Feasibility Study
Dear Holy Spirit Parish and Community,
As your pastor, I am thrilled to share with you exciting news about the future of our beloved Holy Spirit Parish. Over the past few years, we’ve been blessed with tremendous growth. We’ve seen our parish community expand, our programs flourish, and our need for space increase significantly!
This growth is a testament to the vitality of our community, but it also presents us with challenges. Many of you have expressed concerns about our limited space for gatherings, meetings, and educational programs. I want you to know that we’ve heard you.
But remember, this is not my parish – it’s our parish. Your input is crucial as we move forward. We’re conducting a Feasibility Study to gather your thoughts on our current and future facilities. We’ve mailed a questionnaire survey to over 1,500 parish households as part of our Study. We strongly encourage everyone to return their completed survey next weekend. Your participation in this survey is vital. It’s an opportunity for each of you to share your thoughts, concerns, and hopes for our parish’s future. Whether you fill out the paper form or complete it online, please take the time to make your voice heard.
As we embark on this journey together, let’s keep our community in our prayers. May God continue to bless our parish and guide us as we grow in faith and fellowship.
Love,
Fr. Mark

What are our guiding principals for this project?
What is the ‘Inspired by the Spirit’ project?
The Inspired by the Spirit project has evolved!
Beginning with the church, the Multi-Purpose Room and adjacent areas now include a New Parish Family Center, modifications to the narthex and gathering space, a new kid zone, family restroom, mother’s room, relocated sacristy, and renovations to the current parish office.
Additionally, the project will include an expansion of the Child Development Center, connecting the school to the CDC building. This “Welcoming Center” improves safety, with a more secure pick up and drop off area, and interior functional space.
It also increases the capacity for the early childhood development program, and subsequent possibilities at the school.
The Inspired by the Spirit project now encompasses the first two priorities from the Parish Town hall! What an exciting time to see the Spirit working in our community.
