Message from our Pastor
I suppose it’s an odd alignment of the stars that
gives us Pentecost on the same day as Mother’s day.
Yet, in a way, it certainly is very appropriate. We
honor our mothers because they gave us life and
love, they gave us birthdays. Pentecost is our
birthday as well. We celebrate the great gift of the
Spirit and the birthday of the Church. Without the
gift of our mothers’ fiat to God, bringing us to birth,
we could never celebrate our new birth in Christ
Jesus and our birth into the family of the Church. As
Hopkins said, "The Holy Ghost over the bent World
broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings."
May that same Holy Spirit bless all our mothers,
living and deceased. Happy Mother’s
Day!
- Fr. Jonathan
Who We Are

in 1990.
As Christian stewards, we believe that our time, talent and
treasure are gifts from God to be used for the spiritual,
educational and social needs of our community, diocese and
the world at large.
