< Back Called and Gifted Each of us has received specific spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit. This powerful, 5 week discernment process helps Christians recognize the charisms—spiritual gifts—they’ve been given. Since 1993, over 200,000 laypeople, clergy, and religious across the globe have embarked on the Called & Gifted™ Discernment Process to uncover how the Holy Spirit is uniquely at work in their lives. This powerful discernment process helps Christians recognize the charisms—spiritual gifts—they’ve been given not just for their own sake, but to represent Christ and be channels of God's goodness for others. Charisms are not reserved for a few; they are for every baptized Christian. As the Catechism reminds us, “All charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God” (CCC, 2003) The discernment process includes small group meetings with instruction and discussion, a spiritual gifts inventory and a personal interview. The initial meetings occur over 5 weeks. Groups at Holy Spirit for English speakers form in the fall and spring. The program is also available in Spanish with occasional groups forming. Watch the bulletin for announcements or contact Kate Johnson at katierjohnson@comcast.net . Upcoming Sessions: Thursdays: Sept 17, Oct 1, 8, 15 and 22, 1pm-3pm Saturdays: Oct 10, 17, 24 and 31 and Nov 14, 9:30am-11:30am Learn more about the Caherine of Sienna Institute and Called and Gifted here: https://siena.org/called-gifted .

Inspiring, preparing, and supporting couples in embracing the Sacrament of Matrimony as a lifelong vocation of love rooted in Christ and lived for the good of the family, the Church, and the world. Fall in Love – September 19, 2026 | 6:30pm Learn More The Cana Connection is a ministry of Holy Spirit Catholic Church dedicated to helping couples build strong, Christ-centered relationships. Serving both engaged and married couples, the ministry provides opportunities to grow in faith, strengthen communication, and deepen the bonds that sustain a lifelong commitment. Whether you are preparing for marriage or have shared many years together, every relationship benefits from intentional time spent nurturing love, faith, and connection. The Cana Connection encourages couples to see marriage not simply as a milestone, but as a vocation—a sacred calling through which God works in and through the lives of husband and wife. Throughout the year, the Cana Connection hosts special events and date nights designed to inspire, prepare, and support couples at every stage of their journey. These gatherings offer opportunities for meaningful conversation, practical insights, spiritual enrichment, and fellowship with other couples who share a desire to grow closer to one another and to Christ. Engaged couples will find encouragement and formation as they prepare for the Sacrament of Matrimony, while married couples can renew their commitment, strengthen their relationship, and continue growing together in faith. We invite you to join us as we celebrate the beauty of marriage and help couples build relationships that reflect God's love in the family, the Church, and the world.

< Back Altar Servers Assist at the altar and support the celebration of Mass through reverent liturgical service. The Altar Server ministry invites parishioners of all ages who have received First Communion to assist at the sacred celebration of the Mass. Servers play a vital role in supporting the liturgy by helping the priest and deacon so that the celebration of the Eucharist may be prayerful, orderly, and reverent. This ministry is open to both full-time and part-time residents of the Islands. Servers are needed for weekend Masses, Holy Days, funerals, and other special liturgies throughout the year. Training is provided for all new servers, and ongoing support is offered to help each minister grow in confidence and understanding of the liturgy. Serving at the altar is a unique opportunity to deepen one’s faith, develop a sense of reverence for the Eucharist, and actively participate in the life of the Church.

< Back Adopt-a-Family Serve island families in need by packing and delivering food during seasonal outreach events. The Adopt-a-Family ministry is one of Holy Spirit Catholic Church’s most known works of charity and community care. Rooted in the Gospel call to serve those in need, this outreach provides food assistance to families on Johns Island and Wadmalaw Island during both Christmas and the Fourth of July holiday seasons. Over 25 years ago, this ministry began with a simple mission: to share the generosity of our parish with families in need. Today, that mission continues on a much larger scale, with nearly 300 families receiving support through carefully prepared food packages that include five bags of shelf-stable groceries, a ham, and fresh produce. This is a parish-wide effort made possible through prayer, generosity, and service. In the weeks leading up to each distribution, parishioners are invited to support the program through financial donations, with a suggested contribution of $150 per family served—though every gift, large or small, makes a meaningful difference. Volunteers also play a vital role in the success of this ministry. On the first morning, volunteers help unload a delivery from Food Lion. The following evening, teams gather in the church to sort and pack food into family-sized bags. The next day, volunteers deliver these groceries directly to homes, ensuring that families are reached with dignity, care, and personal connection. Whether through time, donations, or both, every participant helps extend the love of Christ to those in need in a very tangible way.

