CONGRATULATIONS SISTER HELEN! As you may have read in the Press Republican last week, a familiar face was recently named as the new Principal for Seton Academy, Sister Helen Hermann, SSJ. Sister Helen will be replacing Sister Brian M. Latour, RSM who is retiring at the end of this current academic year after a lifetime of dedication to Catholic education. Sister Helen has taught on the Seton faculty since its opening in September of 2006, and brings to her new role at Seton a lifelong commitment to elementary education with over 20 years of experience as a Catholic school principal in the North Country. We wish her all the best in her new role as principal, and offer her our prayers as she continues the work of making Seton Academy a Catholic School that educates the whole person in a disciplined and caring environment. Seton Academy is St. James Parish Catholic Elementary School.

PENTECOST SUNDAY: The final act of the New Covenant is the gift of the
Holy Spirit, who is described as "Advocate" and "Spirit of truth." Jesus tells us in today's Gospel reading from John that all that God has given him will now be given to us. In this sense, the truth that we are given is the one truth which cannot be denied, and that is that the only path to the kingdom of heaven and the saving grace of our Lord is through true, unfaltering belief and love in Jesus Christ. And that truth is not to be kept to ourselves but joyfully shared with others without fear or doubt. It is up to us. On the day of Pentecost, the church was given to the world through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. The gift of the Spirit ushers in a new era in the dispensation of the mystery, the age of the Church, during which Christ manifests, makes present, and communicates his work of salvation through the liturgy of his Church. From a tiny spark 2,000 years ago, the church has blazed forth like a raging fire throughout the world. Each and every one of us who believes has been given a part in this celebration, a gift we cannot deny.
