A NOTE FROM THE HARRISBURG DIOCESE ON A SCHISMATIC GROUP:
Recently, a group has been gathering at a Harrisburg area hotel on Sunday for a Latin Mass. The person presenting himself as a priest is a member of the Roman Catholic Institute, a schismatic group that rejects the authority of the Holy Father, the local Bishop and the validity of the Second Vatican Council. This group is not in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, and Catholics should not participate in these services. In the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, there are three churches where the Mass is legitimately celebrated in Latin according to the Roman Missal of 1962. They are: St. Lawrence of Rome Church in Harrisburg, St. Joseph Church in Lancaster, and St. Elijah the Prophet Oratory in Mt. Carmel.
8:30AM MASS INSIDE:
Due to the change in pastor starting June 16, we have been informed by the diocese to not make changes to our Masses. Our typical 8:30am outside Mass that was suppose to start June 1 will have to wait until Father Metzger arrives. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. We apologize for the confusion.

ST. MICHAEL’S GUARD:
St. Michael’s Guard is a diocese-wide brotherhood of men serving at the altar of the Lord during holy Mass and other liturgies. We are looking to form a contingent of St. Michael’s Guard here at Holy Spirit, to serve and assist with events in our parish like Sunday Masses, Confirmations, Forty Hours, Christmas services, Easter Liturgies, etc. While the guard will be based in our parish serving our priest and parishioners, they will also be invited to serve for the Bishop at larger Diocesan events such as Solemn Vespers and the Red Mass at the Cathedral in Harrisburg. Members of the guard will serve the Masses on the weekend of June 14/15 here at Holy Spirit and will have recruitment information after all the Masses. St. Michael’s Guard is inviting courageous men, 18 years and older, to join us and stand guard at the Holy Altar. No prior altar serving experience is necessary. The guard will provide all training needed at liturgies. For more information, please contact Joe Pastuszek at joe.pastuszek@stmichaelsguard.com, or call him at 570-556-7302. You can also contact Ray Maillet at raymaillet@comcast.net, or call him at 717-507-2385. Please see our website for more information www.stmichaelsguard.com.
