Thank you for your kind donations to support the food pantry at Church of the Holy Spirit. They are greatly appreciated and will be put to good use.  The number of families using the food pantry has increased significantly in the past few years. Our monthly Food Drive is on March 18 & 19 and will benefit the St. Marcelline Food Bank.

Your donations of food this year broke the weight scales! St. Aloysius Parish was grateful to receive your donations of food to make this Thanksgiving a memorable one, as their pantry shelves were extremely low. And, your generosity of $1,160.00 of donated gift cards was able to supplement family Thanksgiving tables. Again, THANK YOU ALL and may God continue to bless you and your families for all you do to support our sharing parish.

Children who have been exposed to domestic violence often learn destructive lessons about the use of violence and power in relationships in addition to the physical, behavioral, psychological, and cognitive effects.  These lessons can have a powerful negative effect on children in social situations and relationships throughout childhood and in later life.

This non-denominational support group is for those who have lost a spouse or intended life partner. We meet the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month at 7 PM at Holy Family Parish, 2515 Palatine Road, Inverness. Come get the support you need in this difficult time. All are welcome.

Domestic Violence happens to people of every educational and socio-economic level at the same incidence.  Domestic Violence happens in all races, religions and age groups. Read on to learn more.
