06/06: Priestly Ordination, Saints Arising Praise & Worship and More!

The love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Spirit of God dwelling within us, alleluia. (Rm 5: 5; cf. 8: 11)

Jun 06, 2025

The solemn coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost was not an isolated event. There is hardly a page in the Acts of the Apostles where we fail to read about him and the action by which he guides, directs and enlivens the life and work of the early christian community. […] In a word, his presence and doctrine are everywhere.
Saint Josemaría Escrivá, Christ is Passing By, The Great Unknown, 127.

✝️ He is risen, alleluia! On Pentecost, the disciples receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The proclamation of the Gospel is the mission of every baptized Christian further strengthened in confirmation. As Easter comes to a close, the fire of the Holy Spirit will continue to burn in our hears, enlivening our lives through faith, hope, and charity.

🙏🏼 The Priestly Ordination of Deacon Kevin Obiesie and Deacon Michael Villavicencio is this Saturday, June 7th 10 AM at the Cathedral! This unique event is an opportunity to gather together as One Church to support our brothers as they begin their priestly ministry. Share this invitation with others!

Congratulations to our newly ordained brother, Deacon Martin Umeatuegbu!

Taizé in the Desert

Fri 08/01 7:00 PM at the Norbertine Abbey

Taizé prayer is a distinctive style of meditative prayer developed by an ecumenical community of monks in rural France. A typical Taizé prayer service incorporates periods of silence with meditative readings from scripture, prayers of praise and intercession, and the repetition of simple contemporary chants based on psalms or other parts of scripture.
