Holy Spirit Church & School

What Holy Spirit Church & School does

Holy Spirit Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish located at 515 Albert Street South in Saint Paul, Minnesota, founded in 1936 and celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2026. The parish operates under the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and is led by Pastor Fr. Tom Margevičius alongside Deacon John Rogers, Business Administrator Maureen Owusu, an accountant, directors of religious education, music and liturgy, communications and operations, maintenance, and additional support staff. It runs Holy Spirit Catholic School, a wholly owned subsidiary providing Catholic education from preschool through grade 8.

The parish's core offering is the sacramental and worship life of a Catholic community: daily and weekend Mass (Tuesday-Friday 7:30 a.m., Saturday 4:30 p.m., Sunday 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.), Saturday confessions, Eucharistic Adoration, and preparation for Baptism, First Communion and Reconciliation, Confirmation, OCIA (becoming Catholic), Marriage, and Funerals. Faith formation extends to youth (9th-12th grade programs), family catechesis via the "Keep the Fire Burning" program, and Small Groups of 5-10 individuals meeting in homes or at the parish. Music ministry is delivered through Traditional, Contemporary, and Children's Choirs. Distribution is primarily on-campus at the parish, with the Homebound Communion ministry extending pastoral care to more than 15 individuals at homes and the Waters retirement community.

Revenue derives from recurring tithes and offerings (facilitated by the Vanco online giving platform), school tuition at Holy Spirit Catholic School, one-time sacramental preparation fees ($35 per baptism, $50 per child for First Communion and Reconciliation), the Men's Club annual dues of $15, and facility rentals to parishioners and non-parishioners. The parish communicates through its website (holy-spirit.org), a weekly email bulletin via parishesonline.com, the FORMED Catholic streaming service, and community events such as Spirit Fest and Parish Day at CHS Field. Strategic social outreach partnerships include Habitat for Humanity (including the Pope Leo Village initiative at The Heights in Saint Paul), Neighborhood House, Casa Guadalupana, Conversations with Friends, the Interfaith Coalition on Immigration, Catholic Charities Loaves & Fishes (monthly supper service at the Dorothy Day Center), Every Third Saturday veteran collections, My Very Own Bed, and Second Stork layette collections.
