Fr. Edward Mazuski writes this week about the Feast of Pentecost. “Every year 50 days after Easter, the Church celebrates the feast of Pentecost. This is one of the most important feasts in the calendar, commemorating the moment when Jesus’ followers were filled by the Holy Spirit. It is an impressive story… and it makes a clear connection between the coming of the Holy Spirit and the mission of the Church to evangelize the world.”

With May being the month of Mary, this week saw the return of Mass at the Lourdes Grotto for the boarding students. With the academic year soon concluding, the Prior reminded the students there that the Eucharistic meal offers, “a gift to make us into the gifted and unique individuals that each of us is and together are, a living image of Jesus Christ, the God-Man. So, celebrate each other tonight, and celebrate what God has done for you.”
