PENTECOST SUNDAY
June 8, 2025

"Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak in different tongues,
as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim..."
(Acts 2: 3-4)
The Mission of the Holy Spirit in the Church
For Catholics, Pentecost Sunday is a major feast day commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and their followers, marking the beginning of the Church's public mission. It celebrates the Holy Spirit empowering the Church to boldly share the message of Jesus, and is often considered the "birthday of the Church".
Pentecost concludes the Easter season and thus it is a time for reflection on the Holy Spirit's role in believers' lives today.
Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church summarizes the Mission of the Holy Spirit in the Church this way:
"When the Son completed the work with which the Father had entrusted him on earth, the Holy Spirit was sent on the day of Pentecost to sanctify the Church unceasingly, and thus enable believers to have access to the Father through Christ in the one Spirit. He is the Spirit of life, the fountain of water welling up to give eternal life. Through him the Father gives life to men, dead because of sin, until he raises up their mortal bodies in Christ..." (LG nn. 4, 12)
Thus, Pentecost is seen as the day the Church, as a visible institution, was established. The Holy Spirit empowered the apostles to share the Good News, leading to the baptism of many. It symbolizes the ongoing presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the Church, enabling it to carry out its mission.
On Pentecost, we ought to give THANKS for the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the grace received through faith in Jesus Christ. On a personal level, we are encouraged to reflect on the role of the Holy Spirit in our own lives, seeking to be filled with his gifts and led by his guidance all the days of our life.

A Successful GANAP Concert
Last Friday, May 23, 2025 at 7PM
Congratulations to GANAP Performing Arts for their successful Banyuhay concert on May 23 and for giving St. Augustine parishioners an extraordinary experience packed with musical harmonies, Filipino culture, and original Pilipino Music (OPM), spice of American broadway musical, and high energy entertainment!
Parishioners also came to support GANAP because proceeds of the concert will benefit the pediatric cancer patients at Bahay Aruga, their halfway house in Manila. The children stricken with cancer come from all over the Philippines and are given free shelter, food, and medicine while receiving their free and complete treatment at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).
Thank you to the Knights of Columbus, who sponsored the event, those who attended the concert, and donated to such a meaningful cause.

KEEPING OUR PARISH CLEAN: A Call to Action from our Ecology Committee (EC)
Keeping Our Parish Clean:
A Call to Action from our EC
**After receiving reports on rodent sighting in the Parish Hall**
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.
Be on the lookout for the Ecology Committee's (EC) waste management tutorials, coming soon!
Stop by their table to sign up for more information during this weekend's ministry fair.
Thank you for your cooperation!

SANTACRUZAN 2025
A HUGE SUCESS!!!
Last Saturday, May 31, 2025
The much-anticipated Santacruzan, the culmination of the May Flower Devotion (Flores de Mayo) to our Blessed Mother, was celebrated with the Holy Mass on May 31. The mass was immediately followed by a procession around the church with our 15 beautiful Sagalas or Reynas (Queens) dressed in Filipiniana and long gowns depicting the titles of the Blessed Virgin Mary or biblical characters. The Filipino tradition of the Santacruzan Pageant honors the finding of the True Cross by Helena of Constantinople (Reyna Elena). The procession continued inside the church with commentary on the history of Santacruzan and the introduction of each Reyna and the meaning of their biblical characters.
The four sagalas who contributed the most to the fundraising were crowned by Reyna Elena of prior years and South San Francisco Councilmember Flor Nicolas. Councilmember Nicolas also presented them Certificates of Recognition for their faithful stewardship and their crowning.
To date, the Sagalas have put together a total gross of $153,61.29. We are extremely grateful for all our Sagalas, Santacruzan Committee, headed by Cleo Cruz and her incredible team of parishioners, and all who supported our Santacruzan fundraising. Final financial results will be provided once all the expenses are accounted for.
Congratulations and Thank You:
- Vicky Palomar – Reyna Elena
- Aleczia Trinidad – Reyna de la Caridad
- Pauline Uy – Reyna Esperanza
- Christmas Tiletile – Reyna de la Fe
- Marijoy Angeles – Reyna de los Angeles
- Carina Santos – Reyna de las Flores
- Mariah Tolentino – Reyna del Cielo
- Cherry Pie de Veyra – Reyna de las Estrellas

Join ALPHA SESSIONS
Every Tuesday, 6:30pm thru July 15, 2025
At our sixth Alpha Session at St. Augustine Church, we explored a powerful topic: “What is the Bible, and why is it important for us to read it?" Although the Bible is the best-selling book in the world, statistics show that many Catholics rarely read it or participate in Bible studies. Yet, as we discovered in this session, the Bible is God’s living word, speaking directly to our hearts today.
We began with a moving video filled with testimonies of people who have encountered God personally through Scripture. The Bible’s authors were fully inspired by God, making its message timeless and divine.
During our small group discussions, many of us shared personal stories that, in hindsight, were deeply rooted in biblical truth—even if we hadn’t realized it before. It was a reminder that God’s word is active in our lives, often in ways we don't immediately see.
Don’t miss our next Alpha session, where we’ll dive into another inspiring and meaningful topic. As always, we’ll start with a light supper at 6:30 PM. We look forward to seeing you there!

Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, 69 years old, the prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, was elected the 267th pope on May 8, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. He is the first Augustinian to be named the Supreme Pontiff. Born in Chicago, He is the first American pope in history.
We give thanks for his ministry, leadership, and faithful service to the Church. Welcome, Pope Leo XIV! "Together we must try to be a missionary church, a church that builds bridges and always dialogues, that is always open to receiving everyone like this square with its arms open to everyone, everyone in need."
Prayer for Pope Leo XIV
Ever-loving God,
We thank You for guiding the Church and for the gift of our new Holy Father.
With humility and trust, we lift him up to You in prayer.
Fill his heart with the fire of the Holy Spirit,
That he may lead Your people with truth, love, and mercy.
Strengthen him in times of trial,
And surround him with faithful servants and wise counsel.
May he be a shepherd after Your own heart—
Guiding Your Church in unity,
Upholding the dignity of every person,
And bearing joyful witness to the Gospel in a world in need.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
