Education And Ministry
Holy Spirit offers a variety of Faith Formation and Youth Ministry Programs for our Pre-K children through adults of all ages to enrich their faith, grow closer to God and deepen their spiritual lives. Through growing deeper in our knowledge of our rich Catholic Faith, we can build our relationship with the Lord and spread the Good News through our words and our actions.
In order for our programs to be a success, we need adult volunteers who are willing to share their time on a weekly, monthly, or on a special project basis. Please prayerfully consider volunteering your time to help the youth in our parish grow in their relationship with our Lord.

Mission Statement
The Education and Formation Commission is essential to help parishioners of all ages grow in their relationship with the Lord through deepening their understanding and familiarity of Sacred Scriptures, teachings of the Church, sacramental preparation, Precepts of the Church, and spirituality. Through learning to live our life as intentional disciples and strengthening our virtues to help withstand religious indifference and secularism facing us today, we empower families, especially parents who are the first educators of their children’s faith.
A strong Education and Formation Commission is necessary to meet all our primary goals. Education is a key for understanding and defending the dignity of the human person, being aware of conflicts around the world and working towards resolutions and understanding and respecting other cultural or ethnic differences to enrich the life of the parish and its liturgies.
