From the shining cloud the Father's voice is heard:
This is my beloved Son, listen to him.
Our Holy Spirit "Spirit Wall" is finally coming to life!
If you have donated a "flame," you can now see it on the south wall of Hanley Hall.
Become one of the many parishioners that support Holy Spirit’s ministries by purchasing a Flame.
You can make a donation for a flame (with wording) at the parish office.
There are three sizes: Small $75.00, Medium $150.00, and Large $300.00. "Show your spirit today!"

Did you know that the original color associated with St. Patrick wasn’t green?
Join us as we explore the identity of Saint Patrick, his mission to the Irish, and the development of his feast day over the centuries. We will look at many of the legends and folklore that surround his life and ministry. The major themes of his two extant works and his famous prayer of protection “The Breastplate” will be discussed.
Saint Patrick was forged in the crucible of suffering and trial, yet he emerges as an icon of Christ the Good Shepherd through his faith and perseverance. Many Irish and Irish American customs surround the Feast of St. Patrick, which in recent years has undergone a process of secularization and global commercialization. The Blessings of Patrick’s Feast Be Upon You!
.
Eternal rest
grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light
shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.

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:
March & April - anniversary raffle ticket sales, get yours today!
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 and the Picnic in the Park were a success in October; and other activities were scattered here and there throughout the year.
And now, the celebration continues!
