Holy Spirit Parish Weekly Newsletter

Green is coming back. Ordinary means "Numbered" not "Regular". And there is nothing "ordinary" about the Feast of the Visitation or the Anniversary of the Dedication of our Church this week!

We have other amazing Saints this week including:

The Girl Who God Called to Lead an Army
The First Christian Philosopher
A Courtier who was martyred for protecting the chastity of Youth
...and more!

The only "regular" quality across this diverse group of saints is that they joyfully were willing to suffer even death than betray Christ and His Church, may we have half that courage in the face of our lesser hardships!

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

Make sure to sign up your kids for our 2023 Vacation Bible School program, "Knights of North Castle" - it is going to be a blast! (See below) DEADLINE TO SIGN UP IS JUNE 2

Unyielding Faith

A few years ago the Church published a document (signed by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) that affirmed its teaching on homosexuality and offered some details concerning the pastoral care of people with homosexual tendencies. The date chosen for the announcement was June 3: the feast of the Ugandan Martyrs.

We Need to Party Better

Peasant Girl to Battlefield Commander

To appreciate the astonishing role Joan played in history, we must understand the world into which she was born. The Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) had been going on for three generations, fought over competing claims to the throne of France (and for the rights to the rich, wine-producing region of Acquitaine).

How the Eucharist Changed My Life

Why do less than 30% of Catholics believe in the Real Presence? It seems like many have forgotten that Jesus gave his flesh for the life of the world. Today, Fr. Mike reminds us of the gift of the Eucharist and shares the way it transformed his own life.
