Archbishop Naumann has asked everyone to pray for the Holy Spirit to guide our efforts to create within the archdiocese, and all of our parishes and ministries, a culture of evangelization. A culture of evangelization means not merely maintaining the status quo, but being dedicated to sharing the truth, beauty and goodness of our Catholic faith with others. With a large number of nonpracticing Catholics and an even larger number of individuals who claim no religious affiliation, those of us blessed with the joy that only Jesus and life in his church can bring to our hearts, have an obligation to share the gift of our faith with others.
 
In preparation for the solemnity of Pentecost on May 20, Archbishop Naumann is encouraging individuals and parishes to pray a Holy Spirit novena, begging the Holy Spirit to rekindle the fire of his love here in northeast Kansas. Also, please consider praying daily, or as frequently as possible, one of the prayers to the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit Novena - begins on Friday, May 11 and ends on Pentecost, Sunday, May 20
