The Man of the Shroud Exhibit is Coming!

The Church of the Holy Spirit will have an up-close experience of the most studied artifact of all time – The Shroud of Turin, what many believe to be the authentic burial cloth of Christ. The Man of the Shroud exhibit will include 42 beautifully- designed panels on display in the Commons from February 9 through February 16.

We will also present replicas of the Crown of Thorns, whips, nails and Holy Sponge used in the Passion of Our Lord. This exhibit will raise the questions, “Could the Shroud be the most important artifact ever found? Does it provide clues to what happened during the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus?”

On Tuesday, February 15th, at 6:30 PM, Shroud expert, Jim Bertrand, M.Ed. of the American Confraternity of the Holy Shroud, will give a special presentation and a rare viewing of a Shroud replica in our Sanctuary. The presentation is open to the public. Free will donations are accepted.

The third annual St. John the Baptist Golf Classic brought together 92 golfers, more than 50 sponsors and many volunteers to raise money for Catholic education in the Plattsmouth community.

The golf classic, held on Saturday, August 7, 2021, at Bay Hills Golf Course, was a winner in every way — breaking records in funds raised and attendance.  According to Knights of Columbus event organizer Mike Vaughn, the golf classic was a tremendous success, raising more than $15,000 to support St. John the Baptist School.

After cancelling last year’s tournament due to the pandemic, not even the humidity or stormy weather could stop players from making it a successful and memorable day. Players enjoyed on-course pin prizes, a Hole-in-One Contest, raffle drawings and swag bags.

Following the tournament, 173 golfers and friends enjoyed a banquet at St. John’s school which included a steak dinner catered by Church of the Holy Spirit. Mayor Paul Lambert was the emcee at the banquet. Also in attendance was Congressman Jeff Fortenberry.
