Mission Development

Discerning where God is leading Holy Spirit Catholic Church.

FOLLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT

Where is God Leading Us?

Over the past year, we have been asking an important question together:

Where is God leading Holy Spirit Parish next?

Our Mission Development Path is a process of prayer, listening, discernment, and planning as we seek to understand the mission God has for our parish and how we can respond.

Our parish vision is: One community of disciples, filled, led, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to be loved, transformed, and sent.

Listening, Discerning, and Moving Forward

Earlier this year, we invited the parish to share hopes, ideas, and feedback about the future of Holy Spirit. That conversation became the starting point for the next stage of our work.

Since then, parishioners and ministry leaders have been working through that feedback in four Strategic Growth Areas:

Sacred Worship
Discipleship Formation
Mission Stewardship
Finance & Organization

The working groups have spent the past several months considering the feedback we received and discerning practical ways we can begin moving forward.

At our second Town Hall, each group shared the current initiatives they are proposing for this first year.

These initiatives are not a finished plan or something set in stone. They are a starting point—our best sense right now of where we can focus our time and energy as we continue to grow and discern God's direction for our parish.

What Are We Working Toward?

Ultimately, this process is about much more than programs, buildings, or parish organization.

We want to become a community where people encounter Jesus Christ, grow as His disciples, and are equipped to live and share their faith.

We want to be a parish that is loved, transformed, and sent—and that lives those words not just as a vision statement, but in the everyday life of our parish.

We've created a handout that provides more detail about the four Strategic Growth Areas and the initiatives currently being considered for the year ahead.

WHAT IS ADORATION?

A Time to Be Still

Eucharistic Adoration is simply time spent in the presence of Jesus — present to us Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament.

In our busy world, it can be rare to simply stop, be quiet, and allow ourselves to be loved. Adoration is that opportunity. There is no agenda, no performance — only presence. You sit before the Lord as you are, and He meets you there.

Catholics believe that Jesus is truly and fully present in the Eucharist — the same Jesus who healed the sick, embraced the outcast, and rose from the dead. Adoration is a time to encounter that same Jesus, in silence and love.

"It is well to keep close to the source of grace... The Eucharist is the secret of my day. It gives strength and meaning to all my other activities."

— Pope St. John Paul II
