Help Spiritans in Poland Hosting
Ukrainian Refugees
Please consider making a donation today to help the Spiritans in Poland, who are hosting Ukrainian refugees. The first $10,000 received in donations will be matched dollar for dollar by the U.S. Province!
The Polish Province has shared with us their situation:
We have all been touched by the enormity of the human tragedy that has befallen the Ukrainian people. A multitude of refugees, now numbering close to two million, have crossed our borders and we, as a nation, are mobilizing to help them. This is a wonderful testimony of solidarity, openness of heart and Christian love for our neighbor. Everyone, individuals, institutions, businesses, the Church, are mobilizing to help refugees today. And their needs are unlimited, requiring action here and now, but also planning for the weeks and months to come…
The Congregation of the Holy Spirit is actively involved in this relief effort. All of our communities have joined in the collections that are being redistributed to refugees by the Church's Caritas agencies.
We encourage everyone to pray for peace in Ukraine and for all the help we can give to those who have experienced the horror of war and death.

The Spiritans began working in Ohio (Fr. Steurer in Troy, St Patrick's, 1872, and Fr. Ott in Piqua, St Boniface, with 5 mission stations, 1873) even before the arrival of their 1st Provincial (Fr. Strub in 1874).
- In 1928, they took over the ministry to the African Americans in Cincinnati (St. John the Baptist Church). That same year, the Archbishop asked them to take care of the growing African American Community in Dayton.
- Since then, the Spiritans have dedicated their ministry among African American Catholics and all who joined, and they still are continuing ministering among urban and rural parishes.
- At the moment they serve 5 churches in the Dayton area: Corpus Christi, Our Lady of Mercy (Our Lady of Grace Parish), Queen of Martyrs Parish, St. Benedict the Moor, and St. Mary, striving to be a light that shines to brighten the life of the people they serve in the Archdiocese of the Most Rev. Dennis Marion Schnurr.
