St. Francis Update
Week of May 29th to June 2nd  
 Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families,
 This weekend, the Church celebrated Pentecost, one of the most important feast days of the year that concludes the Easter season and celebrates the beginning of the Church.  Pentecost is when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to fill and equip each believer, to work and gather in the spiritual harvest. The Holy Spirit of Love surrounds us all the time - forever. Let us remember God’s powerful Spirit of Love, which brings life, even life out of death.
Dear God,
You sent your Spirit to be with the disciples,
filling them with joy, peace and courage.
May we also be filled with your Spirit,
be brave and share your peace in our world.
Help us to share the good news,
And spread your love to one another.
In Jesus name, Amen!
