PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
“Serving the growing Greater Bridgeville Area, Holy Child Roman Catholic Parish is a faith-filled family with a strong sense of community and a rich diverse heritage. With the grace we receive in the Sacraments, God calls and enables us as His Holy Children to be a “welcoming home for all who seek Him”.

Breathe on me, breath of God, Holy Spirit, Advocate and Guide. Come, Father of the poor, into the poverty of my life. Burn away the self-centeredness that keeps me from
you, and shine within my heart to be a man or a woman for others in order to experience the joys that never end.
Receive the Holy Spirit: After his resurrection from the dead Jesus appears to his anxious Apostles and, knowing their fear and uncertainty, pours forth the Holy Spirit upon them and bestows the gift of peace.
For the next forty days he promises that he will be with them always and that he will send the Advocate to be with them as they will be called to continue his work in the world. Finally, after ascending to heaven, Jesus sends forth his Spirit at Pentecost to fill the Apostles with confidence and courage in order to go out to all the world to tell the good news and grow the Church. As the On Mission for The Church Alive! initiative continues to unfold we are called to prayer for a new Pentecost in the Church of Pittsburgh. This new outpouring of the Holy Spirit can bestow the peace we seek in the midst of change and planning for the future. God’s Spirit can also fill us with the confidence and courage that all of us—clergy and faithful alike—will need to do our part to build up the Church and make it ever more alive! Visit onmissionchurchalive.org to learn more and to stay informed.

Reflecting on the Word
I graduated from Marquette University High School in Milwaukee. The school’s Jesuit mission is to form men for the service of others, not service of themselves. Now in St. Paul “the flesh” means anything opposed to the ways of the Spirit, opposed to living Jesus Christ, and being people concerned only with self. The vices Paul lists re-flect that. They offer apparent satisfaction for desires that only take care of the self. They often inhibit connection with the God who alone can satisfy our deepest longing. By contrast, the fruits of the Spirit tend to focus on others, including The Other, who is our ultimate source of love, joy, and peace. The Holy Spirit, the Advocate, helps us to become men and women for others. How often must we experience an event like a mighty wind that knocks the breath out of us before we let in the breath of the Spirit? How often does it take a fire to burn away our self-centeredness to become other-centered? When hitting bottom helps my life change for the better, others see that change and want what I’ve found. They “hear” my life speaking their own tongue, even when our lives appear different on the surface. Story after story of conversion has affirmed this reality. People tell me that someone else’s witness has led them to say, “You look so happy and peaceful. I want some of that.” It is by the help of the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, that I have found peace in the midst of pain. Happiness in the midst of sadness, and forgiveness in the midst of sin. Pray this hymn text: “O breathe on me, O breath of God, Fill me with life anew. That I may love the things you love, and do what you would do,” and become men and women for other.

A Family Perspective (by Bud Ozar): Today, on Pentecost, we remember Christ has given us the Holy Spirit to assist us in raising our family and He expects us to use this personal gift. Let’s turn-off the noise, apps and distractions in our lives and let the Holy Spirit “guide us to the truth.”
