"Lent: 40 Days, 40 Items" Food Drive

Do something special this Lent: help fight hunger one day at a time! Place one non-perishable food or toiletry item into a box each day during Lent (40 days = 40 items). Return the box and its contents to Holy Spirit Verona by Palm Sunday, April 14. If you would like to pick up a box, email us to make arrangements, or download two flyers (coming soon!) to make your own box.

Lenten Journey with our Neighbors at St. Peter's Essex Fells

The neighboring Episcopal Church parishes of Holy Spirit Verona, St. Peter’s Essex Fells & St. Peter’s Livingston, invite all to share a Lenten journey of prayer and fellowship on the Wednesday evenings of Lent. We will meet each Wednesday at 7pm for a quiet Eucharist followed with a short meal of bread and soup.

March 13 – St. Peter’s Church, 271 Roseland Avenue, Essex Fells

Children's Eucharist

Once a month, typically the third Sunday (but this month the fourth), the 10am Eucharist is an interactive/teaching Eucharist. Our Church School students process forward with all the items to help set the table. It is great fun for children of all ages!

Welcome to Church of the Holy Spirit!

The red door on an Episcopal (Anglican) Church is traditionally a sign of welcome. Come through the door, and you'll discover that we are a multi-generational, family-centered church. Our congregation worships together, supports each other in times of trouble, celebrates together, and does God’s work in the world. We are open, welcoming, and inclusive. We invite you to join us.

Finding Holy Spirit

The Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit is located at 36 Gould Street, Verona, and is one block north of Bloomfield Avenue. It is directly across the street from the H.B. Whitehorne Middle School track.

Park in the parking lot and come in the red door. Before each service, you are likely to find our rector standing on the sidewalk or front steps to greet you.
