God of power and mercy,
you destroy war and put down earthly pride.
Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our
tears, that we may all deserve to be called
your sons and daughters.
Keep in your mercy those men and women
who have died in the cause of freedom
and bring them safely into your kingdom of
justice and peace.
We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
II—Robert Solis & Erin Pommier
I—Patrick Hastings & Alicia Bartz

PENTECOST SUNDAY
May 24, 2015
Pentecost Sunday
“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same
Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same
Lord; there are different workings but the same God who
produces all of them in everyone.” 1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-6
By giving each of us different gifts, God made sure that
the Church would have the right combination of time,
talent and treasure that was needed to do His work.
However, if one of us does not utilize our gifts, God’s
plan goes unfulfilled. Some important work is left
undone.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Faith formation is the responsibility of the entire faith community.
While parents are their children’s primary “teachers of faith” , all of us
have been called to be models of lived faith.
Our young people also need to participate in formal faith
formation (Religious Education) classes. All students in grades 1—8
(not attending a Catholic School) should be registered in our Religious
Education program.
This program offers our young people opportunities to grow in their relationship with
God, to learn about the Catholic faith traditions, and to prepare for the sacraments of
Confirmation, Eucharist, and Reconciliation while encouraging them to live their faith each
and every day.
Registration for the 2015-16 year has begun.
For more information please contact the Religious Education office:
(847-679-1202 or rel.ed@stpeter-skokie.org)
A SIGNIFICANT DAY
“And suddenly there
came from the sky a noise
like a strong driving wind,
and it filled the entire house
in which they were” (Acts 2:2).
The Holy Spirit’s arrival on that first Pentecost
was signaled by a rush of wind. We all know
what it’s like when our windows are open just
as a summer storm rises up. Curtains fly,
papers become airborne, house plants
shudder, dust is scattered. A rush of wind
disrupts the orderliness of our home. The
coming of the Holy Spirit, as celebrated each
year at Pentecost, can also disrupt ways that
have become comfortable and orderly. The
Church always needs Pentecost. We need the
breath of God’s Spirit to blow away any
complacency or malaise that has settled into
our faith. Jesus breathes on his disciples and
they receive the Holy Spirit. With that reception
comes the power to share the Good News of
salvation. Today, this is no less true for us.
