Mission StatementOur 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.
Prayer For Priests & Deacons
Eternal Father, We lift up to you these and all the priests, deacons of the world. Sanctify them. Heal them; guide them. Mold them into the likeness and holiness of your son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May their lives be pleasing to you. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. |
SCAM ALERT!
No one from the parish office will ever contact you by email, text, or any type of message to ask to personally be given money, transfers, gift cards, etc. Some parishioners have received emails and texts asking for help from Fr. Pat. This is a scam! Please, be cautious!

In the words of Francis, “Being a catechist means that you ‘are a catechist,’ not that you ‘work as a catechist.’ It’s an entire way of being, and we need good catechists who are both companions and teachers.” In many places around the world, “evangelization is fundamentally in the hands of a catechist.” Truly, it is an important mission. This video is for you and for the catechists you know. “Catechists have an invaluable mission for the transmission and growth of the faith." |
