Pentecost Sunday: One miracle of Pentecost was that, despite their diversity, listeners heard God’s word in his or her own language. The meaning for stewardship is that, by sharing the gifts poured out on us by the Holy Spirit, we will be empowered to meet the needs of our brothers and sisters, whatever they may be.

The Sooner Catholic is the bi-weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. In each issue there appears a message of importance from our archbishop as well as local, statewide, national, and international Catholic news. Archbishop Beltran intends for each Catholic household in the archdiocese to receive this newspaper. The paper is sent to all Catholic families free of charge. If anyone is not receiving the Sooner Catholic, please call the parish office because this means there may be something remiss in our record keeping as well.
