Pentecost Sunday 4^th June: Focus: Jesus sent the gift of the Holy Spirit to protect & guide the Church in carrying out his saving mission. – The feast of Pentecost reminds us that the work of the Holy Spirit guides & protects the Church & enables her to carry out her mission. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives us, as disciples, the grace & strength to move forward & live out our call of faith.

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
