Holy Spirit Church offers an opportunity to help those in our city that need our help. Twice per month Holy Spirit offers an opportunity for people to make sandwiches that are distributed to those in need by John the 23rd, Loaves and Fishes, or Amigos de Guadalupe.

We are in need of financial support to purchase the lunch supplies. For more information on this ministry please visit our website or contact Carin Santikul via email carin.santikul@sbcglobal.net.
