Stephen & Linda Cavalla Judy Tolentino Wilfredo, Barbra & Matthew Estigoy Please pray for the recently deceased Maureen Kilcoyne Eric Rios Edward Schafer Holy Spirit Parish Outreach VOLUNTEERS NEEDED 5-6 volunteers To stand with basket in hand on the 2nd-weeken of each month at the 4:00PM (Sat) & (Sun) Mass Please contact the Holy Spirit Office to sign-up Benefits of Donating with Offertory Envelopes If you are a registered parishioner of Holy Spirit and use offertory envelopes, WE THANK YOU! There may be times when a record of your church attendance might be important: 1) Receiving a family discount at a Catholic School; 2) Permission letters to marry at another church; 3) Sponsorship for Baptisms and Confirmations, etc. The most common way for us to document regular attendance is by reviewing contributions. A Holy Spirit offertory envelope is easiest for us to track since it shows your name and family number. If you contribute using loose checks and cash instead of envelopes: 1) We take copies of all loose checks and then look for your family number in order to post to your name. 2) If you donate cash, we have no way of knowing who it came from unless it is placed in an envelope with your name. If you forget your envelope, please ask the ushers and they will be happy to give you one. Registered parishioners know that the Parish Office will automatically send you an annual statement of your annual contributions, which you may use for tax purposes. If you are not registered with the Parish, it is important to do so. There is a registration form on the bottom of the Parish Bulletin, which may be mailed or dropped in the collection basket. THANK YOU.

Every year, the program provides free transportation for children and their caregivers to the prison. Children receive a travel bag, photo with their parent & meals for the day. On the return home, children are given a teddy bear with a letter from their parent and post-event counseling. Regular parental visits demonstrates better emotional & social adjustment and decreases the degree of juvenile delinquency for children. Additionally, the rate of recidivism for parents decreases while families reuniting increases. Thank you for your continued prayers & support of the children left behind, the silent victims of crime. Culture of Life On Tuesday, May 3rd, join fellow parishioners & others throughout the Fresno Diocese, in a peaceful prayer vigil to promote a Culture of Life. Participants meet on the first Tuesday of each month in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic at 650 N. Fulton St anytime between 7:30 AM- 12:00PM.

4 Y O U T H M I N I S T R Y A N D V O C A T I O N S April 24, 2016 CHRISTIAN VOCATIONS 2nd Annual SSD Dinner Life Teen is in the process of preparing for our 2nd Annual Steubenville San Diego (SSD) fundraiser dinner, which will be held at 5 pm in Logan Hall on Saturday, May 14. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for kids 4-10, and 3/under is free. This will include a chicken and/ or tri-tip dinner, dessert auction, silent auction, and live auction. Please prayerfully consider supporting our teens for this life-changing experience! In addition to purchasing tickets, we need donations of items for both the silent and live (got a cabin to loan?) auctions, drinks, etc. and desserts for the dessert auction. No donation is too small! The SSD Conference is a gathering of 5,000+ Catholic high school teens from all over the West Coast and is held at the University of San Diego the last weekend in July. We have attended every year since they started in San Diego 12 years ago. Please do whatever God leads you to do to help us make it 13 years!! And may God truly bless you for your generosity. Pope Francis says Our generation will show that it can rise to the promise found in each young person when we know how to give them space. This means that we have to create the material and spiritual conditions for their full development; to give them a solid basis on which to build their lives; to guarantee their safety and their education to be everything they can be; to pass on to them lasting values that make life worth living; to give them a transcendent horizon for their thirst for authentic happiness and their creativity for the good; to give them the legacy of a world worthy of human life; and to awaken in them their greatest potential as builders of their own destiny, sharing responsibility for the future of everyone. If we can do all this, we anticipate today the future that enters the world through the window of the young! Get Your Holy Spirit Sweatshirt! Our new logo hooded sweatshirts are available through the Youth Ministry office. All shirts are hooded, but the logo is the same as in the picture. They are available in both adult ($40) and youth ($30) sizes. All proceeds benefit youth ministry at Holy Spirit! Youth Ministry (both Edge and Life Teen) are in dire need of new adult Core Team members for the coming school year. As our programs continue to grow, our small groups have grown to as many as 12 teens or more per adult, which is totally not workable. We need to reduce our numbers to 8 teens per adult at the maximum. After 20 years in youth ministry, I can tell you that it s the most fulfilling thing God has asked of me in my life. To be able to stand in the gap for teens, and to lead them into a personal and intentional relationship with Jesus and His Church is beyond compare. Please consider joining us!!
