Message from Pastor:

Welcome to Holy Spirit Catholic Church world-web. Thanks to Joe Joseph our parishioner for his outstanding job in creating and maintaining our website. Our Community is blessed to have many committed and generous people who continue to serve the Lord and His people in our parish and surroundings. I am thankful to all of my parishioners for their support and generosity. May all you who visit this website find it enriching and inspiring. We also pray that the Holy Spirit guide and lead you all in your journey of life. May you find peace and fulfillment in your life.

I offer you the prayer of St. Charles Boromeo to pray with me...

Come, Holy Spirit,
replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation.
Replace the turbulence within us with a sacred calm.
Replace the anxiety within us with a quiet confidence.
Replace the fear within us with a strong faith.
Replace the bitterness within us with the sweetness of grace.
Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light.
Replace the coldness within us with a loving warmth.
Replace the night within us with Your light.
Replace the winter within us with Your spring.
Straighten our crookedness.
Fill our emptiness.
Dull the edge of our pride.
Sharpen the edge of our humility.
Light the fires of our love.
Quench the flames of our lust.
Let us see ourselves as You see us,
that we may see You as You have promised,
And be fortunate according to Your word,
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God. Amen.

"A wise silence is preferable to uncharitable truth" (St. Francis de Sales (SFS).

"A person without patience makes the loudest complaints" (SFS).

"Do not wish to be anything except who you are and be that perfectly" (SFS)

God bless you all !!!
