PREP (Parish Religious Education Program) opens September 11! Rosters with class assignments will be posted on the bulletin board as you enter the church from the Social Hall. If your child’s name does not appear, they are not expected. Registrations will not be accepted on opening day, as teachers need to prepare ahead for their students. Students preparing for First Holy Communion and Confirmation require TWO years of religious education, per the Diocese of Harrisburg. Typically, this is grades 1 and 2, 7 and 8.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS PRODUCE COLLECTION: The Knights of Columbus will be collecting fresh fruits and veggies on weekends through September 11 for the Caring Cupboard. Please drop off any garden surplus you have outside the narthex by the circle drive. 

CARING CUPBOARD: Please remember to return your filled canvas bag this weekend, August 20/21. Their wish list this month is tuna, Spam, instant  potatoes, pasta, and bag rice.

CHILDREN’S CHOIR: Starting September 13
Children’s choir is starting back up again! Children ages 5 and up are invited to join.

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP: Where do you find comfort when you are grieving the  loss of a loved one? Holy Spirit Parish is starting a second grief support group for individuals that are suffering due to loss of a spouse, an adult child, or a parent. It will start the first week of October and run for ten weeks. The group will not exceed ten people and will meet at Holy Spirit in the evenings. Time and day are to be determined. To register or for more information, email griefsupport@hspalmyra.com. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:4).

 HOLY SPIRIT MAGNETS are available for $5 for your refrigerator and car. Stop by our parish office during regular business hours and help support the Knights of Columbus and our church!
