Celebrating Pentecost, one of the greatest feasts of the Church.

Fifty days after His Resurrection, Christ sent the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, giving them the strength to share the Gospel with the world. On this day, we also offer the kneeling prayers, humbly bowing before God and asking the Holy Spirit to renew us.

We were blessed to hear the sermon of His Grace Bishop Vasily.

He reminded us that every Sunday is a celebration of Christ’s Resurrection, the very foundation of our hope and faith. A beautiful reminder to live each week turned toward God.
