Life/Groups
 Senior Ambassadors
At Holy Spirit are parishioners
55 years of age and older who gather several times a year for
socializing, reflecting on their faith and spirituality, and
getting to know other seniors. The number of older adults in
the parish continues to grow, and this group seeks to reach
out to all in this phase of life who come to Holy Spirit. The
seniors are the grandparents of the parish and are welcomed
by the many young families.

 Women's Ministries
Our mission as women of Holy Spirit is to minister to other women, our faith family and our community by our service, our presence and our prayer. We achieve this by offering social activities and spiritual retreats throughout the year. The Women’s Ministry also sponsors events that benefit the community. Join us for one or all activities planned for this year!
A large portion of women at Holy Spirit are also mothers and we offer two different experiences for this genre. Ministry of Mothers Sharing is an 8-week journey of personal and spiritual development where mothers come together to share experiences, joys and struggles of motherhood. This group has no age range and benefits new mothers as well as experienced moms and grandmothers. Moms Need Moms is a monthly gathering which meets the unique needs of all ages of motherhood through prayer, group discussion, encouragement and networking.
