Pentecost can be considered the "birthday of the Church" because of (any of these reasons).
From that day on the Church grew -
in number (3000 people were baptized that day)
in geographic influence (the way of life Christ taught the apostles was brought to all areas of the Roman empire)
in social influence (the transformation of selfish living to selfless living was evident in the many martyrs of the early Church as well as the ethical implications of choices made in selfless living)
These are 2 rights and 1 of the responsibilities of baptized Catholics.
Baptized Catholics have a right to

5. to follow the precepts of the Church.
This is Mrs Jone's favorite quote from the 1st version of the textbook.
We lose our separateness in the experience of Eucharistic Communion.
We become more fully Church.
We become more fully Christ.
this is the prayer that calls the Holy Spirit to transform the gifts of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ
