A Word from Your Pastor February 26

Dear Parishioners:

We welcome Bishop Frederick F. Campbell to St. Timothy Church once again for the Sacrament of Confirmation.  The successor to the Apostles who has been given to us in the Diocese of Columbus to safeguard the sacred deposit of Faith is coming to us to impart the Gift of the Holy Spirit to members of the next generation of Catholic Christians. 

This simple celebration puts us in contact with the living Tradition of the Church, the handing on of Faith and the outpouring of the Gifts of the Spirit to strengthen and sustain our witness to Jesus Christ.

As we pray for our Confirmation class, we also ought to seek a renewal of the Gift of the Spirit in our hearts.  The occasion of the offering of the Sacrament to a new generation is always a moment of invitation for us to commit ourselves again to the common life of the Spirit.  Each spark of the Spirit is capable of bringing God into the world.  Every heart that opens to Him and accepts the responsibility to witness His Love draws us closer to the Kingdom.


Come, Holy Spirit!
