Introduction
a)
To the Holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
Welcome
to Saint Dominic’s Parish Church for our Sunday worship.
This
Sunday, we celebrate the Pentecost, the descent of the Holy Spirit on the
new-born Church of Christ on the fiftieth day after He rose from the dead.
From
that day the Church was officially sent to the mission of preaching the Good
News of salvation to all nations and peoples on earth.
The
birthday of the Church today is also the birthday of each and one of us who
were born to new life in Christ by water and the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament
of Baptism.
Today
the Holy Spirit Choir also celebrates its third birthday. Please join the Choir members in offering prayerful
hymns of praise and thanksgiving for the blessing of sacred music with which we
worship God in strong faith and burning love.
Kindly
all stand for the entrance hymn.
