Greetings!
For over 25 years, our Holy Spirit community has been a ray of hope to the many clients at Sacred Heart Community Services. As the holidays quickly come upon us we again are asked to help those in need.
This coming month, we have the opportunity to provide a turkey, chicken or ham dinner to brighten the season for families in need. As we gather around our table to give thanks we are ensuring that they also have something to give thanks for. Read more...
Read on for more information on the upcoming Fall Social event, second collection for Layette Ministry, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming activities within our parish and around the Diocese.
God Bless,
Fr. Ritche

October 30-31st Second Collection
Layette Ministry
Our Layette Ministry sew, knit, or crochet blankets and clothes for infants. These items are given to the Public Health nurse for single mothers, low income families and in some cases victims of domestic violence that have no other means of clothing or coverings for their newborns. It lets them know someone cares about them and their babies. Your support is much appreciated! You can donate here.

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is both “a liturgical and a communal celebration.” In the family home, hospital, or church, members of the Body of Christ gather for the sacramental rite led by a priest... Many parishes have communal celebrations at which many persons receive the sacrament and we are one of them. Read more...
