Pentecost - Not the birthday of the church?
"Happy Pentecost! The church was born today!"
Sounds familiar? You might hear this from your parish priest during the celebration of Pentecost, 50 days after Easter.

Join Father Ferdinand Purnomo OCD as he addresses this common misconception.
About the speaker:
Fr Ferdinand holds a licentiate in Biblical Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University (Rome). He is the spiritual director for the Archdiocesan Biblical Apostolate and the Catholic Theology Network in Singapore.
