St. Ann's Catholic Church-Stonewall

05/24/2026

This Pentecost Sunday, the Catholic Church grants a Plenary Indulgence to the faithful who publicly recite or sing the hymn “Veni Creator Spiritus.”

A plenary indulgence is the complete remission of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven. It is a gift of God’s mercy entrusted to the Church through the merits of Christ and the saints.

“Veni Creator Spiritus” has been prayed by Christians for centuries as a solemn invocation of the Holy Spirit.

Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,
And in our souls take up Thy rest;
Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

To receive the plenary indulgence on Pentecost:

• Publicly recite or sing the “Veni Creator Spiritus”
• Receive Holy Communion
• Go to sacramental Confession (within about 20 days before or after)
• Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father
• Be free from all attachment to sin, even venial sin

This beautiful tradition reminds us that Pentecost is not merely a historical event, but a living reality in the life of the Church.

May the Holy Spirit renew our hearts and strengthen us in holiness.

Log your rosaries! Lets help the Diocese and all those in need a prayer!

It's wonderful to see how our diocesan community has come together in prayer this month. We've collectively prayed 4,885 Rosaries across the Diocese of Shreveport, and we are incredibly close to our goal of 5,000.

If you've prayed Rosaries this month but haven't had a chance to log them yet, you can still go back and add them to our total at any time. We will do one final count at the end of the month to see where we stand. Enter your numbers here: https://www.dioshpt.org/

Seeing so many prayers offered up for the intercession of our Blessed Mother is a beautiful reminder of her constant care for us. Thank you for your continued participation in this spiritual effort for our diocese.

Veni, Sancte Spiritus! We're asking for your prayers this week for all the young people in our diocese preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. These students have been studying and praying to prepare to be sealed with the Holy Spirit and receive the graces of Confirmation. It's such an important step in their faith journey as they become missionary witnesses for Christ. Come, Holy Spirit, and fill the hearts of your faithful!
