Toward the end of this month, parishioners will be receiving information about our capital campaign planning study. Most of you will receive a survey to complete and return, while others may be invited to meet with our Steier Group representative for a brief interview.
 
Your feedback will help parish leaders discern the best path forward as we plan for our participation in the Archdiocese’s capital campaign and explore several proposed priorities for our parish, including:

• Building a parking deck
• Expanding our McDonough Hall
• Renovating our church sanctuary
• Growing our parish endowments

Please watch for more information in the mail and see the video from Fr. Ballman which explains these projects in greater detail. We are eager for your feedback!

Interested in becoming Catholic?

We are now enrolling for the next session of O.C.I.A. which will begin on Sunday August 9 and conclude on Sunday November 22, with reception into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church at the 5:00 PM Vigil Mass on Saturday November 21. The class will meet on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM, with Mass offered either before or after at 8:30 AM or 11:30 AM. Class will not meet on Labor Day, Columbus Day, or Thanksgiving weekends.

A nominal fee of $35 is required to register for the course; this fee helps cover the cost of books and other materials.

Because acceptance into the program requires pastoral approval, prospective O.C.I.A. participants should begin gathering sacramental documents, including, if applicable, certificates of baptism and marriage. Remote and in-person interviews with participants are underway; please e-mail Dr. David King to arrange registration. The deadline for registration is Sunday July 26.

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

A warm welcome can make all the difference for someone new to Holy Spirit. Through the Welcome Ministry, parishioners are occasionally paired with new members in a similar stage of life to help them build connections during their first few months here. Whether it's sitting together at Mass, sharing a cup of coffee, or introducing them to a ministry, your kindness can help someone feel at home.

Help make Holy Spirit feel like home. Sign up to join the Welcome Ministry at hsccatl.com/ministries.

Your faithful stewardship supports ministries that share Christ’s love beyond Sunday Mass. During the 2025–2026 ministry year, our Prayer Shawl Ministry handcrafted more than 300 prayer shawls, blankets, hats, scarves, and baby items for parishioners in need, residents of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, local homeless shelters, Marillac Moms, and parish families welcoming a new child. The ministry also raised $1,485 through raffles and sales of handcrafted items to support the residents of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

Interested in supporting the Prayer Shawl Ministry? Stop by their table at this year’s Ministry Fair, August 29 and 30, to purchase one of their beautiful handcrafted items.

Has Holy Spirit impacted your faith, family, or sense of community? We'd love to hear your story as we highlight the many ways God is at work through our parish and share stories that inspire and strengthen our parish family. Contact Sarah Savoie at ssavoie@hsccatl.com.

In June, the Holy Spirit St. Vincent de Paul Conference received 13 requests for assistance and helped 13 households—including 2 parish families—serving 29 neighbors, 11 of them children.

Through food assistance, housing support, pharmacy services, and home visits, St. Vincent de Paul helps families across Georgia find greater stability and renewed hope.

Your support of this weekend's Collection for the Poor makes these acts of mercy possible. Please consider making a gift to a Vincentian holding a basket after Mass or by donating online. Thank you for helping our parish love our neighbors in practical, life-changing ways.
