This Sunday the parish is offering Novena of the Holy Spirit booklets. The Novena to the Holy Spirit can be prayed over any nine day period, however, it is particularly appropriate during the nine days between Ascension Thursday (May 30 th this year), when Jesus ascended into heaven and Pentecost (June 9 th ), when the Holy Spirit descended on the first disciples. You can use this novena to pray for presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. ! ! Devotion to the Holy Spirit is the prime characteristic of the Paulist Fathers’ spirituality. This Novena was written in celebration of the bicentennial of Fr. Isaac Hecker’s birth. Servant of God Isaac Hecker, the principle founder of the Paulists, is buried here at St. Paul’s in the marble sarcophagus in the NE corner of the Church. ! ! The Novena features quotes from Fr. Hecker for each day, scripture readings from St. Paul and focuses on the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear or the Lord. Please, join with the Paulist Fathers in their devotion to the indwelling Holy Spirit by praying this novena with us. ! Fr. Frank Desiderio, CSP Pastoral Administrator !

Creció cerca de Boston y desde que se convirtió en paulista ha servido en varias parroquias paulistas desde Knoxville, TN hasta Portland, OR. P. Rick se mudará a Nueva York este julio y está feliz de regresar a St. Paul's, donde ya tiene muchos amigos.    Nueve días del Espíritu Santo !  Este domingo la parroquia está ofreciendo folletos de Novena del Espíritu Santo. La Novena al Espíritu Santo se puede rezar durante cualquier período de nueve días, sin embargo, es particularmente apropiado durante los nueve días entre el Jueves de Ascensión (30 de mayo de este año), cuando Jesús ascendió al cielo y Pentecostés (9 de junio), cuando el el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre los primeros discípulos. Puedes usar esta novena para orar por la presencia del Espíritu Santo en tu vida.   La devoción al Espíritu Santo es la característica principal de la espiritualidad de los Padres Paulistas. Esta novena fue escrita en celebración del bicentenario del p. El nacimiento de Isaac Hecker. El siervo de Dios Isaac Hecker, el fundador principal de los paulistas, está enterrado aquí en St. Paul's en el sarcófago de mármol en la esquina noreste de la Iglesia.   La novena presenta citas del p. Hecker para cada día, lecturas de las Escrituras de San Pablo y se centra en los siete regalos del Espíritu Santo: sabiduría, comprensión, consejo, fortaleza, conocimiento, piedad y temor o el Señor. Por favor, únanse a los Padres Paulistas en su devoción al Espíritu Santo que existe en nosotros con las oraciones esta novena con nosotros.   P. Frank Desiderio, CSP Administrador pastoral  !
