The annual St. John the Baptist Golf Classic, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, raised $9,134.00 in support of our school. The Golf Classic was held June 15th at Bayhills Golf Course in Plattsmouth.

Fr. Houlihan and Linda Monahan accept the check from the Knights of Columbus and PCCW.

“We are extremely grateful for the generous contributions and donations from the community and appreciate the ongoing support from the Knights of Columbus and our Parish’s PCCW organization,” said St. John’s Principal Linda Monahan.

After a short break for summer, Church of the Holy Spirit Children’s Liturgy program & Mass Daycare will return August 25th.  Both programs will only be available during the Sunday 10:30AM Mass.  Mass Daycare will be open 10 minutes prior to Mass until the end of Mass. The Children’s Liturgy program, referred to as Wee Worship, will last approximately 20 minutes – with the children leaving Mass before the first reading and returning during the offertory.

Wee Worship activities will relate to that week’s readings and will be arranged & provided the week before.  Please consider volunteering to help with the programs.

Meet Our New Youth Ministry Coordinator 

“Hello! My name is Kaseandra Martinez, but I go by Cassie. Originally from Nebraska City, I’m 19 years old and graduated from Lourdes Central Catholic in 2018. I attended Benedictine college last year but will be transferring to UNL this semester. My major is in Psychology/ Biology and I plan on becoming a neuropsychologist.

This past summer I had the opportunity to be a missionary for Totus Tuus and travel all around Nebraska. I spent my first week in Plattsmouth and I fell in love with The Church of the Holy Spirit. This experience, and The Lord’s calling, is what led me here today. God directed me here, to the Plattsmouth community.

I’m so excited to be the Youth Ministry Coordinator for the Parish and I look forward to serving our youth — and getting them more involved with the diocese and helping them grow closer in their relationship with God.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your Parish! I can’t wait to get to know all of you!”

— Cassie Martinez
