Join Archbishop Shelton on the great solemnity of Pentecost, 2 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Assumption, to celebrate the birthday of the church. On this special day, many cultures unite under one faith to honor the same spirit in Christ. This special day commemorates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and emphasizes the unity in diversity that comes from being baptized into the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13). Any priest who wishes to concelebrate is invited to do so. If interested in concelebrating, RSVP to Lauren Collins in the Office of Multicultural Ministry at lcollins@archlou.org.
With its rich cultural history dating back to 1808, Louisville is a melting pot of traditions and customs that will be showcased during the Mass. The Archdiocese invites everyone to come together, adorned in traditional clothing representing their cultural heritage, as we rejoice in the multicultural unity within the Church. Following the Mass, a reception will be held to celebrate further our shared faith and the diverse tapestry that makes up the body of Christ. Let us unite in spirit and community to honor this special occasion and the bond that unites us all.
