Pastoral Planning

May 24 ~ Pentecost Sunday The birthday of the Church! After receiving the Holy Spirit the apostles spoke of the “mighty deeds of God.” Each of us has experienced mighty deeds: the birth of a child, passing a difficult test, getting a job, attending a peaceful, happy death – these can be mighty deeds of God in a person’s life. Do you have the courage to speak of this to others? The Holy Spirit gives each of special Gifts, including courage and wonder in the Lord. Unwrap the gifts, put them to good use, and renew the face of the earth.

May 31 ~ The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Here it is – we’ve been commissioned, right along with the disciples. Go. Baptize. Teach. All imperatives. Equally important – perhaps even more important – is the last line: “…. I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Evangelization is the work of the whole Church – and we’re not alone. He is with us ALWAYS.
