Two Special Ways to Celebrate Advent at Holy Spirit

Make time this Advent to slow down, connect with others, and prepare your heart for the coming of Christ!

Advent by Candlelight | Thursday, December 10 at 7 PM

Ladies, join us for an evening of prayer, reflection, and the warm glow of candlelight. All women are welcome! Come as a Mary and enjoy the evening, or be a Martha and host up to 7 guests.

Advent by Bonfire | Saturday, December 12 at 6 PM

Men, gather with us on our new patio for an evening of fellowship, faith, and fun around the fire! Guests are welcome. Bring a dish to share; the parish will provide brats and hot dogs.

Whether by candlelight or around the bonfire, let’s make room for faith, fellowship, and the joy of the Advent season!

We hope to see you there!

Mass of Healing, Recovery, and Renewal

Wednesday, November 25, at 7PM- Come together in prayer, find strength in Christ, and experience the hope and healing that God offers to each of us.

This Mass is for those affected by addiction—those suffering, those in recovery, and those who love and support them.

Let us pray together for healing, strength, and renewed hope.

Giving Tuesday – December 1,2026

This Giving Tuesday, help support three important projects at Holy Spirit!

Secondary Processional Cross
A lighter cross will allow more parishioners, including students, to participate in Eucharistic processions.

School Bathroom Upgrades
New hardware will keep our school bathrooms safe,
functional, and reliable.

Backup Generator
A generator will keep sump pumps running during power outages, protecting our parish and school from flooding.

Worship & Praise Night

The Holy Spirit Young Adult Group is hosting a song-filled evening of worship and praise on Thursday, October 29, at 7 PM. All are welcome to join us on the patio for an evening of music, prayer, and praise!

Auction for Education

Wednesday, September 16th is the LAST day to purchase tickets for our Roaring 20s Auction for Education. Join us for a night of glitz, jazz, and giving back to our community. Tickets available in the school office or online HERE. $75 per person includes appetizers, drinks, dinner from The Grilling Company.

Catechetical Sunday

This weekend, September 19th & 20th, we celebrate Catechetical Sunday, a special opportunity to give thanks for all those who share the Catholic faith and help others grow closer to Christ. From our catechists and teachers to parents, volunteers, and parish leaders, so many people play an important role in passing on the faith.

Please join us in praying for and thanking our catechists and all who dedicate their time and talents to helping others know, love, and follow Jesus. We are grateful for the many ways they live out their call to make disciples and help our parish continue to Grow Disciples!

Millions of Monicas

Millions of Monicas is now meeting weekly from 1:30–2:30 PM in the Chapel.

Many of us have children who are struggling to embrace their Catholic faith or who have left the Church entirely. Like St. Monica, we persevere in prayer, trusting God and asking for the joyful return of our children to full unity with the Catholic Church.

We are not a support group or a self-help group, and no sensitive information is shared. Instead, we come together each week to unite our hearts and voices in prayer, encounter God, and find strength and joy in one another.

Mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, godmothers, aunts, and all women who carry a child in their heart are welcome. Join us as we pray for our own growth in holiness and humility and for our children’s faithful return to the Catholic Church.

Religious Ed Registration is OPEN!
