Join Us Today for Our Parish Anniversary Celebration and to Bid Farewell to Fr. Suarez

Today is the Solemnity of Pentecost - our parish feast day! Join after the 11:30 AM Mass for food, fellowship and FUN as we conclude our year-long 60th Anniversary celebration. We will have food from Pero’s Pizza and Taqueria Cuernavca.


We will also bid a fond farewell to Fr. Roberto Suarez as he leaves at the end of June for his new assignment as Administrator of St. Helena Catholic Church in Clayton. We are grateful for his service to both the Anglo and Latino communities since coming to Holy Spirit and wish Fr. Suarez all the best at his new assignment.

Meet Our Summer Seminarian Mateo Zambrano

We are excited to welcome Mateo Zambrano, our summer seminarian, to Holy Spirit. Mateo will be helping us out through the end of July. You may learn more about Mateo here. Please be sure to give him a "Holy Spirit" welcome!

Father's Day Novena of Masses

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 15. Honor the special men in your life through our Father’s Day Novena of Masses. Spiritual bouquet packets are in the Narthex—fill out the outer envelope and place it in the offertory basket or bring it to the parish office. Then send the enclosed card to your loved one.

Summer Travel Selfie Challenge!

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.

Prayer Line Ministry: Lift Others in Prayer - One Email at a Time

Is intercessory prayer one of your spiritual gifts? Do you have prayer requests to bind with others in prayer? Holy Spirit has an active Prayer Line ministry, and our sole purpose is to pray for others’ needs. Nothing is required except for an email address and the willingness to spend a few minutes in prayer when you receive a request. For more information on joining or submitting a prayer intention, please email Catherine Fuss.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors: You Make it Possible

In April, our St. Vincent de Paul ministry responded to 12 calls to our parish hotline -providing assistance to 8 households and 16 neighbors, including 3 children.

Because of your generosity - through donations, prayers, and time - we were able to fill empty pantries, keep families in their homes, and bring comfort and hope to those facing hardship.

There are many ways to serve: answering hotline calls, collecting donations after Mass, making home visits, or simply joining us in prayer and fellowship. Whether you have an hour or a heart to give, your presence makes a difference. Email us at SVDP@HSCCATL.com to learn more.
