Pentecost is the feast which celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Apostles nine days after Our Blessed Lord's ascension into heaven. It is rightly called the birthday of the Church because, with the coming of the Holy Spirit, the apostles were no longer frightened, timid men in the upper room. They now had the courage of their convictions and were out preaching and baptizing by the thousands.

How did Roman Catholic Church help the common man?

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. There are literally hundreds of major Catholic relief agencies around the world offering help to the common man. Priests, nuns and lay people are encouraged by the Church to perform acts of charity whether at home or on a mission.

Why is confirmation refereed to as a personal Pentecost?

Confirmation is sometimes referred to as a personal Pentecost because it is seen as a sacrament where individuals receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit, just as the apostles did on the day of Pentecost in the Bible. It is believed to be a time when individuals are fully initiated into the Church and receive the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit to help guide and empower them in their faith journey.
