PENTECOST SUNDAY CELEBRATION

AND HEALING SERVICE

Sunday, May 19, 2024 at 2:30pm

Celebrate PENTECOST Sunday

and be HEALED

When the first believers of Christianity gathered in a house on Pentecost, "a strong driving wind" filled the house.  Then a form of tongues of fire settled upon each of those gathered.  This strong wind and fire lingered, energized, and transformed the first disciples. The Holy Spirit, the Third Person, whom Jesus promised to guide us in all truth, has descended on Pentecost, gave birth to the Chuch and healed those who received Him.

Come and be filled with the Holy Spirit and be HEALED from all health and spiritual challenges through the celebration of Pentecost Sunday and a Healing Service with a laying on of hands next Sunday, May 19th, at 2:30pm.

The Catholic Charismatic Renewal of the Archdiocese of San Francisco will be hosting this annual Pentecost Sunday celebration.

TEA PARTY for a Good Cause

Calling All Ladies of St. Agustine, Young and Old

Saturday, June 8th, 1pm-4pm

To SAC Parish Ministers 

(Ordained and Lay Ministers)

With the rise of violence over the years, Senate Bill 533 Workplace Violence Prevention was signed into law on September 30, 2023, requiring workplaces including houses of worship, to have written violence prevention plans and employee training programs by July 1, 2024.  

Because of this, Clergy and Lay Ministers in the parish must follow the same personnel policies and practices as lay employees. They are mandated to attend the required training no later than July 1, 2024, and annually thereafter.  

The law will be enforced by the California Occupational Health and Safety Administration (Cal/OSHA) and violations will include civil penalties and misdemeanors.

To comply with this new law, Saint Augustine is providing a Safety Awareness and Emergency Preparedness Training for all Clergy and Lay Ministers on Saturday, June 22, 2024, from 10AM to 3:30PM.  In addition, Sgt. Sean Curmi of the SSF Police Department will conduct the “Violent Intruder Training” in Church settings.

All Clergy and Lay Ministers of Saint Augustine Church are asked to make their best effort to attend this mandatory training.

Since lunch will be provided, parish leaders are requested to text their group’s headcount to Rita Liu (Service Commission) at (650) 307-8296 by June 15.

Thank you for your continued support in making Saint Augustine a safe place for all of us.

Bishop Mylo Vergara, Presider

April 13th, the day of the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation, was full of hope with the conferral of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to the 46 youth of SAC.  We received a clear message that we have a future from these young people who were blessed and full of zeal to make a difference.  

We continue to pray for them and accompany them in fulfilling what God desires them to be.  We appreciate the many people who have been accompanying them in their faith formation, their parents, sponsors and the catechists.  

Below is the link to the photos taken before, during and after the celebration of the Sacrament. 

Thanks to Rachel Grecia for capturing these unforgettable moments in the lives of our newly confirmed and their families.
