God freed us from darkness & the power of Satan through Jesus Christ.
Session 3: THE NEW LIFE
God wants to give us a new life through the Holy Spirit
Session 4: RECEIVING GOD'S GIFTS

have already received in your baptism and confirmation.
Session 5: PRAYING FOR BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. This session is a preparation for the release of the Holy Spirit, already present from the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation.
AFTER PENTECOST
Session 6 & 7: GROWTH (Sunday, May 26) & TRANSFORMATION (Sunday, June 2)
Prayer, study, service and community. Going on with Life in the Spirit in a new relationship with the Lord.

Dear beloved,
It is with great sadness to share the sudden death of our beloved mother, wife, sister, grandmother, friend, and coworker Tsotso Catherine Bolouvi Attiogbe who was called unto the Lord on May 13th, 2024. She has suffered much from late detection and complications of stage 4 metastatic abdominal cancer and we pray for her eternal rest with her Maker.

Please consider donating within 2 weeks, as any amount will truly help with her funeral preparation. It would mean a lot if you could share the funeral fundraiser with others who knew her.

The Year of Parish Revival began on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, June 11, 2023 . As we have entered this new season of grace, Bishop Cozzens has composed a beautiful prayer for the Revival and the Church. We pray in particular for our beloved St Antoninus Church....
Prayer for the Eucharistic Revival of the Church
Lord Jesus Christ, you give us your flesh and blood for the life of the world, and you desire that all people come to the Supper of the Sacrifice of the Lamb.
Renew in your Church the truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the Most Blessed Eucharist.
Jesus living in the Eucharist, come and live in me.
Jesus healing in the Eucharist, come and heal me.
Jesus sacrificing yourself in the Eucharist, come and suffer in me.
Jesus rising in the Eucharist, come and rise to new life in me.
Jesus loving in the Eucharist, come and love in me.
Lord Jesus Christ, through the paschal mystery of your death and resurrection made present in every Holy Mass, pour out your healing love on your Church and on our world.
Grant that as we lift you up during this time of Eucharistic Revival, your Holy Spirit may draw all people to join us at this Banquet of Life. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Eucharist, Pray for us.
