Welcome To
St. Aloysius Catholic Church
Novena to the Holy Spirit
Start Date: Friday, May 22, 2020
End Date: Saturday, May 30, 2020
Feast Day: Sunday, May 31, 2020
Follow the example of the original "Novena" ("9 days") when the Apostles prayed in the 9 days leading up to a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He promised He wouldn't leave them alone (John 14:16). Once the Apostles received the gifts of the Holy Spirit, their grief was turned into joy (John 16:20) and they boldly proclaimed the mighty acts of God to people of every language (Acts 2:4).
Go here to pray the novena to the Holy Spirit daily...
PENTECOST
Tongues of Fire and the Feast of Weeks
The word in Greek, pentecostē, literally means the 50th.
Check out this YouTube clip with Dr. Brant Pitre on Pentecost and the impact it would have had on the first century audience who would've seen or read about the actions of the Holy Spirit.

Message From Archbishop Etienne

Prayer to Our Lady of Seattle
Holy Mary, we come before you as spiritual children in great need, seeking your intercession, and asking that your mantle of love surround us to console, protect, and lead us to your son Jesus.
We entrust all of God's family, especially the church in Western Washington, into your immaculate hands. With your son Jesus' gentle power you can undo any knot in our church, and in the lives of believers who entrust themselves to your care.
Today I especially entrust to you [mention request/Coronavirus here], and I ask that --through your intercession, and that of St. James, our guardian angels, and the faithful in our archdiocese -- we may be free from every spiritual and temporal ill, and be safely led to encounter your son's merciful, sacred heart.
Our Lady of Seattle, Undoer of Knots pray for us!

Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most holy Eucharist. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
Q&A
Q. What do I do if I cannot go to confession or receive Holy Communion because of the Coronavirus?
A. In the circumstances of public Mass being suspended and Lenten penance services being canceled, there are devotions that enable you to receive forgiveness of your sins (under certain conditions) and the consolation of the grace of the Eucharist. These devotions have been encouraged by the church in times of great distress and have been practiced by the saints.

Bells in Solidarity
To demonstrate our solidarity with everyone who is impacted by the coronavirus, we will ring the church bells at noon. At this time, we encourage you to pray the Angelus as a family in your homes and conclude with the prayer to Our Lady of Seattle.
The Angelus Prayer (English)
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail, Mary …
V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail, Mary …
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought to the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
