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 and here on our Home Page, the flyer from the Diocese of Yakima about an upcoming exhibition of over 50 First Class Relics at the upcoming Mass of Confirmation this Sunday, May 24, 2026 to be held at the Yakima SunDome at 3:00 pm. Finally, I have included with the flyer a primer on the role, point and purpose of relics in the Catholic Church.

For your information, the priests of the Diocese of Yakima will be away on retreat this week, from Monday afternoon through Friday afternoon (5/18-5/22). Other than Mass celebrated on Monday at St. John at 8:30am and a Eucharist Service in the Absence of a Priest this Thursday at 6:00pmat St. Juan Diego, there will be no other liturgies celebrated in the Upper Yakima Valley this weekend. The regular weekendMass schedule will resume next weekend.

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 will receive the Holy Spirit by the imposition of hands and anointing this coming Sunday; Pentecost Sunday. They will be joined by hundreds of other confirmandi, their sponsors and family members, from the parishes around the Greater Yakima Valley at the Yakima SunDome at 3:00pm this Sunday. Bishop Tyson is inviting Catholics from across the greater Yakima Valley to come be with our youth as they complete their journey through the Sacraments of Initiation.

Easter blessings to you and your family.
