Holy Ghost Gives The Church A New Priest

Church of the Holy Ghost Posted on June 2, 2026 by Fr. Jay FinelliJune 2, 2026

Join us on Friday, June 19, at 5:00 PM as Rev. Shane Conlon, F.S.S.P., returns to Holy Ghost Church to offer a Solemn High Mass of Thanksgiving following his recent ordination to the holy priesthood.

Father Shane is the third priestly vocation to come from Holy Ghost Parish and the first in eleven years, following the ordination of Rev. Nicholas Fleming in 2015. We give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of his vocation and for the blessing of seeing another son of our parish called to serve Christ and His Church as a priest.

Following Holy Mass, all are invited to a reception in Holy Family Hall. Father Shane will also impart his First Priestly Blessing to all who wish to receive it.

Please join us for this joyful celebration as we thank God for the gift of the priesthood and pray for Father Shane as he begins his sacred ministry. May the Lord bless him with many holy and fruitful years in the service of His Church.

Corpus Christi Procession & 15th Anniversary Celebration

Dear Parishioners & Friends,

Sunday, June 7th is the Feast of Corpus Christi — a beautiful celebration of Our Lord’s Real Presence in the Most Holy Eucharist.

Please join us for Holy Mass at 9:00 AM, followed by our annual Eucharistic Procession and a reception in Holy Family Hall.

This year, we also give thanks to God as we celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Our Lady Queen of Peace Adoration Chapel. For fifteen years, countless hours of prayer, adoration, and grace have flowed from this sacred place of devotion to Our Eucharistic Lord.

Come and honor Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and join us for this joyful parish celebration of faith, thanksgiving, and fellowship.

We hope you and your family will be with us for this important day.

God love you,
Fr. Jay Finelli

“A Century of Faith and Love: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Eileen George”

Church of the Holy Ghost Posted on May 11, 2026 by Fr. Jay FinelliMay 11, 2026

As we approach next Sunday, we are reminded with gratitude and joy that the 9th Annual Memorial Mass for Eileen George also marks the 100th Anniversary of her birth. What a tremendous blessing it is to gather together in prayer and thanksgiving as we remember the life, faith, and witness of a woman whose love for Our Lord and devotion to our Heavenly Father, whom she affectionately called “Daddy God,” continue to inspire so many souls.

We warmly invite you to join us next Sunday at 2:00 PM for this special Memorial Mass as we honor Eileen’s life and commemorate this remarkable centennial celebration. Through prayer, reflection, and fellowship, we will remember her deep trust in God, her fidelity to the Church, and the spiritual legacy she leaves behind.

Following the Mass, all are invited to a reception in Holy Family Hall where there will be an opportunity for fellowship, remembrance, and celebration as we continue to honor Eileen’s life and the many ways she touched hearts throughout the years.

Please invite family and friends and join us for this beautiful afternoon of prayer, remembrance, and thanksgiving.
