Outreach
“We draw our strength from the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, as we seek to promote peace and justice within ourselves, our parish, the communities where we live and work, our country, and the world.” – Excerpt from Holy Spirit’s mission statement
At Holy Spirit Parish, there are 15 social ministries which encompass the seven themes of Catholic Social Teaching . The various social ministries listed below provide parishioners opportunities
- to serve those in need and be a voice for the most vulnerable in our society.
- to effect change of any unjust aspects of our society which cause people to suffer.
- to provide opportunities for all parishioners to put their feet to their faith.
- to educate our parishioners about concerns of peace and justice through Catholic Social Teaching and the teachings of the pope and bishops.
