CELEBRATING THE GLORIOUS FEAST OF PENTECOST * SUNDAY, JUNE 9

All of our major feast days celebrating the glorious mysteries of God are told to us in Sacred

Scriptures and we desire to honor them in every way.

The Glorious Feast of Christmas, Birth of Jesus and The Glorious Feast of Easter,

Resurrection of Jesus are told to us in the Gospel accounts of the Bible.

The Glorious Feast of Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit, the birthday or our Catholic

Church is told to us in a Book of the Bible called the “ACTS OF THE APOSTLES,” sometimes

called the Gospel of the Holy Spirit.

In this part of the Bible we learn more of who the Holy Spirit is what he does by many

amazing testimonies.

What we read in this Book was actually told to us by Jesus while He was living with and

teaching the Apostles everything they needed to know. He spoke about the upper room

and how God would become present to them in the form of wind and tongues of fire and

that when this would take place they would be anointed by God, that is God would enter

them and fill them so they could carry out the mission God planned for them from the

beginning. In the Acts of the Apostles Chapter 2 verses 1 – 4 we read;

And when the days of Pentecost were drawing to a close, they were all together in one

place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a violent wind coming, and it

filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues

as of fire, which settled upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and

began to speak in foreign tongues, even as the Holy Spirit prompted them to speak”

Let us all say, COME HOLY SPIRIT COME.

WELCOME SUMMER WELCOME SUMMER MESSAGES

- About vacation time….

It is a good thing to vacation from work, from

school, from certain tasks.

BUT – You should know that there is no

vacation from attending to our Sunday

obligation to our Lord during summer time or

other times we are away from home. There is a

listing on line of Mass times for all the United

States.

Our Lord does not take a vacation from us we

really cannot take a vacation from Him. Please

Parish Family of all ages do not skip your

Sunday obligation.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

- About dressing properly for church

during the warm summer time.

We repeat a message from one of our Parishes

on this subject for your information.

**THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT IS TAKEN

FROM ONE OF OUR PARISHES.

**WE SHARE THE EXACT SAME CONCERNS FOR THE

SUMMER SEASON.

PLEASE - DRESS MODESTLY!

As warmer weather approaches we kindly

remind you to dress modestly when you come to

church. The church is God’s sacred house and we

should dress with our best attire when we come

to worship God.

Please avoid shorts, mini-skirts or sleeveless

dresses, shirts or blouses.

RECYCLE REMINDER…

End of the school year brings home LOADS of

papers, projects and clutter! Remember you can bring

all your paper recyclables here and deposit them in

our Green Paper bins. Clear some space from your

house AND help our church. All profits directly benefit

our church.

Thank you for all your recycling efforts!

Attention: all Maronite Youth

ages 12 through high school

This year's national Maronite Youth Retreat is "right

down the street" at the campus of Walsh University in

North Canton, Ohio.

The retreat begins Sunday July 7 and will conclude

Saturday, July 12th. John Jesser will attend as our

youth advisor, along with some of our certified jr.

advisors. One or two parent chaperons would be

helpful as well. Registrations are due by the end of

May. Please check your calendar and let's make every

effort for our Akron youth to benefit from this

wonderful spiritual and social experience. The

workshop is very valuable as we have seen many

adults and young adults from our parish credit their

teenage retreat experience as a part of how their faith

was strengthened. Registration is easy and

electronic. Only a $25 deposit is needed. The youth

group fund will be able to cover most of the remaining

cost, depending on how many attend. Please register

directly at www.maroniteyouth.org

John Jesser is available to share more details and

answer any questions at 216-536-6056
