Welcome to Holy Ghost Catholic Church

Welcome to our new Youth Minister!

We are so happy to welcome Mrs. Melissa Berghausen and her family to Holy Ghost Parish!

Melissa finds her greatest joy in seeing lives transformed by the power of prayer. She and her husband have a daughter and have recently moved from Louisville, Kentucy and New Albany, Indiana where she ministered as the director of youth ministry. Melissa has ministered in parishes in the areas of spirituality, social, and service.

Adopted and raised into a devout Catholic family, Melissa earned her B.A. from Southeastern Louisiana University in Kinesiology. She has ministered in many facets of her life which has continued to call her to minister to the young church. Melissa enjoys all kinds of sports, hanging out with her family and friends, watching movies, learning new things, and most of all, being a wife and a mother!
