PENTECOST - Sunday, June 19th

Dear friends in Christ,

This coming Sunday, June 19th, is the Feast of Pentecost, commonly called Whitsunday in our tradition. Pentecost is a major Feast of the Church, and a very important day in our spiritual lives. The aim of the Christian life is nothing less than the acquisition of the Holy Spirit and union with God through Jesus Christ our Lord. None of this could happen had it not been for the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. May we continue to seek an ever deeper filling by the Holy Spirit and to live more fully in the Holy Spirit.

Sunday Matins is at 9:15 AM, followed by the Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist at 10:00 AM, with fellowship and refreshments in our parish hall after the Liturgy. Everyone is always welcome at Holy Cross parish. We are a faithful and friendly congregation, and we have a place for you. Hope to see you on Whitsunday!

blessings,

Father+
