Holy Spirit Catholic Parish was a Catholic Community unlike any of us had ever experienced. It was a parish truly alive with the Holy Spirit. It had over 100 very active ministries. This all changed on June 18, 2003, when our bishop, Raymundo Peña, sent his diocesan employees into our parish to fire all of our staff. These firings were done in retaliation for their having joined a Union. Our archives, begining in July of 2003, provides the complete history.

Night Prayer, R.I.P.
Yes we have been R.I.P.'ed. As an infrequent visitor to night prayer, I feel like my church is trying to deny me my right to pray in a fashion that I am comfortable with. Why does Holy Spirit need another day of Adoration, are we so booming with participants that we need more time for them or is this just another way to say, "It's My Way or No Way at All". Boy is someone being selfish and child like. Why can't the powers that run this parish grow up and let all join together around the table.

In praise of Bishop Peña.
Isn't it wonderful how our Bishop has remained so involved in all of the injustices that have transpired at Holy Spirit under Monsignor Louis Brum’s fiasco? All of the many appropriate actions that our bishop has taken over the last three years have been such an inspiration for us all. His many examples as our Spiritual Leader, on a very personal level, have inspired me to strive to model myself after his example each day of my life. Thank you Bishop Peña for being such an inspiration to me and for providing me with such a living example of Christ’s teaching!
Is Anonymous #2 a joke????? Our bishop has been the worst example of a spiritual leader I have ever seen in the 53 years that I have been a Catholic!!
Hey Kanickers,
You should do a Web Page on "The Life and Times of Bishop Raymundo Peña." Everyone could contribute with stories of all the wonderful things that he has done during his lifetime. What do you think?
