Pastor's Note

Fr. Anthony Armbruster reflects on the final Gift of the Holy Spirit, 'Fear of the Lord,' explaining it as reverence for God that helps us avoid sin and detest temptation. He encourages parishioners to be open to the Holy Spirit's guidance and to practice all seven gifts in their daily lives.
