A New Pentecost

On June 7, at Old St. Mary’s Church, Cincinnati Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk will celebrate the annual commitment Mass for the Fathers of Pentecost. He will receive the final promises from Old St. Mary’s pastor, Father Al Lauer, as well as Father David Kennedy. He will also pray for the Lay People of Pentecost and for those beginning the first ever novitiate for the Fathers and Brothers of Pentecost.

Dennis Dooley from Evansville, Ind., along with Kevin Wartman from Ludlow, Ky., are both discerning the Brothers of Pentecost. Two others, Roger Kunkel and Dan Hunt, both of Cincinnati, are entering into the discernment process for the Fathers of Pentecost. David O’Donnell and Glen Szezechowski continue their training for the priesthood as members of the Fathers of Pentecost (FP).

The FP are an association of priests and seminarians. These men are forming a religious community of priests to live in "prophetic poverty" for the purpose of cross-cultural evangelization in North America, e.g. native peoples, immigrant Hispanics, urban blacks and rural Appalachians. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of the association. She looked and dressed like an American Indian, but she crushed beneath her feet the false Gods of the Aztecs. Please pray for the Fathers and Brothers of Pentecost, and attend the Archbishop’s Mass on June 7, 2000.
