Dear Holy Spirit,

A few months ago, I mentioned the parish hall roof may need to be replaced. With the amount of the much-needed rain we received last winter, we found leaks. We worked with the diocesan facilities director and various roofers and were advised that the best solution was to replace the hall roof.

Pastoral Plan Update

Thank You, Holy Spirit!

Holy Spirit, thanks for coming and serving with us, this year, and throughout the years.

The families from San Benito will never forget the days you showed up to help and walk alongside them. They'll remember them forever because you made Christ more visible through it all. We are truly grateful for everything. Thanks for all you did.

Pack a Back Still Accepting Monetary Donations!

We are very grateful to everyone who has donated backpacks and school supplies, and volunteered to help during our Pack a Back school supplies drive. Thank you! We are no longer collecting items, but we are still accepting monetary donations, and there are a still few slots open for volunteering on either Packing Day July 29 or Distribution Day August 3.

If you haven’t donated yet, now is the perfect time to do so! As Sacred Heart takes inventory of donated items, they will use monetary donations to makes bulk purchases of items still needed to ensure there is enough for every child. This year, Sacred Heart will be providing 4,000 local children in need with a backpack and a bag of grade-specific school supplies. Please help Holy Spirit meet our donation goal of $7,000. Click here to donate..

Thank you Holy Spirit for your generous support! Your investment in education today will have a long-term positive impact on breaking the cycle of poverty.

Alpha

What is Alpha?

 The Alpha course is an opportunity to explore spirituality from a Christian perspective. 

It presents the basic teachings of the Christian faith. The course is open to anyone who is interested in exploring whether Jesus Christ has relevance in their lives. It provides an interesting and informative way to understand Jesus, the cornerstone of our faith. 

 What’s involved?

Once a week, for 5 weeks in the Fall and 5 weeks in Winter, Alpha participants share an informal meal, listen to a series of talks and then have small group discussions on such topics as: “Christianity: Boring, Untrue, and Irrelevant?” “How Can I Be Sure of My Faith?” and “Why and How Should I Read the Bible?” This may be an opportunity to make a personal connection with Christ, the Living Lord, the way, the truth and the life.

 When is the next course?

This fall beginning on Tuesday, September 12th at 6 pm.

How do I start?

Registration will be online starting August 15th.
