PARISH NEWS
Join us for a Pentecost Vigil on May 27 from 7-9pm and experience the Holy Spirit in a new way. We will have a talk from Fr. Ken Lao C.C., with music provided by parishioner Jeff Lavery. Prayer teams will be available to pray with you and ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in your life. There will be light refreshments and fellowship to follow.
We don’t need all the answers or perfect holiness. Like the apostles at Pentecost, let’s come as we are and experience the beauty of the Holy Spirit!
