Message From Father Karl


Pentecost is the feast of God’s breath becoming God’s body. Across all four readings, the Spirit does not simply arrive—the Spirit creates, gathers, animates, and sends. The texts move from breath to speech, from speech to understanding, from understanding to belonging, from belonging to mission.


I am looking forward to preaching these inspiring texts this Sunday as we, the people of God, gather to celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is more than the church’s birthday; it is the church learning to breathe.


Please wear red.

Blessings,

Father Karl

Songs of Love and Longing

This past Sunday, Ithan Hall blossomed into a musical garden as over thirty people gathered for Songs of Love and Longing. Voices of Joy Schauer, Bethann Dilione, and Kerry Ann Erickson-Felps carried the beauty of Hahn, Poulenc, Berlioz, Fauré, and Massenet through the room. Beyond the windows, the Memorial Garden trees shimmered in golden light, as if listening in. Nina, Patrick Gauthron, and Lori Dugan concluded the afternoon with refreshments.
