Pentecost Sunday

May 31, 2020

Domingo de Pentecostés 31 de Mayo de 2020

From the Pastor’s Desk

It is Pentecost Sunday! How is the Holy Spirit Calling our Young Adults to Volunteer?

I wish all of our parishioners a Blessed Pentecost Sunday. I pray the Holy Spirit,

who you received at your Baptism and whose gifts were strengthened at Confirmation,

enlightens you in a special way this year. It is the Holy Spirit that inspires you to live and

practice your faith. I pray you can listen to the Holy Spirit speak to your heart about how

you can become more involved in the parish and to live your call to be missionary disciple

in your family and community. As I mentioned in last week’s bulletin, we are getting

ready to open our churches for public Mass again. Although we do not know when (I am

writing this on May 28) I suspect it will be sometime on June. The parish also asked for

volunteers to help usher and clean our churches. Approximately 50 or so have called or

emailed the office to volunteer, and we appreciate how you stepped up in this challenging

time. I also understand and support those who are not ready at this time because you

have real health and safety concerns. This week I am asking our young adult parishioners

and those home from college to think about volunteering. As happens so often in parish-

es, most of the volunteers tend to be over 60. Health officials tell us that the Covid-19

Virus hits older adults particularly hard, thus, this week I am asking our young adult

parishioners to think about helping. Pray for guidance. Serving in the church is a joyful

experience, a joy given by the grace of the Holy Spirit. If you feel called to help please call

the parish office at 856-627-2222. God Bless you and family, and please stay safe.

Congratulations to our High School Graduates

Our Parish family congratulates all those graduating from High School this year. We know this has been a particularly difficult year for our graduates. Many of the events

you waited so long for have been canceled due to the Coronavirus Pandemic that hit our world. Your proms and senior trips were cancelled, and even your graduation ceremony

will be much different. Do not be afraid to acknowledge your pain and sorrow and disappointment. It is very real and very understandable. Please know that your family at home, and your parish family, is very proud of you. This is a big step in your life and you

worked hard in your high school years. You were also faced with learning a difficult life lesson at a young age. In life, everything doesn’t always go as we plan. Also, know that God is with you every step of the way, and the Lord will continue to accompany you as you

plan for college and your work years that await you. The Church is here for you also, and I pray that your Catholic Faith continues to guide you in the wonderful life adventures

that await you. Congratulations to the High School Class of 2020!

Del Escritorio de el Pastor

¡Es domingo de Pentecostés! ¿Cómo está llamando el Espíritu Santo a nuestros jóvenes

adultos a ser voluntarios?

Les deseo a todos nuestros feligreses un domingo de Pentecostés bendecido. Ruego que el Espíritu Santo, a quien recibieron en sus Bautismo y cuyos dones se fortalecieron en la Confirmación, les ilumine de una manera especial este año. Es el Espíritu Santo el que les inspira a vivir y practicar tu fe. Ruego que pueda escuchar al Espíritu Santo hablarle a su corazón sobre cómo puede involucrarse más en la parroquia y vivir su llamado a ser discípulo misionero en su familia y comunidad. Como he mencionado en el boletín de la semana pasada, nos estamos preparando para abrir nuestras iglesias para la comunidad nuevamente. Aunque no sabemos cuándo (estoy escribiendo esto el 28 de mayo) creo que será en algún momento de junio. La parroquia también necesita voluntarios para ayudar a marcar y limpiar nuestras iglesias. Aproximadamente 50 o más personas han llamado o enviado un correo electrónico a la oficina para ofrecerse como voluntario, y apreciamos cómo se han presentado en este momento desafiante. También entiendo y apoyo a aquellos que no están listos en este momento porque tiene preocupaciones reales de salud y seguridad. Esta semana les pido a nuestros feligreses jóvenes adultos y a los que están en casa de la universidad que piensen en ser voluntarios. Como suele suceder en las parroquias, la mayoría de los voluntarios tienden a tener más de 60 años. Los funcionarios de salud nos dicen que el virus Covid-19 afecta especialmente a los adultos mayores, por lo tanto, esta semana les pido a nuestros feligreses jóvenes adultos que piensen en ayudar. Ora por dirección. Servir en la iglesia es una experiencia hermosa, una alegría dada por la gracia del Espíritu Santo. Si siente el llamado a ayudar, llame a la oficina parroquial al 856-627-2222. Dios les bendiga a usted y a su familia y por favor mantente a seguro.

Felicidades a nuestros graduados de la secundaria.

Nuestra familia parroquial felicita a todos los graduados de la escuela secundaria de este año. Sabemos que este año ha sido en lo particularmente difícil para nuestros graduados. Muchos de los eventos que se esperan por mucho tiempo han sido cancelados debido a la pandemia de coronavirus que afecto nuestro mundo. Sus bailes de graduación y viajes de último año fueron cancelados, e incluso hasta la ceremonia de graduación será muy diferente. No teman de reconocer su dolor, tristeza y decepción. Es muy normal muy comprensible. Sipre recuerde que su familia en casa y la familia de su parroquia están muy orgullosas de usted. Este es un gran paso en tu vida y trabajaron duro en sus años de secundaria. También se enfrentaron de aprender una lección de vida difícil a una edad temprana. En la vida, todo no siempre sale como lo planeamos. Además, sepa que Dios está con usted en cada paso del camino, y que el Señor continuará acompañándolo mientras planifica la universidad y los años de estudios que les esperan. La Iglesia también está aquí para ustedes y rezo para que su fe católica continúe guiándote en las maravillosas aventuras de la vida que te esperan. ¡Felicitaciones a la clase de graduaciones del 2020!

Stewardship Reflection:

Stewards Holy Spirit

“To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” 1 CORINTHIANS 12:7 For Stewards to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, we

must open our hearts and invite Him in! Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts, words and actions every

day! Be grateful for all the gifts God has given you!

Regardless of our individual circumstances, God has

given all of us many blessings. What we do with those

gifts is our gift back to God! By generously sharing

everything we have and everything we are, we become more “God-centered” and less “self-centered” and our

lives truly reflect God’s light, love and mercy.

The Richness of the Spirit:

Students, and most adults recalling their school

days, are familiar with the phrase “compare and

contrast” that shows up from time to time on tests.

Today we hear two different accounts of the giving of the Holy Spirit to the church. Let’s contrast, then

compare. Luke’s account from Acts is filled with

arresting details: the mighty wind from heaven, the

tongues of flame, the miracle of different languages.

John’s account seems timid: fearful disciples, the wounded Christ, the expelling of breath from his

risen body, not from the sky. Our literal, modern

minds wonder which way it happened; our noisy

culture probably makes us prefer the former. But if

we compare the two, we find that the dazzling

richness of the Spirit fills both accounts, for it is the very breath of the risen Christ, ascended to the

sky in Luke, that appears to his disciples in John

and sends his followers forth to carry on his

mission of forgiving sin and proclaiming the mighty

acts of God.
