Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Parish Administrator
|
|
This Weekend we celebrate with joy the gift of Pentecost. Pentecost is the birth of the Church. In it we realize Jesus' breathing the Spirit echoes Genesis ' description of the creating God breathing form out of the abyss of nothingness. For John, the process of creation is to extend God's peace to the now deformed world.
|
The Holy Spirit comes constantly from the ever-loving Trinity. We are not praying in such a way that may be God will breathe again upon our creation. We celebrate that we might be open to the Spirit's work of giving Christ new dimensions, new visibility and new gestures of revelation within us as individuals and us as God's people. We are praying in celebration that God is constantly sending the "breath "upon us as a people of God.
|
This is not a maybe. What we do pray is that we may be more open to the Spirit's creating of us.

Lay Ministry Opportunity
Save the Date - Sunday, May 19, 2024, 3:00 – 4:30 in the Church
|
|
We are expanding and enriching our lay ministries of lectors, eucharistic ministers and altar servers. These are vital roles at Holy Name, and we need all who have served in the past, are currently serving and most importantly wish to serve to save this date and attend this meeting.
|
It will be an opportunity to interact with one another and establish and practice a set of consistent and liturgically sound routines and practices so that we can all confidently and appropriately carry out these roles. What a beautiful way to engage or re-engage in parish life and to be part of the spiritual growth and enrichment of our parish.
|
|
Please consider this important work, save the date on your calendar, and tap a friend to join you.
