Pentecost  Sunday
 
Jesus told His disciples that they would be clothed with power from on High.  That is, the Holy Spirit would come on them in a special way, to give them knowledge and wisdom, understanding and right judgement, courage and piety, and the fear of the Lord, which is the capacity to love God with all our strength.  These gifts were poured out on the first believers in Christ, and they continue to be poured out on the Church.  Although they are purely gifts from God, our experiences with them will depend on our willingness to cooperate with them.

The next English and Spanish classes will be on June 12, at 7 p.m. Registration is required. Please contact Diane Salazar in the Family Life office at 972-279-6581, x107, or email her at DianeS@stmichaelgarland.org.

Pre-Baptismal classes are designed to help parents and godparents understand their important roles in the baptism of their children. They will learn about the importance of the sacrament and how to guide their children through a lifelong relationship with God and the Catholic Church. We believe that through these classes, parents and godparents will be able to understand better their responsibility to the spiritual formation of their children. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith and to become better prepared for the baptism of their children.
 The classes are now scheduled for the second Thursday of each month.
 There are no baptisms scheduled in December

If your child is older than 6 years, contact Sherri Williams, extension 108, or Georgina Salinas extension 109.

The Diocese of Dallas continues its preparations for the Dallas Synod this year, Bishop Burns has asked that Catholics in the diocese pray for the successor of the synod and the growth of the Catholic faith in our diocese.

The pastoral plan will conclude on December 12, 2031, with a large Mass to celebrate the 500th anniversary of our Lady of Guadalupe’s appearance in San Juan Diego and the conclusion of this decade-long journey of faith and revitalization.

Our Lady of Guadalupe… Pray for us.
