choose to follow this new guideline, and those who are not yet fully vaccinated are asked to continue to wear a face covering at this time.
In addition, a number of restrictions have been relaxed and things will begin to return back to a slightly more normal state. First, beginning Monday, May 31 (Memorial Day), we will be able to return to 100% capacity in our churches. During that week we will remove the ropes from most of the pews in our churches. We do plan, however, to keep a section of each church with every other pew roped off so that those who desire to maintain a greater social distance and wear masks can choose to do so. This section will be clearly marked and will still allow for us to accommodate increased numbers of attendees in our churches.
The next few weeks will also see a return of holy water in the fonts at the church entrances, the presentation of the gifts at the offertory; and hymn lyrics printed in the bulletins. These things will allow for greater participation of the faithful during the Mass.
Finally, we look forward to planning social activities in our parish that will allow us to connect and reconnect with one another. Look for information in upcoming bulletins and let us know if you have ideas for how we might best draw together in friendship and fellowship.

God bless!
Fr. Nick
REFLECTION
The Holy Spirit
The doors of the upper room were tightly closed. The disciples hid themselves inside for fear. Suddenly and surprisingly, a strong wind penetrated the enclosure. The doors opened and Jesus stood in their midst, offered them His peace and breathed on them with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Since then, we celebrate the birthday of the church on Pentecost Sunday. The church continues to grow, learning to breathe herself, speaking and walking by herself. Without the Holy Spirit, the church cannot live and be refreshed!
As air is to breathe, so the Holy Spirit is to live! The Church is lifeless without the Holy Spirit! Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit into His disciples not only to assure the continuity of divine vitality in the life of the church, but also to endow her with spiritual renewal and divine revitalization for years to come. It is with the refreshing breath of the Holy Spirit that the fearful disciples become courageous enough to reach out and overcome the hardships and challenges in their lives.
As any human institutions, the church has been historically plagued with many shortcomings and mistakes: Incompetence, corruptions, scandals, mismanagement and other vices. If the church were purely human or political, she would have disappeared a long time ago. Her strong standing and enduring sustainability testify to the divine guidance and presence of the Holy Spirit that sustains her.
The Holy Spirit also constantly renews the church, challenging her to be a humble servant, inspiring her to be the light and salt of the earth, opening herself to learn from others and compelling her to grow in joy and holiness.
Upon launching Vatican Council II in 1963, Pope John XXIII was questioned and doubted by many religious leaders, bishops, journalists and laity about what or if anything could be accomplished. While listening carefully to their questions and concerns, the old pope opened the window nearby and fresh air rushed in. All were revitalized as they inhaled the invigorating fresh air.
Today the Holy Spirit continues to be available to our parish family. How strong and confident we become depends on our willingness, our humility and our openness to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Covid 19 has been detrimental to our health, communal gathering and even our breathing. May the air, the oxygen of the Holy Spirit, rejuvenate and refresh our faith community and our families. As we slowly and gradually remove our face masks, may we also remove and overcome any obstacles that prevent us from receiving the gifts of peace, openness and courage from the Holy Spirit.
Come, Holy Spirit!

Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat
Feast day M May 25
17791865

Born to a winemaker in Burgundy, France, Madeleine was educated by her older brother, Louis, who was studying for the priesthood. He strove to repress her emotions and instruct her as if she were a seminarian. Her extensive formation, unusual for the time, paid off, as Madeleine was prepared for the rebirth of French Catholicism after its persecution during the French Revolution. In 1800, she and three companions began the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Madeleine was appointed superior at 23, and over the next 63 years, she oversaw the establishment of more than 100 houses and schools in 12 countries. Her order was approved by Rome in 1826, and she was canonized in 1925.

Madeleine Sophie Barat lived in turbulent times. She was only 10 when the Reign of Terror began. In the wake of the French Revolution, rich and poor both suffered before some semblance of normality returned to France. Born to some degree of privilege, Sophie received a good education. It grieved her that the same opportunity was being denied to other young girls, and she devoted herself to educating them, whether poor or welltodo. We who live in an affluent country can follow her example by helping to ensure to others the blessings we have enjoyed.

