July 22, 2025—A Farewell Message from Alicia McCallister 👇

Dear Holy Spirit Parish Family,

It is bittersweet for me to share that I will be stepping down from my role as Coordinator for Confirmation and Youth Ministry, with my last official day being August 5, 2025. I will be moving to Aliso Viejo next week and have accepted a new position at a nearby parish, Holy Trinity Catholic Church.

It is not easy to say goodbye to a parish I have come to care for so deeply. But after much prayer and reflection, I feel a deep sense of peace and joy in taking this next step. While I am truly sad to leave, I also feel confident that God is calling me into this new chapter.

Serving at Holy Spirit has been an incredible blessing. I am so grateful for the ways you have supported, encouraged, and journeyed with me. Whether it was through Mass, ministry events, or moments of shared faith and service, your kindness and generosity have meant so much to me.

Please keep me in your prayers as I navigate this transition, and know that I will be holding all of you in prayer as well. I leave with a heart full of gratitude and appreciation for this wonderful community.

With love and gratitude,

Alicia McCallister

Confirmation & Youth Ministry Coordinator
