The late Father Parfitt of Sacred Heart, Broughton always began his Pentecost Sundays wishing everybody a happy birthday. Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. Acts 2:41 recalls the Apostles baptizing three thousand people after receiving the Holy Ghost when tongues of fire descended upon them.
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, next Sunday is Trinity Sunday and then we have the green Sundays until Advent.
Mass at Saint Patrick's for the feast of Pentecost Sunday at 1.00 p.m. will be a Low Mass. The father of one of my former pupils, very kindly, sent me some money at Christmas and I told him I would buy some new vestments with it. This red gothic set gets its first outing this Sunday. Thank you, Michael!
