As the Halloween approaches, we are looking to bring smiles to the faces of families-in-need by collecting small to medium sized pumpkins for decorating and new or like-new children’s costumes for both boys and girls the weekend of October 12-13, 2024. Bins will be in front of the doors at church for you to leave your donation.
Thank you all for making our 2024 ADA a success! As I mentioned in the past, the ADA is very important to us because the rebate will help us fund and enhance the different ministries of our parish. We hope to receive $25,800 in rebate. However, we can only receive this rebate if everyone has fulfilled their pledge. I continue to count on your generous response.
God bless,
Fr. Ritche
October 19, 2024 from 9AM - 12PM. Click here to RSVP Today!
Join us on Saturday, October 19, 2024 - 9:00am-12:00pm in the church for our Liturgical Ministers' Gathering. This is a time to pray, listen, and reflect. Leslie Legacion, a music minister and a teacher in our diocese will speak to us about our call to ministry. Additionally, Fr. Robert and I will share our thoughts about the meaning of Radical Hospitality within the context of the Eucharist.

by Holy Spirit Parish - Fr. Ritche's Pastor's Notes
Last Tuesday, we heard the beautiful passage from St. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians about the Church. St. Paul is clear when he talks about the Church. He is not referring to the building, but rather the people. He uses the image of the human body to describe the Church: “As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.” What is more interesting is when Paul speaks about the image of the body, he also invites us to reflect on our ministry. He reminds us that we all have a role to fulfill, we are “individual parts of the Church.”
