Pentecost: A Church Renewed by the Holy Spirit
Pentecost is the birthday of the Church — the day when, through the power of the Holy Spirit, the disciples were transformed and courageously went forth to proclaim the Good News to all nations.

Ascension of the Lord
This reflection on the Ascension invites us to recognise the presence of Christ in ordinary days, even when it seems hidden or silent. Jesus promised to remain with us always, yet after the Ascension, His presence discreetly reveals itself: through acts of sincere love, mutual care, the faithfulness of simple people, and within a community […]
