My Neighbor’s Closet is celebrating its 30th year serving the Plattsmouth community.  The store was the brainchild of the late Rev. Fr. York, a former Church of the Holy Spirit pastor, and became a reality on November 6, 1989 when it opened its doors to the community. Thank you to all those from our Parish who given their time to this cause over the years.

Registration is now open for the Church of the Holy Spirit Children’s Choir. This is a great opportunity for your child to participate in the liturgy at Church of the Holy Spirit. Participating in our parish music ministry is a beautiful way to share our God-given talents with others. By leading the music at Mass, we help bring people closer to the Lord. Not only is the music itself powerful in helping to convert hearts and souls, but so are your children as they make it happen!

Details:
• Children’s choir is open to all 3rd-8th grade children in the parish.
• Choir practices will be held on Monday from 3:15-4:00 PM
• The choir will sing at Parish Masses throughout the year. A complete schedule will be distributed prior to the first rehearsal.
• First rehearsal is Monday, September 16th

For the benefit of ALL – We want all to be prepared and comfortable leading the music at Mass, and without practice they will not be. We will take attendance at practice. Members who are frequently absent from practice will be asked to sit with their family for Mass. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

If your child is interested in singing with this choir, please CLICK HERE to register.
