The diocese will offer “A Church of Mission and Purpose: A Virtual Pentecost Retreat,” beginning tomorrow, May 29 at 7 p.m. and concluding on Saturday, May 30 at 5 p.m. with a Vigil Mass of Pentecost, celebrated by Bishop James F. Checchio.

Participants who register for the Pentecost Retreat will have the opportunity to listen to live presentations, witness talks and take part in small breakout sessions. To see the full schedule and to register, visit: www.LightingHeartsOnFire.org. There is no cost to attend. No registration is required to participate in the livestreamed Vigil Mass.

A team of priests, brothers and sisters and lay people will give witness to and encouragement for living fully in the new life that Jesus promises to those who will live by the Holy Spirit.

Through witness talks, presentations, faith-sharing and music, the diocese’s first-ever virtual Pentecost Retreat aims to inspire participants, through the grace of the Holy Spirit, to be refreshed, to pray with expectant faith, and to know that God will do great things in their midst.

A video invitation from Bishop Checchio has been posted to the diocesan website, www.diometuchen.org, and the Facebook page, www.facebook.com/DioceseMetuchen, and can also be viewed and downloaded here: https://vimeo.com/423373830.

You are invited to virtually participate in this opportunity as we prepare ourselves for Pentecost and the outpouring of His Holy Spirit so that we may be fearless followers and His witness in our world.