Parish Food Bank
The Food Bank for Christ Our Savior Parish is located in the garage adjacent to Northside Catholic Assumption Academy, 3854 Brighton Road. It is held on the 2nd Monday of each month from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. The next Food Bank date is June 14, 2021. The Food Bank is hoping to reach more people in need of our help. We have staples such as canned goods, cereals, pastas, and fresh fruits, vegetables, and breads courtesy of the St Vincent de Paul “Spark of Hope”. Call the parish office with any questions. Cash donations are accepted in the offertory basket at any time or can be made through a link on the parish website. Food is collected in the Food Bank bin in the vestibule of each church. Any in date food items can be left there. We are unable to use any out of date or opened containers. Thank you for your help!

Pentecost
Pentecost marks the occasion of God sending the Holy Spirit upon Jesus’ disciples after his Resurrection. The book of Acts describes how the disciples were gathered together in one place on the day of Pentecost. The Jewish feast of Pentecost (Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks) was a day that commemorated the giving of the law to Moses, a day soon to be marked as well by the giving of the Holy Spirit.

On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit gave the disciples the strength to fulfill their commission to spread the Good News of Jesus. The Solemnity of Pentecost, which crowns and fulfills the Easter season, is a good time to pray for a deeper indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
The following prayer was recited by Pope Benedict XVI in a homily on November 7, 2006. This is a prayer to the Holy Spirit.

Let us invoke him
so that he will irrigate, warm and straighten,
so that he will pervade us
with the power of his sacred flame
and renew the earth.
Let us pray for his with all our hearts
at this time, in these days.
Amen.

Father Michael Decewicz, director of Addiction Recovery Ministry, will give a presentation on Wednesday, May 19, at 7:00 p.m. in Madonna of Jerusalem Church, 201 9th Street, Sharpsburg, PA
15215.
He will speak about the 4th Station of the Cross, where Jesus meets his mother, in relation to the suffering of the family of someone with a substance abuse disorder.

Easter Scripture Study with Father DiNardo
The fifty days from the Sunday of the Resurrection to Pentecost Sunday are celebrated in joy and exultation as one feast, indeed as one “Great Sunday.” These are the days above all others in which we sing the great “Alleluia.” During this Easter season, Father DiNardo will offer the study of the Sunday readings, with a special focus on the Acts of the Apostles. The scripture study class will take place on Monday evenings from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM through May 24, 2021. You are invited to Saint Boniface Church for the scripture class or by Zoom. The Zoom links can be found on the Parish Website at www.cospgh.org.

Mission Cooperation Sunday is on June 5 & 6 in 2021. Normally, a missionary comes to visit the parish and speak during homily time at Mass.
Because of Covid19 re- strictions this year, there will be no in person talks. The mission group of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate vision and mission are of their community is the holistic development of families, especially women, girls, and children. We try to fulfill this mission in the Church, by reaching out to the people in their spiritual, moral, and material needs in towns, villages, and rural areas of India and Africa through visits to families, the sick, and homebound; pastoral, medical, and caring ministries; formal and nonformal education and other developmental activities. The people need your prayers and financial support. Please realize that while the appeal is not in person the need is greater than ever. The poor have been hit especially hard by the pandemic. So now more than ever be as generous as possible. Thank you.

We are very excited to congratulate our teen parishioner, Robert Heflin, for his recent advancement in Boy Scout Troop #348, led by Scoutmaster Bill Kuntz and Assistant Scoutmaster Mike Conroy. The convocation held at St. Paul's Cathedral on Sunday, May 16, 2021, awarded Robert his Ad Altare Dei Religious Emblem! This 9th grader is not only excelling in the Scouts, but also assists our parish as an
Altar Server and as a teen Classroom Assistant in our Religious Education Program. We are very proud of you, Robert!

To the members of Christ Our Savior Parish:
Mt 25; 4045 “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of these least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
Thank you just doesn’t seem adequate in expressing our thanks for your generosity. The donations of household items to Bethlehem’s New Start Furniture Ministry is such a blessing. The response was overwhelming. Dozens of families will benefit from the giving you expressed. It is so easy for us to take for grated the stuff we have been blessed with, but when you realize that stuff belongs to God and we are just the stewards, then it’s easier to pass along to others. Thank you for opening your hearts.
Prayers & Blessings to you. Larry Nugent
