Letter From Our Pastor

Welcome to Holy Spirit Parish’s webpage! You are most welcome to join us anytime.

Message from our Pastor:

Welcome to Holy Spirit Parish! We are a vibrant, Roman Catholic Church with parishioners from diverse cultures who gather to celebrate our faith, to support one another and the wider community in prayer and action. The parish has many different ministries and activities catering to children, youth and the adult population of our community. Our patron is the Holy Spirit and we pray the Spirit will guide, inspire and equip to live our faith in a joyful, authentic way that bears witness to the truth and beauty of the Gospel. Archbishop Marcel Damphousse has encouraged our archdiocese to walk together in a time of renewal of our faith communities with these invitations: “Go out, Go Deep, Go Together.” Please join us as we work together to foster a welcoming, dynamic and faith-filled parish community! May God bless you and may the Holy Spirit be your constant companion and helper.

Sunday Reflection:  30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Sunday, October 25, 2026

Love for others flows from God’s love.

Gospel Reflection

We love God so much because He has first loved us.  We can’t earn his love or do anything to deserve it.  That is the amazing Good News of the Gospel!  God loves us so much He sent his only Son to deliver us from the forces beyond our control – sin and death.  The central message of the Gospel, of the whole history of salvation, is God’s unconditional love for you and me.  We can love God back because He has proven his love for us beyond a doubt in Christ Jesus and his sacrifice on the Cross.  The history of the cosmos – not only our personal story – rests on God’s love for us.  The greatest commandment then is our fitting response to God’s love.

Father Geoff
