Pentecost is the feast that speaks to our mission statement at St. Josephine Bakhita of advancing diverse expressions of the global Catholic Church among the people of God gathered in Northland.

May the Spirit of Pentecost not be limited just to today. May it be found in our ongoing experience of broadening our horizons, widening our tents, diversifying our body, and giving life to all.
