Sea of Red
Sunday May 19, is the great Feast of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit
appeared over the disciples in the form of tongues of fire. A wonderful way to
celebrate this feast is to have all WEAR RED TO MASS. SO I INVITE AND ENCOURAGE
ALL PARISHIONERS TO WEAR RED FOR THE FEAST OF PENTECOST on MAY 19, 2013. It’s a small way to join the priests, deacons
and servers to show a sense of community and festivity. Let us see a Sea of
Red! A thousand celebrating in red will be a real sign of Church for all of us.
–Msgr. Bill
