Come Celebrate the Holy Spirit in our Parish

I want to encourage each of you to join your fellow parishioners for our annual Parish Pentecost Festival on Sunday, June 5. For those who are new to the parish or have never been before, this is a super fun, great food and music event to celebrate the Spirit of Pentecost and the diverse ethnicities within our own parish. Tickets are on sale after Mass this weekend and next weekend – just $5 per person or $15 per family.

There will be a variety of food booths representing the different ethnic backgrounds of our own parishioners. Taste homemade food samples from Italy, Vietnam, Mexico, Poland, Germany, the Philippines, and more, or enjoy All-American hotdogs for kids and adults. Featured drinks will be slushies for the kids and lemonade, German beer and margaritas for adults. Live music and games for the children will add to the festive atmosphere on the east lawn of the church grounds. The picnic begins immediately following the 10:30 Mass. Note well that there is only one Mass on that Sunday -- at 10:30 – in order to try to get most of our parishioners to be united in one Eucharist for this special feast day. We will still have the 5:00 Mass on Saturday evening for those who cannot make the Sunday Mass.

Please stop by the table after Mass today and get your tickets ASAP so we can plan for the number attending.

Come Holy Spirit and Enkindle within Us the Fire of Your Love!
Fr. Jim Deiters