Baptism " Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come." (2 Cor. 5:17) Few things are as beautiful as bringing our children (or coming ourselves) to the Church for Baptism. When we say we love our children, this is what God means. Baptizing our children deepens our faith and allows us to grow closer to the Lord. FOR FAMILIES Infant Baptism Congratulations on the birth of your child! Bringing your baby to Baptism is one of the most loving and faith-filled gifts we can give our children. At Holy Spirit, we celebrate Baptism with great joy. We ask that parents attend a Baptism preparation class before your child's Baptism. This is a time to reflect on your role as the primary faith teachers in your child's life — and to receive support and encouragement from our parish community. What to Expect Baptism gives more than forgiveness of sins. It infuses real gifts from God and makes you a real member in the church. During the baptism of your child, the parents, godparents, and family should expect to be deeply moved by God's love. You have now prepared your child for a lifelong journey of faith. Infant Baptism are celebrated at Mass on the second Sunday of the month. During the Rite of Baptism, your child will be anointed with sacred oils, holy water will be poured over their head three times as the priest prays the words of Baptism, and your child will receive a white garment and a baptismal candle — beautiful symbols of their new life in Christ. Godparents play a meaningful role in your child's life. At least one godparent is necessary and they must be a practicing Catholic who is 1) at least 16 years old, 2) has received the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Next Steps: Parents complete the Baptism Registration Form . You will be contacted within 48 hours Parents attend a Baptism preparation class Offered on the second Wednesday of the month Bring a copy of your child's birth certificate or hospital record of birth Godparents request eligibility form to be completed by their parish and sent to: Holy Spirit Catholic Church 3871 Betsy Kerrison Johns Island, SC 29455 Forms must include the parish seal Once everything is completed, the date for Baptism will be scheduled. BAPTISM REGISTRATION GODPARENT FORM BAPTISM REQUIREMENTS At least one parent or guardian who is Catholic Attendance at a Baptism preparation meeting At least one practicing Catholic godparent Completed parish registration (encouraged) GODPARENT REQUIREMENTS Age: At least 16 years old Sacraments of Initiation: Must have received Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. Faith Life: Must lead a life in harmony with the Catholic faith (i.e., practicing the faith, attending Mass). Marital Status: If married, must be validly married in the Catholic Church. Catholics cohabitating or civilly married are typically ineligible. Parentage: Cannot be the mother or father of the person being baptized. Canonical Standing: Cannot be bound by any canonical penalty CONTACT (843) 768-0357 office@holyspiritsc.org FOR ADULTS Adult Baptism Already Baptized in Another Christian Tradition? The Catholic Church recognizes as valid the Baptism of most Christian denominations — including Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Anglican/Episcopal, and many others — provided the Baptism was performed with water and in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If you were baptized in another Christian tradition and feel called to become fully Catholic, you do not need to be rebaptized. Instead, you will prepare to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and the Eucharist. Our OCIA process is the welcoming path for this journey. Not Yet Baptized? Unbaptized adults who wish to receive the Sacrament of Baptism are warmly invited to prepare through our OCIA process — the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. OCIA is not a class but an encounter with God: a journey through Scripture, the sacraments, and community, in which you are invited to discover the Catholic faith at your own pace. Adults who journey through OCIA are typically received into the Church at the Easter Vigil, or around November 1, receiving Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist in one beautiful celebration.

