Please join our Holy Spirit School students, faculty, staff and parents as we celebrate the liturgy each Friday morning. Mass is in the
Holy Family Chapel and begins at 8:30 a.m. Our students enjoy
seeing parishioners!
Our elementary grades (grade 1-3) are busy classrooms. Each
grade has smaller class sizes allowing for more interactions
between the teacher and the individual students. The first
grade class will lead their first school Mass on Oct. 10. They
are already busy preparing for that special day. Each class
will have the opportunity to present the Mass for their school
and all our guests. This is a terrific way for the students to
learn more about the Mass and our Catholic faith. If this
sounds like the place you would like your child to be, please
call Holy Spirit School and schedule a tour. Or better yet,
schedule a day for your child to spend some time with a class.
Just give us a call.

Family Promise: Thank you again for your response for the
cleaning supplies needed for the Monsignor Joseph Gluszek
Hospitality House. Some items we still need: protective
gloves, wall & floor cleaner, window cleaner, sink & tub
cleanser, toilet bowl cleaner, bathroom disinfectant, rags,
plastic buckets, scrub brushes, paper towels, garbage bags. If
you can supply even 1 thing it is a blessing. We do not have
and we will not have a budget so everything comes from us,
the community. Aubrey Readen and the youth group will
come to clean on Oct. 19th. What a blessing we have in this
young leadership. If you have any questions please call and
leave a message for Kathie @ 781.5033

Choir Practice: Music practice gears up again in September. Come in by way of the shrine door ~ follow the sidewalk to the right around the side of the church. All are welcome to join in the leading of music ~ all voices and most instruments are welcome! We specialize in developing young cantors
to lead the music at the psalm ~ come join us!
Gluten-free and LOW gluten hosts are available for those who
are not able to tolerate the baked bread or regular hosts we use
for our Eucharistic bread. Please contact the sacristan when you
arrive for Mass, and they will put aside a host for you.
Liturgical Tidbits: Community: Our participation in
the prayers, songs, and actions of the liturgy helps us to
form community with those around us. Singing together
causes a feeling of togetherness. This is one of the main
purposes of the entrance or gathering song—to form us
into community through our mutual participation. This
is why the presider should stand and sing a verse or two
with us once he gets to his chair. He also is part of the
assembly, the Body of Christ. Singing with the community helps to symbolize this and also to bring it into being. At Holy Spirit, we’ve begun singing all the verses
of the Gathering Song, so we can understand the full
meaning of the chosen text, and more thoroughly form
as the Body of Christ for our Eucharistic celebration.
The monthly Mass to pray for vocations to the priesthood and
religious life will be celebrated at St. Ann Cathedral on Wednesday, October 15th at 6:00 p.m. All are invited to come and pray.
