Feast of Pentecost
May 24, 2026
The Easter season culminates in the
Feast of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles and marks the beginning of the Church. Both the Acts of the Apostles and John 20:19-23 proclaim this gift of the Spirit, emphasizing that after his death and resurrection, Jesus fulfilled his promise to send a helper who would strengthen his disciples to bear witness throughout the world.
In John’s Gospel, Jesus greets the disciples with peace and commissions them to continue the work he began: “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” By breathing the Holy Spirit upon them, he recalls God’s gift of life at creation and reveals that the Spirit empowers the Church to carry forward Christ’s mission of forgiveness and new life.
This Gospel ultimately teaches that the Church is called to be a reconciling presence in the world. Through the sacraments, especially Baptism and Penance, believers experience Christ’s mercy and are made new. In daily life, Christians are likewise called to extend that mercy by becoming agents of peace, forgiveness, and harmony in times of conflict.
LOOKING BACK
A JOYFUL RETURN
With grateful hearts, we welcomed Father Ray back to the altar. His journey of healing after his successful kidney transplant has been a testament to faith and resilience. We thank God for his recovery and for the gift of his continued ministry among us.
Thanksgiving Mass, May 3, 2026, before the 12:30 pm Mass entrance procession, in front of the church. L to R: Father Ifeanyichukwu Iwubunkeonye (Parochial Vicar), Father Francis Garbo (Pastor, The Mission Dolores Basilica), Father Raymund Reyes (Pastor), Father Raphael Lazier, Deacon Virgil Capetti, and Deacon Nestor Fernandez.
A match made in heaven: Fellow priests and countrymen become blood brothers as kidney donor and recipient
By Christina Gray | CSF Magazine | Archdiocese of San Francisco
By the time Father Raymund Reyes, the longtime pastor of St. Augustine Parish made an appeal to his South San Francisco parish community last fall, he’d been living more or less privately with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for over five years. Parishioners and fellow priests had taken notice of their beloved pastor’s weight loss and wan complexion. Only a few knew about the crippling fatigue, shortness of breath, edema, and infections he endured while fulfilling his pastoral duties.
“Would you consider being a donor for me?” the 62-year-old priest asked his parish in a Sept. 25, 2025, letter which detailed his dire...

Also each Friday, from 4:30pm, there's an opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Confession. Our refurbished Confessional, provides the traditional screen that separates the priest confessor from the penitent as well as the option for a face to face confession.
Thanks to Deacon Virgil and the Liturgical Arts for making this sacred space for spiritual healing and reconciliation.

ANSWERING THE CALL
Today's Catholic Parents express some misconceptions about the priesthood as a vocation for their son. We'll hear them say, "He's too young... He'll be lonely... I won't have grandchildren... He'll be unhappy... I'll lose my son...."
The ideal Catholic parent understands a simple truth: that God desires the child's happiness even more than any parent does. If one's son experiences a genuine call or interest to becoming a priest someday, trust in God's love for him.
Below is the link to the Resources of Parents that answers to common misconceptions about the priesthood.
PRAY for the perseverance of our seminarians, especially those who are from the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

KEEPING OUR PARISH CLEAN: A Call to Action from our Ecology Committee (EC)
Keeping Our Parish Clean:
A Call to Action from our EC
As we come together in fellowship, it’s important that we also take responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness of our church environment. After each event, ESPECIALLY those involving food, please ensure that all trash—whether it be compost, recycling, or regular waste—is disposed of properly. Trash and compost bags must be tied securely and placed in the designated dumpsters before leaving.
By keeping our spaces clean and free from waste, we not only protect the health of our community by preventing pests, but we also avoid costly clean-up fees. Let’s all do our part to preserve the beauty and safety of our parish for everyone.
Thank you all for your cooperation!

STEWARDSHIP
The grateful response of a Christian disciple who recognizes, receives and cultivates God’s gifts, and generously shares these gifts in love of God and neighbor.
Pope Leo XIV declared the
2026 Franciscan Jubilee Year (Year of St. Francis of Assisi), running from
January 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027), to mark the 800th anniversary of the death (Latin: Transitus) of Saint Francisc of Assisi. This special year invites the faithful to
embrace Peace, Care for Creation (Ecology) and Work for the Poor.
This weekend, May 9 & 10, Saint Augustine Church will formally launch the Franciscan Jubilee Year. The altar of St. Francis and the San Damiano Cross will find its place near the sanctuary throughout the jubilee year.
In addition, this Year of St. Francis is truly beneficial for the entire archdiocese. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of the City and County of San Francisco as well as the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
The Franciscan Jubilee Year is perfect timing as we face similar dangers that were present at the time when St. Francis lived – 800 years ago. His message of Peace then was needed now more than ever. The Jubilee Prayer for peace that was composed by Pope Leo XIV will be prayed at mass throughout the jubilee year.
FR. RAY REYES
In observance of
THE FRANCISCAN JUBILEE YEAR
Holy Cards will be found in the hymnals’ jacket beginning on
May 9 & 10, 2026 through January 10, 2027. Copies will also be distributed after each Mass on May 9 and 10.
