We rejoice during these 50 glorious days of the Easter season and celebrating the Spiritan mission! Join us in prayer each week through the Easter season, leading up to Pentecost, the birthday of the Church and the founding feast of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, as we seek the power of God’s spirit to strengthen and guide us.
Thanks to your support, the latest grant extended by SOMA is for construction of a water well and retention tanks for the Daniel Brottier Training Centre in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
We invite you to join us for a “Busy Person’s Retreat” during the 5th Week of Lent, March 22-26, 2021. This self-directed retreat reflects on the daily readings, offers a brief meditation, and presents some reflection questions to help us more fully enter the final days of our Lenten journey.
The Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Spirit (Spiritan Sisters) celebrate their Feast Day on March 16. This year marks the 100th anniversary of their founding on January 6, 1921.
On March 3, we celebrate the Feast of St. Katharine Drexel, who worked with the Spiritans in many parishes and schools serving African-American communities in Philadelphia, New York, and the deep South. She died in 1955 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1988.
