What's Heating Up at Holy Spirit
January 11-15
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” - Philippians 4:6
January 11 - The Baptism of the Lord
Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist.
Today is the last day of the Christmas season in the liturgical calendar and we return to the season of Ordinary Time and continue our work of discipleship. At this time we reflect on the importance of Jesus' baptism and for the wonderful ministry he did in the world. When memories and feelings will we carry forward with us from Christmas to strengthen our life as Christians.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.
And kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And you will renew the face of the earth.
Lord,
by the light of the Holy Spirit
you have taught the hearts of your faithful.
In the same Spirit
help us to relish what is right
and always rejoice in your consolation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

2020-2021 Yearbook orders
Have you ordered your yearbook for this year?
In order for us to be able to maintain the price and be able to provide yearbooks we need to have a minimum order of 120 books. We are far from that goal.
Yearbooks are a special keepsake of your child's year of learning at Holy Spirit Catholic School. They are filled with the memories of friends, activities and events that are part of your child's life. Time goes quickly and memories fade but a yearbook will bring a smile, a laugh and help us to reminisce in years to come. Don't miss out on the chance to get a little piece of history at Holy Spirit School.
To order, go to the PowerSchool parent portal where fees are paid and select the option to add the yearbook to your cart. Payment must be made before your order is complete and placed. Cost of the yearbook is $25.00.
