The Mission of The Holy Spirit is part of the Catholic family of churches in The American Church Story. 301 congregations of the Catholic family gather across Virginia — 19,012 across the United States on The Church Map.

From the Catholic Church the whole body received the canon of Scripture, the creeds still recited every Sunday in traditions that never look to Rome, and monasteries that kept learning and Scripture alive through a thousand unlit years. Its parishes remain the largest network of schools, hospitals, and shelters in America, most of them serving people who will never attend a Mass.

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of adults say they are socially isolated, and nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 2,400 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