Stories of More “Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” (Mark 5:19) Do you have a story to share with the parish? Submit it here. Divine Intervention Faith and Family Life Famished for Truth God is Faithful Outreach to the Community Ride the Bus FILTER RESET FILTER God is Faithful Deborah I was raised in the Baptist tradition and am so grateful for the foundation it gave me. From an early age, I learned to love Scripture, trust in Jesus Christ as my Savior and understand the importance of a personal relationship with God. The Baptist church and my family helped to shape my faith and taught me many truths that I still cherish today. They were my foundation of my faith. I met my husband when I was 27 and the first thing that I admired about him was his strong faith. He has been raised Catholic and never missed going to Mass to strengthen his walk with God. I began going to Mass with him and becoming increasingly interested in the Catholic faith. We went through marriage counseling with a Priest and that gave me the opportunity to ask more questions concerning my Christian faith journey. We were married and were expecting our first child when I decided to become Catholic and raise our children in the Catholic faith. It was a decision that I spent many years studying and preparing for. Learning and believing in the Sacraments, Mary and the Saints was a big part of my decision to convert. I feel the Holy Spirits presence during the Mass and in the Eucharist. I have been encouraged by Monsignor Rowland and Father Stephen to use my God given gifts at church. I have been guided to help schools, needy families, and serve as the coordinator of the Ministry and Hospitality committee of our Parish. I take time to pray and listen to God for his guidance in how to help our Parish and community. Today, I continue to grow in my relationship with Jesus through prayer, Scripture, the Sacraments, and the life of the Church. My journey has taught me that God is faithful in leading those who sincerely seek Him, and I am grateful for where that journey has led me and the support that I have at Holy Spirit. Ride the Bus Wayne There are as many stories of religious conversion as there are individuals in the pews. Unlike Saint Paul on the road to Damascus, I was not struck blind by a bright light; my journey took a much longer route. I was raised in a God-fearing Protestant family as the son of a Methodist minister. Later, I was blessed to marry the love of my life, Theresa. She was raised Catholic by wonderful, devout parents, and as often happens in such marriages, I began attending Mass with her and her family. For the next 20 years, I "rode the bus" without knowing the destination. One day during Mass, I asked myself what I was doing there. I realized that while I understood and enjoyed the liturgy, I was envious of the peace and stability my in-laws possessed. I wanted to acquire the simple, "childlike" trust they had in the Holy Spirit. I knew I always felt better after attending Mass, and 20 years is a long time to remain a passenger on the bus. Ultimately, I chose to convert to Catholicism. Through the witness of those in my life, I came to understand that it is not enough to simply sit in a pew and be a good person. I learned that a relationship with God requires a true commitment. Just as in a friendship or a marriage, commitment requires the trust to put another’s values and needs foremost. I finally understood that putting Him first was not a sacrifice, but a newfound freedom. My advice to anyone currently "riding the bus" is to say yes when the Holy Spirit calls. If you rearrange your secular life to accommodate God’s direction, you will find it comes with no regrets—only great rewards. Good Luck on Your Journey Faith and Family Life Summer My faith journey began in the Episcopal Church, where I attended a private Episcopal school growing up. My husband, on the other hand, was raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools from Pre-K through high school here in Charleston, including Nativity School and Bishop England. The Catholic faith has deep roots in his family, including his great-uncle, Monsignor Rowland, whose life of service to the Church has been a meaningful part of our family's story. From the very beginning of our relationship, we knew that faith would be at the center of our marriage and family life. I began attending Mass with him while we were dating, and together we felt called to raise our future family in the Catholic faith. As the mother of four children, I have seen how important it is to help our children build a relationship with Christ and grow in their faith. Our children have attended Catholic school since Pre-K, and as they reached important milestones in their faith journey, I felt called to grow alongside them. In 2022, before my oldest daughter received her First Holy Communion, I completed the RCIA/OCIA program and officially entered the Catholic Church. It was important to me to fully understand and embrace the faith that was shaping our family so that I could better connect with my daughter and support her through this special milestone. In doing so, I also gained a deeper understanding of the faith that would help me guide all four of our children as they continue their own journeys with Christ. Faith has always been the foundation of our family, and that foundation ultimately led us to Holy Spirit Parish. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and embraced by a community that truly feels like family. In 2023, we renewed our wedding vows and were officially married in the Catholic faith here in the 'little chapel' by Monsignor Rowland. Holy Spirit has provided us with opportunities to deepen our faith, build meaningful relationships, and become more involved in parish life. Before becoming involved in Family Ministry, I served as President of Nativity School’s PTO for several years. One of the things I loved most about that role was bringing families together and creating opportunities for meaningful connections and friendships. Through that experience, I saw firsthand how important a strong community is for both parents and children. As rewarding as that was, I felt called to take it a step further—not just building friendships, but helping families build faith-centered relationships that encourage one another in their walk with Christ. That calling led me to Family Ministry, where I now have the privilege of serving alongside my dear friend Alison. This ministry is especially close to my heart because I know how valuable it is for families to have a strong faith community around them. My hope is to help families grow closer to Christ, strengthen their faith at home, and create lasting friendships with other Catholic