PENTECOST

On Friday, June 6 the school community celebrated Pentecost with a Whole School Mass. Presiding over our Mass was Fr John (as Fr. Roy has been in India on leave). 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 since the third century. The joy of Pentecost is that the risen Christ breathes upon the Church and says, "Receive the Holy Spirit".
