Bishop Robert Barron's Sunday Sermon - May 24, 2026
For Pentacost Sunday - 05/24/26
The Gospel According to: John 20:19-23
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."
Resurrected Jesus passes through the locked doors of the upper room where His disciples were hiding from the Jews. Robed in white and glowing with an aura of light surrounding Him, He breathed upon His Disciples so they would receive the The Holy Spirit, the "Advocate," to live in them.

Greetings,
I hope that you are well.
I have attached the bulletin for the parishes to the "About" pages for this weekend, as well as for last weekend's, the Sixth Sunday in Easter. I hope that you will find both informative.
I have, for your perusal, attached to the "Liturgy" pages a primer on the "Mass: Liturgy of the Eucharist, and "God's Gift of Penance and the Sacrament of Reconciliation," made available by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. I have as well, attached a flyer for Eucharistic Adoration available at the parishes of the greater Yakima area, and also, attached to the "News" pages, the flyer from the Diocese of Yakima about the exhibition of over 50 First Class Relics at the Mass of Confirmation that was held on Sunday, May 24, 2026 at the Yakima SunDome. Finally, I have included with the flyer a primer on the role, point and purpose of relics in the Catholic Church.
As the Diocese of Yakima celebrates it's 75th Anniversary, the parish of St. Juan Diego is proud to announce that their 2026 Confirmation class received the Holy Spirit by the imposition of hands and anointing on Sunday, May 24th; Pentecost Sunday. They were joined by hundreds of other confirmandi, their sponsors and family members, from the parishes around the Greater Yakima Valley at the Yakima SunDome. Bishop Tyson and Catholics from across the greater Yakima Valley came to be with our youth as they completed their journey through the Sacraments of Initiation. Congratulations and Welcome Home!
Blessings to you and your family.
