======Blessed Pentecost to all our parishioners and friends! The RED we see in abundance today is just a visual reminder of the fire of the Spirit. The Sevenfold Gifts of the Holy Spirit continue to manifest themselves in the entire and diverse community of believers. Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, courage, piety, and fear of the Lord have their unique presence within all believers. As the late Mulvee always said at Confirmation: “Today, all I can do is offer you the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Will you use them; I hope you do. But only you and God will know if you activate them in your life.” = This week the Class of 2019 received their diplomas. They are: =
