Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church – Church Bulletin
Pentecost Sunday – May 27, 2012
Stewardship Awareness Sunday The Archbishop Miller wrote: "On Pentecost Sunday, I ask you to consider the specific ways you can participate in your parish community by sharing with it the gifts you have received from the Holy Spirit. Being an active Catholic requires the giving of time, talent and treasure to fulfill the mission you have of living and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. Let us implore the Holy Spirit for guidance as we roll out the red carpet of genuine Christian hospitality to our sisters and brothers whom we are inviting to come back home to the Catholic Church."
