Pentecost Sunday

by Fr. Boniface Endorf, OP

Dear St. Joseph Parish Family,

Happy Pentecost Sunday! Today we celebrate the Holy Spirit coming down as tongues of flame upon the apostles. From that moment the apostles start to evangelize the world and the Church starts to dramatically grow. It is the Holy Spirit that empowers us to live the Christian life and follow Jesus. The Holy Spirit is still with us, still operating within the Church, so let us follow His inspiration and seek the holiness He offers each one of us.

Also, we now have a new parish secretary: Giovanni, aka: Gio. He’s very nice, so make sure to say hello to him if you’re in the parish office.

On another staff note, Linda Jones, our incredible parish business manager for the past ten years, is retiring at the end of June. She will be missed: she played a pivotal role in the church renovations of these past six years. We’re about to hire a new parish business manager, whom we’ll announce shortly.

Have a blessed Pentecost!
Fr. Boniface
