Next weekend, Sunday, June 30th, we will take up the Peter’s Pence Collection, which provides Pope Francis with the funds he needs to carry out his charitable works around the world. The proceeds benefit our brothers and sisters on the margins of society, including victims of war, oppression, and natural disasters. Please note that this contribution does not qualify as an IRS-defined charitable contribution and, as such, would not be tax deductible.

Students will be preparing homemade French crêpes next Sunday, June 30th, after the 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Masses, as a fundraiser for their upcoming Mission trips. Enjoy crêpes with Nutella and strawberries and help the students serve those in need in St. Louis and Costa Rica.

The next Healing Prayer Service will be on Tuesday, June 25th, at 7:00 p.m. in St. Mary’s Chapel. Come experience the physical and spiritual healing power of the Holy Spirit through group prayer, scripture, praise and worship and the laying on of hands. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is not part of this service.

Holy Spirit Catholic Church is partnering with the Community Assistance Center (CAC) of Sandy Springs for our June Food Drive. The CAC Food Pantry receives an average of 1,200 visits per month, providing food to about 500 families a month. Collection barrels will be located in the Narthex throughout the month of June. Please click here for a food list. Thank you for your generosity. For more information, please contact Mary Konieczny. 

Please note that standard sized containers are best; oversized or family size containers are difficult to pack and carry for clients using public transportation (except for dry goods which can be repackaged into smaller containers). For safety reasons, canned and dry goods past the 3-month expiration date cannot be distributed.

The Sacraments communicate God’s divine life to us, but often it is hard to explain them to others. Does Baptism really make you into someone that can behold the Face of God? Does Holy Matrimony really do anything for the spouses? Is the Eucharist really God?

Join us on Wednesday, June 26th, so you too can be Prepared to talk about the Sacraments!
