With over 60 members attending the meetings or working from home, the shawls and lap blankets are created to comfort those in need. If you know someone who could benefit from this comforting gift, the blessed shawls and lap blankets are available in the Parish office.

50th Anniversary Update through April 2024
As you know, Holy Spirit Parish was established in April of 1973, so our "year of celebration" continues through April of 2024. Here are the planned activities that are coming soon:
- January, February, March and April... anniversary raffle with a $15,000 first prize!
- February 11 - Next Sunday we will celebrate the Chinese New Year with our Vietnamese-American congregation.
- March 10 - Bishop Dolan Mass, Brunch and Garden Dove Blessing.
- March 16 - Our Lecture Series presents 'The Life of St. Patrick.'
- April 20 - Gala Dinner/Dance with "silent raffle" gift baskets
- April - The Anniversary Photo Directory (of those who sat for photos last fall)
- April 21 - Closing Mass at 11 AM.
It has been a wonderful celebration so far, and the Anniversary Committee has been working tirelessly since the celebration began last April with 50 hours of Eucharistic Adoration; and then the historical poster boards were made and displayed; the Floriani Concert and Meet and Greet took place last June; the Anniversary T-shirt sales are going great; the Picnic in the Park was a success in October; and other activities were scattered here and there throughout the year.
And now, the celebration continues!
PRAYER FOR THE SPREAD OF PERPETUAL ADORATION
Heavenly Father, increase our faith in the Real Presence of Your Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
We are obliged to adore Him, to give Him thanks and to make reparation for sins.
We need your peace in our hearts and among nations. We need conversion from our sins and the mercy of Your forgiveness.
May we obtain this through prayer and our union with the Eucharistic Lord.
Please send down the Holy Spirit upon all peoples to give them the love, courage, strength and willingness to respond to the invitation to Eucharistic Adoration. We beseech You to spread Perpetual Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament in parishes around the world. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen
Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, help us to spread the glory of Your Son through Perpetual Adoration. Amen