families within our parish. Looking back, I can clearly see God's hand guiding our family every step of the way. I am grateful for the path that led us to Holy Spirit and for the opportunity to serve this wonderful parish community. My prayer is that every family who comes through our doors feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged as they grow in their faith and experience the love of Christ. Divine Intervention Patty I was raised in a devout Irish Catholic family as the youngest of seven. Attending church was a regular part of my upbringing, but after leaving for college, I gradually stopped participating as I began to find my own path. When I met my husband, Dan, who was Presbyterian, I chose to embrace his faith. We were married in the Presbyterian Church, marking the beginning of a new chapter in my spiritual journey. After moving to Johns Island in October 2024, we became friends with a couple who are deeply involved at Holy Spirt Church. I had often thought about returning to my Catholic roots, but, as so often happens, life got in the way. On January 5, 2026 I learned that I had a brain tumor, later diagnosed as glioblastoma. My tumor was removed the following day, and when I woke up in the recovery room, I knew I needed to return to my Catholic faith. I truly believe God intervened and gave me a second chance. For the first time in my life, I experienced what I can only describe as true faith. It filled me with hope, peace, and strength to face the greatest challenge of my life. Becoming part of Holy Spirit Church has been an incredible gift. Father Stephen and the entire parish family have surrounded me with compassion, encouragement, and prayers. The congregation even made me a beautiful prayer quilt, a constant reminder of God's love expressed though this community. I feel deeply blessed to be part of the Holy Spirit family. My new mantra is: "With You, God, all things are possible." Famished for Truth Chris I was raised in a “broken home.” I saw my father occasionally, but I lived with my mother most of the time. Life was not easy, as my mother, who had a disability, rarely worked and remarried several times, and it seemed that we were constantly moving and that I was regularly changing schools. I was raised in the family faith, the Episcopal Church, but following Christ was not much of a priority, and so we rarely attended. As I entered my teen years, I fell further away from my childhood faith. I began to chase girls, and I eventually fell in with a peer group that was up to no good. By this point, I was living with my father, as I was not getting along with my current step-father. My father took me out of the school in which I was enrolled, and I was accepted my senior year into Bishop England High School. I was somewhat of a class clown and was sent to the principal’s office regularly, to the extent that I was called the “buffoon” by one of the sisters who taught there. (Our daughters claim that I am the reason that there are now strict rules for non-uniform days since I tried to wear “Deputy Dawg” slippers on tag days.) The Catholic faith was new to me, and I had a LONG road still ahead, but I recall there being one sister who taught there who seemed to love all of us unconditionally. This struck me as odd that she loved me in spite of how much I misbehaved—Only much later would I begin to understand why. I continued my downward spiral in college. I rarely applied myself to studies since, at the time, I was more interested in partying. I began to doubt God’s existence as I sought a life of pleasure. By my junior year, I began to feel empty in spite of trying to fill my life with so many things of the world. I had a naturally logical mind, and it took C.S. Lewis’ “Trilemma” to convince me not only that God exists, but that he cared for me and loved me in spite of my sinfulness—I became famished for truth. The journey home to the Catholic faith was long as I was attending any and all churches. I began to hunger for something which I did not yet understand—the sacraments. I returned to my childhood Episcopal parish, but, after several years, I felt drawn either towards the Catholic or Orthodox faith. Meanwhile, I had committed the rest of my life to the pursuit of truth which, at the time, I thought precluded marriage—My then spiritual director thought otherwise. I met my wife, Beth, a practicing Catholic, when she managed a restaurant in Charleston where I would go and read books for hours. The waitstaff hated me, and I was very shy, but she gave me her phone number one evening, and we were engaged about six months later. I completed RCIA, and I was received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in 2005, a few months before our wedding—I have never looked back. The quest for truth continues, but I have come to realize that a large part of truth and understanding the Trinity is to be found within family life. We have had our share of bumps in the road, including numerous health scares, but faith has brought us through. I was ordained to the Permanent Diaconate in 2025 in the Diocese of Charleston. Outreach to the Community Nancy In the evening silence, I heard the call! Our new life in South Carolina was a promise being fulfilled. Our new parish was Holy Spirit Catholic Church. The family life center was just built and the building was to be used to serve our larger community. With the guidance of Monsignor Rowland and courage whispered by the Spirit, the parish food pantry evolved! Once word got out of our of services, the community came and all were welcomed. As we built trust and friendships with our neighbors, they invited us into their lives with stories and needs. It was then that the vision Monsignor had for the home repair foundation came to fruition. He formed a group to develop the path of reaching our neighbors in need. The connections made through our food pantry were crucial. They provided the trust needed to start caring for those in need and to keep them in their homes. This home repair foundation is the Paraclete Foundation, formed in 2018. In this journey to help others we needed to have private and intimate dialogue with those we were serving to determine our capabilities and restrictions. Each application required a phone call to start the story and the Holy Spirit directed each conversation for me. Each person in need has a life path they want to share and give witness to. During the application process, those we serve are asked to share a many personal details, and often freely give more. I am truly humbled by their willingness to seek help. May I always listen for the message the Holy Spirit gives me with an open heart. In the silence I hear best the call. SHARE YOUR STORY How Has the Holy Spirit Worked in Your Life?
