What Holy Spirit Youth Stl does

Holy Spirit Parish is a Catholic parish located at 3130 Parkwood Lane in Maryland Heights, Missouri, serving the communities of Bridgeton and Maryland Heights. Founded in May 2004 through the merger of St. Blaise, St. Lawrence the Martyr, and St. Mary's Parishes, it operates under the canonical authority of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The parish delivers the full suite of Catholic ministry services: daily and Sunday Masses, the seven sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage), religious education through both a full-time Catholic school (Preschool through Grade 8) and the Parish School of Religion (PSR), plus ministries such as ACTS Retreats, the Holy Spirit Athletic Association, an annual Carnival, and a Seafood Dinner. Recent years have seen the parish absorb members from St. Jude's Parish in Overland under the All Things New initiative.

The parish is supported by a small administrative staff (a pastor, currently Fr. Gene Schaeffer, and two parish secretaries) and relies on volunteer-driven ministry operations. Its digital footprint includes a parish website (holyspiritstl.org), a weekly email newsletter, a Sunday Bulletin, an online Parish Calendar, online giving, a PSR enrollment platform (Faith Enroll), and a Rotunda Software-based ministry scheduling system. As a private nonprofit religious organization, Holy Spirit Parish is funded through parishioner donations, school tuition, event proceeds, and fundraising; financial figures are not publicly disclosed. The parish is also subject to Archdiocesan compliance requirements, including the Safe Environment Program (Protecting God's Children) for all child- and youth-serving volunteers and staff.
