The Feast of Pentecost was given an international flavour when celebrated recently in St John the Baptist Church, Midleton, County Cork. People from twelve different countries in the parish prayed the Lord’s Prayer in their own language as part of the Pentecost Service.

The Service also focussed on the fruits of the Spirit. With the help of parishioner Lynda Deane each member of the congregation was invited to write a fruit of the Spirit or a prayer on an especially constructed screen on the church.
