Pentecost Sunday – Jun 8, 2014
Stewardship Awareness Sunday Today, the Archbishop invites us to rejoice in our collective gifts and affirm all those who use their time, talent and treasure to build up the Kingdom of God in our faith communities. It’s a proper time to focus on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and how our lives are changed every time we say “YES” in service to others. May Pentecost be a blessing to each of you and all those in your care.
