Celebrating Pentecost Pentecost will be celebrated on Sunday 24 May 2026, fifty days after Easter Sunday. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Our Lady and the Apostles. PRAY WITH ARCHBISHOP BERNARD - NOVENA FROM ASCENSION TO PENTECOST Recorded in 2022 ‘That God may raise us up’ Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. (Lk 24:51) Lift us up with you, Lord Jesus Christ, from the sickness, suffering, fear and grief of these last months. Bless all that your body, the Church, has achieved through her worship of God and her care of God’s children. Renew the Holy Spirit among us, that, sent like your apostles, to the people of our diocese, all may contribute to the proclamation of God’s word and to the growth of God’s kingdom. Amen Thy Kingdom Come Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus. It began in May 2016. 2026 Theme: God with usThursday 14 - Sunday 24 May This year’s Thy Kingdom Come is all about the presence of God through His spirit.
