Reflecting on Last Week - 28 May 2023:
Pentecost
Homily Take-Aways (Father Tom Gills)...
In participating in the activity of His Holy Spirit, God calls us to:
Invitation
Receive the Holy Spirit
Act on the gifts
Confirmation
Demonstrating the power of God
The ability to lift us up out of our pain
Consecration
Jesus sends us - consecrated into service
That which has not been dedicated cannot be consecrated
As Christ invited the first disciples, He invites us to receive the Holy Spirit.
Let us endeavor not just to receive the gifts of the Spirit, but to USE them
Looking Ahead to Next Week - 4 June 2023:
Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity (liturgical color: White)
Papal Intentions...
Papal intention for Jun 2023: "For the abolition of torture"
Papal intentions for 2023: Click here.
Let God Grace Your Life at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Parish!
Join us for the celebration of the Mass and Holy Sacraments. Bring your family and friends!
Receive God's peace, forgiveness, and presence.
