Religious sisters and brothers will celebrate at least 50 years of service on Sunday, June 18, at the annual Jubiliarian Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

The annual event will recognize the service of 15 sisters and three brothers from 10 religious communities, who took their vows at least 50 and as many as 75 years ago. Many have served overseas as missionaries during that time.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan will recognize their service at the Sunday 10:15 Mass. Some of the jubilarians in attendance will participate in the Mass by acting as lectors or bringing forward the offertory gifts. Members of the public are welcome.

The Mass will also celebrate Father’s Day, which falls on June 18 this year.

In his homily from today’s Mass at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Fr. Enrique Salvo shares a story about the power of the Holy Spirit from his time in seminary. When the Holy Spirit illuminates us, even the smallest thing we do is an act of the Holy Spirit.
