Pentecost celebrates our birth as a Church. It is a time when we recall the darkness only briefly, more so celebrating the power of the Holy Spirit moving within us and propelling us to persons, places, and things that we never thought imaginable. It is a time when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus fully, bringing the meaning of his suffering and death to the hearts of those who do not believe or who remain in the darkness.

Ten years have passed since the sexual abuse crisis in our Church became known throughout the world. Still, these many years later, people try to find answers, and more importantly, search to find deeper meaning and purpose in their lives. We want this particularly for the victims and their loved ones who deserve wholeness and a voice that is heard clearly and empathically.
