    Nothing Ordinary About Our Call

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 18, 2022
     | 1,234 views

    Our evangelical mission is anything but ordinary.

    This Sunday is best called the “3rd Sunday after Pentecost.” I say it is best called that because it reminds us that Christ’s Catholic Church is Pentecostal–evangelical in the original sense. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit, working in us individually, as families, and as community to bring the ...read more
