Holy Spirit Parish Weekly Newsletter

He is risen! Alleluia!

Popes trying to make peace between emperors. Friars preaching God's love, justice & mercy drawing Billy Graham style crowds, and priests continuing to serve the faithful in spite of murderous threats from the state, we are having a blast this week. 

We also have some reminders of events coming up, make sure to mark your calendar. 

Here is your weekly update on what's going on in the parish.

Mother's Day - Father's Day 2022

We are supporting Cornerstone Pregnancy Services in Elyria in their "Change" for Life Baby Bottle campaign. 

You can help local mothers, children, fathers and families in unplanned pregnancies by:

1) Taking a bottle from the Narthex

2) Fill it with change, cash or checks over the next several weeks.

3) Return the Bottle on Father's Day Weekend (June 18th & 19th) to the Narthex

Your generosity helps local mothers and fathers in hard situations choose life.



Thank you!
