4-H Project


What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?i If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it?  James 2:14-16 

Riley and Reagan Stokes are sponsoring an Unmentionable Collection as a part of their 4-H Project. Please see the flyer in this week’s bulletin for more details and a personal letter from them. They are working to help children at the Boy’s Ranch and Children’s Home. 

You may place your items in their collection boxes in the Gathering Space or bring to the office. Thank you for your generosity and support helping these two young ladies help other children. that need our support.

Serve at St. Benedict’s

Holy Spirit serves dinner at St. Benedict’s to the homeless and food insecure quite each week. Many compassionate HSCP parishioners serve either on Monday evenings, on the 2nd Thursday of the month, every 6 weeks on Saturday evenings, and breakfast every Sunday morning. Thank you to all our volunteers. As you may have already realized your efforts are appreciated by those you serve. You’re a blessing to them.

There are some openings to help serve on our Thursday assignment. Please take some time to consider helping serve on the second Thursday of the month from 4:40—6:00 pm or on the 5th Saturday.

If you prefer to work behind the scenes, another opportunity is to prepare food every 5th Saturday. If you can help, please email amy@holyspiritlubbock.org or call the office and let us know when you can help. Thank you!

Can you Serve? Liturgical Ministers needed.

Holy Spirit has a large group who help each Mass run smoothly by volunteering to serve as altar servers, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, lectors/readers, ceremonial ministers and audio-visual monitors. As our parish continues to flourish and grow, so does our need for volunteers.

Volunteers are assigned on a rotating basis to avoid having any one person serve every weekend. Currently, to completely meet the ministry needs at each Mass the following additional volunteers are needed.

5:00 Saturday  5 Altar Servers and 10 Eucharistic Ministers.
8:00 Sunday 16 EMs and 1 Audio-visual
10:30 Sunday 45 EMS and 3 Audio-visual
4:00 Sunday 7 Altar Servers, 16 Ems and 2 Audio-visual.

Please take some time to consider how you might be able to help as a liturgical minister.  As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace. 1Peter 4:10

Many are called, will you answer?  If you could help please contact Jo Mogan at croknitmom1984@ gmail.com or call the parish office 806.698.6400 You can also sign up using the Volunteer Form

Prayer for My Parish

Prayer for My Parish

Almighty God, my parish is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly if I am. It will be holy if I am. Its pews will be filled if I help fill them. It will do great work if I work. It will be prayerful if I pray. It will make generous gift so many causes if I am a generous giver. It will bring other people into its worship if I invite and bring them. It will be a parish family of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy if I — who make it what it is — am filled with the same qualities. Therefore, with the help of God, I will dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my parish to be. Bless my journey, Lord God,  Bless my journey, Lord God, that I might follow Jesus and build the Church for Your glory. Amen.
