PENTECOST SUNDAY (year C) 14/15 MAY 2016 Entrance Antiphon The Spirit of the Lord fills the whole world. It holds all things together and knows every word spoken by man, alleluia,
Pentecost saw the birth of a new community, the Church. This is the day the apostles left the upper room, where they had been hiding for fear of the Jews, and went out fearlessly to preach the Gospel to the world. They could not have done this if they had not received ‘power from on high’, that is, the Holy Spirit. We too need the Holy Spirit in order to live as Christians. MAY PROCESSION IN HONOUR OF OUR BLESSED LADY Sunday 22nd May 4.00pm – In our church grounds.
