Holy Ghost Catholic Church

     Holy Ghost Parish is a Christian family in the Roman Catholic tradition created to be a sign of Christ's presence in the Hammond community.
    Guided by the Holy Spirit we are committed to use our time, talent and treasures to: proclaim the word, celebrate faith through meaningful liturgies and sacramental rites, support and strengthen the family, nourish the spiritual formation of our members through educational and social ministries, develop the strengths and talents of our young people through the parish school and comprehensive youth program, and live out our beliefs in effective witness and service to people in need.
