Bereavement Committee
The Bereavement committee provides a reception
after a funeral Mass. Monsignor O’Connor informs the
committee of a request from the family of the deceased to
have a gathering in the church hall. The committee consists
of volunteers from the parish community. We provide sandwiches,
salads, desserts, coffee and punch. This service is provided
by the Holy Spirit Parish and is supported by donations.

St. Vincent de Paul
“Inspired by Gospel values, the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads
women and men to join together to grow spiritually in the
tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron,
St. Vincent de Paul. As a reflection of the whole family of
God, members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from
every ethnic and cultural background, age group and economic
level. Vincentians are united in an international society
of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing,
which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive
gatherings.
No distinction in those served, because in them, Vincentians
see the face of Christ.
Organized locally, Vincentians witness God’s
love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society
collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need
and addressing its causes. The Holy Spirit St. Vincent de
Paul Chapter meets on the 4th Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m.
in the Church Hall. Anyone interested is invited to join us!
