The Diocese has provided resources for the English-speaking faithful to understand and participate in the liturgical services for the Feast of Pentecost.
Note: There are 2 song handouts available. The abridged version does not include the canons/magnificat in song (as many parishes may just read these parts in prose). The full service is also provided below.

These hymns were versified according to the Syriac tones, using the prose translated by Fr. Dr. Baby Varghese. We welcome any suggestions/comments to improve upon the text and the phrasing of the hymns. Please email them to Dn. Pradeep Hatcher at [email protected] This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (please reference title of the hymn and page number in the booklet).
Special thanks to Sangeetha Thomas (St. Mary's, Farmer's Branch) who formatted the hymns handout and to Alan Alex (St. Gregorios, Dallas) who edited the recordings.
We pray that this may help our English-speaking faithful to sing and understand the meaningful liturgical hymns composed by our Church Fathers about the Feast of Pentecost.
