Pentecost Sunday is one of the most ancient feasts of the Church,
celebrated early enough to be mentioned in the Acts of the
Apostles (20:16) and St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians
(16:8). It is the 50th day after Easter (if we count both Easter and
Pentecost), and it replaces the Jewish feast of Pentecost, which
took place 50 days after the Passover and celebrated the sealing of
the Old Covenant on Mount Sinai.
Christ had promised His Apostles that He would send His Holy
Spirit, and, on Pentecost, they were granted the gifts of the Spirit.
The Apostles began to preach the Gospel in all of the languages
that the Jews who were gathered there spoke, and about 3,000
people were converted and baptized that day.
That is why Pentecost is often called "the birthday of the Church."
On this day, with the descent of the Holy Spirit, Christ's mission is
completed, and the New Covenant is inaugurated. It's interesting
to note that St. Peter, the first pope, was already the leader and
spokesman for the Apostles on Pentecost Sunday (see Acts 2:14).

As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully,
cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with
others, and return them with increase to the Lord.
May 24, 2015 - Pentecost Sunday
It is fitting on this Pentecost Sunday that the
Scripture passages speak of the works of the Holy
Spirit in the early Christian community, as described
in the Acts of the Apostles, and still present to us
today. In St. John’s Gospel, Jesus gives His disciples
the gifts of the Spirit, peace, and the power to
forgive sins. In his First Letter to the Corinthians, St.
Paul encourages the faithful to live in unity and to
appreciate each member’s gifts, service, and works
granted to them by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
as one body in Christ. As Christian stewards, what
do we bring weekly to the Eucharistic table through
our God-given gifts of time, talent, and treasure to
build up our parish communion — to build up the
Body of Christ?
33 Days to Morning Glory - Study Program beginning June 7th
