Save the Date of Thursday, June 4, for our parish Corpus Christi Mass and Eucharistic Procession. Mass will be celebrated at 6:00 PM in the Church, followed by the procession around the church and school campuses. All children who have received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion in May are invited to wear their First Communion attire and walk together in the procession. Parents of our First Communicants are invited to sign their child up here.

The procession will conclude with 40 Hours of Eucharatic Adoration in St. Mary's Chapel. Volunteers are needed to serve as guardians throughout the 40 hours, which encompasses our First Friday Adoration on June 5. Sign up to serve as a guardian here.

All children of the parish who have received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion are warmly invited to join our Altar Server Ministry. Training will take place on Sunday, June 7, at 3:00 PM in the Church. Contact Deacon Allen Underwood with questions.

Father Joseph Nguyen has been appointed Parochial Vicar of Holy Vietnamese Martyrs Church in Norcross, effective July 1. We are deeply grateful for Father Joseph’s faithful service to our parish and for the many ways he has shared his joyful spirit and priestly ministry with our community — especially through his work with youth, the homebound, pro-life ministry, and parish life.

 

Please save the date for a farewell reception in honor of Father Joseph on Sunday, June 21, as we thank him for his service and wish him well in his new assignment. Please continue to keep Father Joseph in your prayers during this time of transition.

Newly ordained Fr. Sean Lee has been appointed parochial vicar here at Holy Spirit. We look forward with great joy to welcoming soon-to-be Father Lee to our parish community this summer. His assignment at Holy Spirit begins on July 1, 2026. Please keep him in your prayers as he prepares for ordination and begins his priestly ministry.

We also are announcing that Debbie Slinkard has stepped away from her role on parish staff. Over the past year and a half, Debbie has faithfully served Holy Spirit in the areas of development, stewardship, and parishioner engagement, helping strengthen many important parish initiatives, including the offertory campaign, the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, and the launch of Endowment Sunday.

We are grateful for Debbie’s dedication, generosity, and vision, which have helped place these efforts on a strong foundation for the future. While we will miss her presence on staff, we are grateful that Debbie and her family will remain active members of our parish community. Please join us in thanking Debbie for her many contributions to Holy Spirit and in wishing her and her family every blessing in the years ahead.

As you head out on your summer adventures, don’t forget to pack your faith along with your sunscreen! Whether you’re in the mountains, at the beach, or exploring a new city, we’d love to see you and /or your family at Mass wherever your travels take you.

Snap a quick selfie at the church you visit —inside or out — and share it with us! We’ll be posting a display of our parish family attending Mass around the globe on social media. It’s a beautiful way to stay connected and to remind ourselves (and others!) that there’s no vacation from Mass.

Send your photos to us via email at communications@hsccatl.com and tag us on social media with these hashtags:  #HSCCATL  #MassOnTheMove  #FaithTravels  #CatholicTraveler

Let’s celebrate the universal Church and inspire each other to stay rooted in faith wherever we go! ! Follow us on Facebook (@HolySpiritCatholicChurchATL) and on Instagram (@hsccatl). Bon voyage!

Holy Spirit is excited to announce that internationally acclaimed sculptor Timothy Schmalz has been commissioned to create several pieces of art for the expansion of our Memorial Garden. Many parishioners may recall that in January 2022, we hosted a replica of the Angels Unawares sculpture which is permanently installed at Catholic University of America in Washington, DC (the original piece is in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican). Some of Mr. Schmalz’s other notable pieces include Homeless Jesus, which is installed in several places, including St. Peter’s Square, New York City, and Toronto, and Gospel Garden / Stations of the Cross located at Mary Queen of the Universe Basilica in Orlando.

Mr. Schmalz will unveil his renderings for our Memorial Garden expansion during a special presentation on Tuesday, June 9, from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM in McDonough Hall. Learn more about the artist here. Additionally, information regarding Holy Spirit’s Early Bird niche reservation process for the expanded Memorial Garden and Columbarium will also be shared during the presentation.

On this Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, we celebrate a God who is a communion of love—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our faith reminds us that we are created for relationships: with God and with one another.

Members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul seek to live that love through spirituality, friendship, and service. There are many ways to serve—helping with collections, returning calls, making home visits, or assisting with data entry. We’ll help you find a place where your gifts can make a difference.

If you feel called to grow in faith while serving others, we invite you to learn more. Join us on Tuesday, June 16, in the Lower Level of the Administration Building— 6:30 PM fellowship, 7:00 PM meeting. Questions: svdp@hsccatl.com.

Thank you to all parishioners who have already supported the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. Through your generosity, Holy Spirit has raised over 50% of our parish goal of $320,770.

A portion of last year’s overage is being used to commission a Portrait of Pentecost for McDonough Hall. We are currently working with Pam Gardner, the same artist who painted the Georgia Martyr Portrait outside of St. Mary’s Chapel.
