A two-evening parish mission in preparation for Pentecost Wednesday and Thursday June 1 and 2, 2022 7:00 PM St. Augustine Church Join us for this two-evening parish mission as we explore the least understood member of the Trinity: The Holy Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit? What does the Holy Spirit do for us in our lives? What role does the Holy Spirit play in the Church? Our evenings together will include prayer, music, and talks, and prepare us to celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost on June 5. Come either or both evenings, as you are able. Everyone is invited and welcome. This parish mission will also be livestreamed. |

2ND COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND
This weekend is the fifth weekend of the month. As we normally do, we will have our usual first collection to support the parish, and our “Fifth Sunday” second collection to support our St. Vincent De Paul Society. Additionally, a second collection was scheduled nationally by the Conference of Catholic Bishops for this weekend to support the Catholic Communications Campaign. If you have an envelope for the Catholic Communications campaign, we ask you to drop that envelope into the either collection, and we will separate it out. Otherwise, all other donations in the first or second collection will go to the parish or St. Vincent De Paul. Thank you. |

God of power and mercy, you destroy war and put down earthly pride. Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears, that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters. Keep in your mercy those men and women who have died in the cause of freedom and bring them safely into your kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord. |

PHISHING SCAM
Once again, along with many other parishes in the Oakland diocese and beyond, CCOP continues to be targeted by scammers impersonating Fr. Mark via BOTH email and text messages, asking for money, gift cards or simply a response. There were a number of reports today in particular. THESE EMAILS OR TEXTS ARE NOT FROM FR. MARK. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND. If you receive one of these emails, please mark it as spam or simply delete it. If you receive one of these texts, simply delete it. Response only encourages more attacks. You will only receive email from Fr. Mark from his catholicsofpleasanton.org email address. He will not text you directly. Please contact Michael Harmon, mharmon@catholicsofpleasanton.org if you have any questions. |

The Diocese of Oakland has created a site where you can give on-line to any parish in the Diocese, including the Catholic Community of Pleasanton. Giving Made Easy
Many of you have asked if we are still accepting donations via Giving Made Easy (GME). The answer is YES! We primarily offered Tithe.ly since it is quick and easy to use. However, if you are already setup using Giving Made Easy, that's great and we would ask you to continue to support your parish. You can also still signup for Giving Made Easy through our website.
