Holy Spirit Parish Weekly Newsletter

This is the Parish Year of the Eucharistic Revival - check the parish website for more updates!

We start the week with the 22nd Anniversary of Sept. 11, a day or prayer and remembrance for our Nation. Mother Mary under the Title of the Immaculate Conception is the patronnes of our country, so we can ask her intercession for the USA in a special way this day.

Liturgically as well we have a lineup of Saints and Feasts (Including two Marian ones) tinged with the sorrow, but ultimately the Triumph that comes through suffering and the Cross including:

• Our Lady of Sorrows
• Exaltation of the Holy Cross
• Mary's Name

As always, check out our Events Page below that is updated weekly so you can know what is coming up.

Please note that Bishop Woost will be coming to speak in a few weeks to discuss guidelines for the renovations of Churches.

Let us know if you think you'll be there on Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 7:00 PM.

Here's this week's update with what's going on with the Parish.

John Chrysostom’s preaching, by word and example, exemplifies the role of the prophet to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable. For his honesty and courage, he paid the price of a turbulent ministry as bishop, personal vilification, and exile.

To the eyes of the first Christians, it had no beauty. It stood outside too many city walls, decorated only with decaying corpses, as a threat to anyone who defied Rome’s authority—including Christians who refused sacrifice to Roman gods.
