Holy Spirit's 50th Birthday Mass

Dear Holy Spirit Community,

We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to our 50th Birthday Mass.

It was a beautiful celebration and a wonderful reminder of what a special, caring and supportive community we have at Holy Spirit. It was truly a joy to see so many members of our school and parish community come together to celebrate this significant milestone.

We would like to make special mention of our wonderful students who played such an important part in the Mass. Thank you to those who sang, read, processed in with our school banner, presented the gifts of bread and wine, and altar served. Your participation added such a special touch to our celebration, and we are very proud of you.

A special thank you also to the members of our Parish Choir for sharing their beautiful voices and helping to create such a joyful and prayerful atmosphere throughout the Mass. Your music truly enhanced our celebration.

A big thank you also to everyone who prepared, brought and served food. There was certainly plenty to enjoy, and the sharing of food and fellowship made the celebration even more special.

How wonderful it was to have Bishop Thinh celebrate our 50th Birthday Mass with us on Sunday. We are very grateful that he was able to join us for this important occasion and help us give thanks for the past 50 years of Holy Spirit. Our sincere thanks also go to Fr

 Arsenio and Fr John for their presence​ and support ​for our celebration.

A special thank you to Mary Ryan for providing the wonderful slideshow. The images captured the essence of our community so beautifully — our faith, our students, our families, our staff and the many special moments that have shaped Holy Spirit over the past 50 years. It was a wonderful reflection of the community we are so fortunate to be part of.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 50th Birthday celebration such a memorable and joyful occasion. Fifty years of faith, family and friendship is certainly something worth celebrating!
