5. Novena to the Holy Spirit: As we prepare for the celebration of Pentecost the weekend of June 4, everyone is encouraged to make the Novena to the Holy Spirit running May 26-June 3. We will pray it each day at Mass, but families and gatherings of various groups are encouraged to pray the Novena together each day. As we are entering this year as a pilot parish engaged in the archdiocesan pastorate planning process, we need to be steeped in prayer and open our hearts to the movement of the Holy Spirit in our community.
