History

At Holy Spirit Verona we share in three weeks of "Pre-Advent" -- the three Sundays between All Saints and Advent 1.  During this time we encourage you to take an intentional “pause” before the waiting and preparing of Advent.  Advent used to be seven weeks, up until the 7th century, and there is a small movement within the Church to return to that (see theadventproject.org).  Many of the scripture readings and prayers after All Saints give a hint or lean towards Advent, so Father Jerry says... why not just go there!

It has been three years since our Diocesan Bishop visited Holy Spirit, so on Sunday, September 12, the Right Rev. Carlye J. Hughes will preach and celebrate at our 10am service, meet with the congregation (in the Sanctuary and available via Zoom) after the service, and then conclude her visit with a meeting (in the Fellowship Hall) with the Vestry and Diocesan Convention representatives.  To learn more about the Dicoese, take a look at Bishop Hughes' vlog (video blog).

It gives us great pleasure to announce that on Saturday, May 8 at 10am, by the grace of God and the consent of God's people, our Seminarian Katherine Rollo will be ordained a transitional deacon along with two other women in the Diocese of Newark.  The service will be live-streamed from Trinity and St. Philip's Cathedral, Newark.  Your prayers and online presence are requested.  For more information visit the Diocesan website.
