Pentecost
On Friday 6th June we had our Whole School Mass to celebrate Pentecost. Presiding over our Mass was Fr John (as Fr. Roy is on leave in India). Pentecost Sunday is the "fiftieth day," which concludes the season of Easter, the continuous single festival of the risen Christ. Pentecost, the Jewish feast of harvest, also commemorates the giving of the Law of Moses.
It was the day when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles. The event has been celebrated on this day at least since the third century. The joy of Pentecost is that the risen Christ breathes upon the Church and says, "Receive the Holy Spirit".
