Current Season: Easter
During the month of June, we transition from the season of Easter to the season of Ordinary Time. Here are some helpful articles overviewing each season:
Coming soon! My latest guidebook, The Liturgical Home: Ordinary Time. It gives you everything you need to know to celebrate the season of Ordinary Time in your home.
June 8th - The Feast of Pentecost
Pentecost is one of the great feasts of the Church, celebrating the day the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples, empowering them to speak in every tongue and proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth. It marks the birth of the Church and the beginning of her mission in the world.
June 11th - The Feast of St. Barnabas
The Feast of St. Barnabas, honors one of the early Church’s most faithful and encouraging servants. Known in Scripture as the “Son of Encouragement,” Barnabas was a Levite from Cyprus who played a crucial role in the spread of the Gospel alongside Paul.
June 15th - Trinity Sunday
Trinity Sunday, is a feast that draws us into the heart of the mystery of God Himself—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Unlike most feast days that commemorate an event or a person, Trinity Sunday celebrates a doctrine: the eternal truth that God is three Persons in one Essence. It is a day to marvel, to worship, and to be humbled by the mystery of the God who is both unity and relationship.
June 24th - The Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist
The Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist, marks the birth of the forerunner of Christ, the one who leapt in the womb, pointed to the Lamb of God, and prepared the way of the Lord. His birth, announced by angels and surrounded by wonder, reminds us that God's plan of redemption was unfolding long before Bethlehem. This feast invites us to rejoice in God's faithfulness and to reflect on our own call to bear witness to Christ.
June 30th - The Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul
The Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, honors two of the Church’s greatest apostles, very different men united in their love for Christ and their martyrdom for the Gospel. Peter, the steadfast shepherd of the early Church, and Paul, the fiery missionary to the Gentiles, remind us that God uses all kinds of people to build His Kingdom. This feast invites us to stand firm in the faith they proclaimed and to carry their bold witness into our own lives.
