Holy Spirit Catholic Church
"A Warm and Welcoming Religious Experience"
Today's date is:



If you are Catholic and haven’t been to church lately, or if you are looking
for a new parish, please come and experience a loving and welcoming
community of spirit-filled believers.
Holy Spirit is a Catholic Church with many unique traditions. The
Eucharist is offered to you by name, the collection basket is not
passed, and a parish-wide meal is shared once a month.
We have ample opportunities for you to become involved in
outreach ministries.
Even if
you’re not Catholic, do not hesitate to come and seek a greater
understanding of our community. We
have been touched by so many friends and grace-filled people who have
come into our lives and enriched us with their presence.
We are a community that sincerely believes we have been called
and sent to serve all God’s people—hopefully that includes you.
We are located on the Westbank at the end of General DeGaulle and across
from Holy Cross College. Coming
from the Mississippi River Bridge take General DeGaulle East to Woodland
Drive, turn left and follow the signs to Holy Spirit Church.

The People
Program
Continuing Adult Education
The People Program is one of the ministries of the sisters of St. Joseph, and in collaboration
with Holy Spirit Catholic Church space is provided for their West Bank
Campus. The People Program brings together senior adults who share in community their experiences,
talents, wisdom, and knowledge with each other. The volunteer teachers take leadership in facilitating this sharing
by offering classes that are holistic in scope: spiritual, aesthetic, intellectual, and physical.
Studies have shown that those who have retired,
are widowed, have excess time on their hands live healthier and more
productive lives if they stay engaged in the community. The goal of the People Program is to provide a life-
long learning environment where people can come and share learning with
other like-minded individuals. Currently
the West Bank campus offers 28 courses (see link below for list of courses
and times) in foreign languages, physical fitness, financial planning,
computer classes, different types of dancing, flower arranging, ceramics,
etc. New courses are added as
members volunteer to teach new subjects. There are never any tests. Learning is at your own pace, and you
may take as many courses as you can schedule within the time allotted
for a flat fee of $150 for fifteen weeks of classes.
Classes are conducted on Wednesdays and Thursdays of each week.

Assistive Listening Systems Personal Receivers are available
for the hearing impaired while attending mass at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. The Personal Receiver is a lightweight portable
FM broadcast receiver. Weighing less than 3.5 ounces, this pocket-sized
receiver can be worn inconspicuously and allows the user to move freely.
The personal receiver includes comfortable earbuds that provide the
audio quality of speakers many times their size. See one of the hosts
or greeters in the vestibule of the church if you would like to use
one during mass.
