Stewardship. St. Paul reminds us today that all of our gifts have their source in the Holy Spirit and that those gifts are given “for the common good”. What gifts are mine to share?

Second Collection next week will be for Catholic Relief Services (Bishops' Overseas Appeal). Please read the bulletin insert.

Family Perspective: Today, on Pentecost, we remember Christ gave us the Holy Spirit to assist us in raising our family and he expects us to use this gift. Let's turn off the distractions and tune into the Holy Spirit who “will guide us to the truth”. Let us “testify” to our children that true happiness is found in service, forgiveness and lovefor one another.
