Pope Francis proclaims
​“Year of St Joseph”
With the Apostolic Letter “Patris corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis recalls the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father has proclaimed a “Year of Saint Joseph”.
​Our Mission at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, is to be a Spirit-filled community of love, challenging people to proclaim the good news of Christ’s salvation to the world. We seek to foster and promote a life pleasing to God through prayer and Sacramental ministry. We are called to nurture spiritual growth, build our lives on Gospel values and to reach out to the poor and hurting.

In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.

Monthly Intention of the Holy Father, Pope Francis
The Pope's Monthly Intention for April: Fundamental Rights
We pray for those who risk their lives while fighting for fundamental rights under dictatorships, authoritarian regimes and even in democracies in crisis.
Fundamental Rights – The Pope Video 4 – April 2021
Fundamental Rights
​In many parts of the world, defending fundamental human rights can imply risk. This is true not only under dictatorial regimes, but also in some democracies undergoing a crisis. As Francis says, it requires courage to “actively” combat “poverty, inequality, the lack of work, land and housing, and the denial of social and labor rights.”
​This month, the Pope invites us to support those who willingly accept the consequences of defending fundamental rights in places where it isn’t easy, so that “they may see their sacrifice and their work bear abundant fruit.” Let us not leave them on their own. Pray, and share these words of the Pope so that those valiant people may feel accompanied in their work.
