WEEKLY BULLETIN
Welcome to St. Paul the Apostle
The Weekend of May 24, 2026
Message from Father Thu
Message of the Pentecost Sunday – 05/24/2026
Today the Church celebrates the Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles and the Church. One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is peace. This peace is not a passive state of tranquility, but an empowering force that allays our fears, urges us forth to take up Jesus’ mission, and instills in us forgiving hearts. This peace transforms how we see ourselves, how we pursue discipleship, and how we relate to the world and one another. Certainly, this peace is life encompassing and enduring. How much more so is Jesus’ gift of the Holy Spirit! The strengthen gifts of the Holy Spirit also command us to evangelize the world. We often think Jesus’ mission is given only to professional parish staff and other church ministers. All of us, the baptized, are called; however, to take up the mission of Jesus because of the Holy Spirit given to us at our baptism.
