We, the parish community of Saint Joseph Catholic Church (Elk Grove) and Mission Church of Saint Vincent de Paul (Rancho Murieta), enriched by many traditions and cultures, come together to worship God in Sacrament, liturgy, and prayer.

We are committed to acting as One Body in Christ, and to living our One Faith with the help of the Holy Spirit. We continually seek to reach out in loving service to others, both within our parish as well as in the greater community, in order to

spread the Good News of our faith.” (Parish Mission Statement)

Congratulations to the newly Confirmed youth of St. Joseph Parish!

“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let

you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.”

SEND OUT YOUR SPIRIT Last week we heard that, following the

Ascension, the disciples, Mary, and other followers of the Lord retreated to the upper room in prayer. This week we hear that, while praying in that room, the Holy Spirit comes upon them. Jesus’ post-Resurrection promise, recounted in today’s Gospel, is fulfilled: the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus’ followers. Saint Paul tells us that all of us, in some way, are given gifts of the Holy Spirit, gifts that can be used to spread the Good News. Today is one of the Church’s greatest festivals. Let us carry the refrain of the responsorial psalm with us throughout the coming week: “Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth!” (Psalm 104:30).

ENVÍA TU ESPÍRITU La semana pasada oímos que después de la

Ascensión, los discípulos, María y otros seguidores del Señor se retiraron al piso alto donde perseveraron unánimes en la oración. Esta semana escuchamos que, mientras estaban en oración allí, el Espíritu Santo vino sobre ellos. La promesa de Jesús, luego de su Resurrección que el Evangelio de hoy relata, se cumple: el poder del Espíritu Santo viene sobre los seguidores de Jesús. San Pablo nos dice que a todos nosotros, de alguna manera, se nos dan los dones del Espíritu Santo, dones que se pueden usar para anunciar la Buena Nueva. Hoy es una de las más grandes fiestas de la Iglesia. Llevemos con nosotros el estribillo del salmo responsorial: "¡Envía tu Espíritu, Señor, y repuebla la faz de la tierra!" (Salmo 104:30).
