OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL CHURCH RELIGIOUS EDUCATION OFFICE
JUNE, 2022
On June 5th we celebrate Pentecost and say Happy Birthday! Pentecost is commonly known and celebrated as the Church’s birthday. Birthdays are a special way of remembering, and its no different on the feast of Pentecost day. Each year that a birthday is celebrated the memories accumulate. So, we celebrate not only the birth itself, but all the years between.
Each Pentecost we celebrate the day that the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles, and each year of the Church’s life since that very special day. We are the same Church of the first Pentecost and every Pentecost thereafter. We may not see the fire or hear the wind but we are today’s recipients of the gift of the Holy Spirit.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL OF US! WE ARE THE CHURCH!!!!
May we pray and remember all of our family, friends and benefactors as we celebrate the Birthday of the Church. The summer is just around the corner and I want you to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for all you are and do for the faith community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.
Blessings and thanks,
Sister Regina Chassar, ssj
Director of Religious Education
