We end the season of Easter with the feast of Pentecost. We will pray with faith for the coming of the Holy Spirit. For this reason, we are organizing this Pentecost Vigil. We want to experience the power of Pentecost through the celebration of this vigil.
If you have never been to a Pentecost Vigil, it is a special Vigil Mass to prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Pentecost Vigil is similar to the Easter Vigil, with 5 readings plus the Gospel, and will conclude with a long prayer of laying of hands. We expect this Pentecost Vigil to be approximately three hours long. Fr. Iván Pertiné will be presiding at this Mass.
Because of limited seating, we are giving priority to St Michael parishioners. If you don’t come regularly to St. Michael but are interested in joining us, please contact Danielle Wheeler at worksofmercy@stmichaelportland.org
Those who sign up for it are invited to prepare themselves with the Pentecost Novena.
We WILL have the 5 p.m. vigil Mass this day.
