What's up at Church of the Holy Spirit? Hear the latest at Parish Town Hall

By  Mark T. Hoske 

Church of the Holy Spirit (CHS) lets parishioners know what's going on through the parish calendar (see excerpts, page 8), various ministry gatherings, the Sunday bulletin, Spirited Times, and in an interactive way, through Parish Town Halls. 

These meetings occur five times each year and include staff, ministry leaders, and any interested parishioner.  All areas of parish life are discussed: social, liturgical, sacramental, formational, and financial.  The meetings alternate between Saturday mornings and afternoons so that people with conflicting work or family schedules can attend. 

"So that all voices are heard, we encourage all parishioners to attend and to take part," said members of Parish Town Hall Steering Committee (Ron and Cindy Coklan, Tom Evon, Tricia Mendoza, Sue Truesdell, Ding Victoria).

"To keep as many people involved in the activities of CHS we send agenda requests and the final agenda for each meeting via email to any parishioner who has attended a previous meeting or who has been or is involved in CHS ministries.  However, the meetings are open to everyone, and you can call the Parish Office if you want to be added to the email distribution list.  We welcome your input in this process of keeping CHS a vibrant and welcome place for all.  We encourage you to attend and to invite others to join us."
