For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.

We are in critical need of volunteers to help with ministering to the congregation at mass, especially as we approach the Easter season. Please visit the Liturgy Recruiting table in the narthex TODAY to get more information and sign up as a Lector, Usher, or Extra-ordinary minister of Holy Communion.

Join us Friday, March 15th

The Installation Ceremony of

Fr. John B. Clote as Pastor of Holy Spirit Catholic Church will take place at the 8am morning mass on this Friday, March 15th and will be followed by a special reception with light refreshments.

Pray the Stations of the Cross with us in the Garden Fridays, March 15th and 22nd at 6:00pm.

Visit the Holy Spirit "Spirit Wall"

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!"

Next Sunday, March 17, 2024 is the parish Capital Improvement Fund Collection (CIF). Envelopes are available in the pews. No gift is too small.

NEXT SATURDAY, MARCH 16th at 9:00AM

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!

THANK YOU to our fantastic Knights of Columbus and all who attend to enjoy and support this Lenten event.

The Knights do so much! We are so grateful for their service. They will be serving their monthly Pancake Breakfast next Sunday morning, St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, in the Social Hall.

Thanks to Cub Scout Pack 71 for their incredible food drive last month.

The Pack collected and donated over 700 food items to Helping Hands. Their donations came at a time that the Pantry was in great need of food for our customers. Thank You! Thank You! I would also like to recognize and thank Kathy Polowski who organized the food drive and had it delivered to Holy Spirit Helping Hands Pantry. On Behalf of all the Holy Spirit Helping Hands Ministry, Thank You again for all that you did!

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!
