Greetings!

This week's article is written by HS School Principal, Sally Douthit.

Nicaragua Mission Trip 2023

It’s time to deliver all the generous Gifts of Opportunity you purchased this Christmas!

Holy Spirit is going back to Nicaragua and you don’t want to miss this amazing experience.

Last year, Mr. Dave brought his daughter Lilly. It was her first time and she was joining a group of strangers in a strange land. Read about their experience here.

We hope you will consider being a part of the team this summer. We have rescheduled our information meeting so you have plenty of time to consider joining. The information session will be held in the church on Sunday, February 5 at 1 pm. You can attend with no obligation, just come to learn more.

Get Involved with Merry!

HS staff member, Merry Reardon is asking for help from the church community to get involved in two separate committees.

Community Building Committee

Participants will assist Merry with the creative aspects of parish social events like the crab feed, parish picnic etc.

Kitchen Angels

Kitchen angels help with the receptions after funerals and support grieving families. Duties include set up, clean up and supporting the families with your presence.

For more information and to get involved, please contact Merry at: merry.reardon@dsj.org

Winter Warm-Up Drive

To keep those in need warm during this cold and raining weather, we are launching our Winter Warm Up Drive at the beginning of February. We will be collecting for For Home First (an interim housing agency) and we are accepting new or gently used XL and L beanies and gloves as well as coats, emergency blankets, hand warmers, rain coats (in all sizes but especially L), umbrellas, and rain ponchos.

Bins will be in front of church during the weekends of February 4th and 5th, as well as February 11th and 12th to drop off your donations. Your donations will be benefiting those who do not have warm clothes during these chilly winter nights. Donating this winter will give someone in our community hope, comfort, and a sense of love that everyone deserves. Thank you for your generosity and have a great 2023!

If you have any questions please email Andrew Carrasquillo at: andrewcarrasquillo@icloud.com

Sacred Heart Holiday Programs

“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”

-The Gospel of Matthew

Thank you to all who volunteered for Sacred Heart’s Thanksgiving and Christmas programs! Your support helped so many of our neighbors fully enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas season.

We had numerous volunteers at Thanksgiving, including our Holy Spirit staff, who gathered and volunteered their time on November 22nd.

In support of Sacred Heart’s programs, Holy Spirit volunteers contributed over 170 hours to pack and distribute food boxes providing our neighbors with ingredients for a full holiday dinner, and sorted/ distributed toys for children. Sacred Heart delivered 5496 food boxes, and 6022 toys to those in need.

Holy Spirit Sacred Heart Saturday's 2023

Set aside some time to volunteer on Saturday's Sacred Heart! Sacred Heart provides food, clothing and critical resources for our neighbors in need. Dates to be announced and a registration form will follow.
