Verona Fights Hunger 2016 Closing Ceremony

Verona Fights Hunger Donates To Holy Spirit Food Pantry

Holy Spirit Verona Food Pantry will participate in the closing ceremony of the Verona Juniors Verona Fights Hunger Week town-wide event on Saturday, October 20 at 10am on the Town Hall steps.

Children's Eucharist

Once a month, typically the third Sunday, 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!

Kings Donates To Our Food Pantry

We are thankful to the Kings Verona management team who, earlier this year, began giving a portion of the donations purchased by Kings shoppers to our Food Pantry. Recently, we were informed that ALL donations purchased at Kings in Verona will be donated to the Holy Spirit Verona Food Pantry. We are most grateful to Kings’ leadership, and all those who shop at Kings Verona and purchase a pre-packaged bag of food and other essential items.

MORE Pictures of Our Bishop's Visit!

Because you can never have too many photos of your Bishop's Visit, here are some great ones taken by Sunday School Teacher, Kathleen Gentile. Thank you to Kathleen for capturing the first visitation of the eleventh bishop of the Diocese of Newark on film. Read the captions and you'll experieince our worship order of service!

Stewardship 2018-19 Kick-Off

On Sunday, October 21, we kick off our Stewardship Campaign that helps create the 2019 budget. This is the time of year when we each recommit our time, talent and treasure to the Holy Spirit Verona Community. This year’s stewardship theme "Transforming Generosity" is an opportunity to reflect on each of our priorities and plan for the future of this congregation as followers of Jesus.

Animal Blessings 2018 Photos

We once again hosted our annual Blessing of the Animals during our 10am worship. To celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis, we transferred the October 4 holiday to Sunday, October 7. Many pets and photos of pets were blessed and we were reminded of all of God's creatures great and small.

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.

ALL SAINTS' DAY - Bring In A Photo!

All Saints' Day is a day on which we pray the names of those we have lost in the past year (or longer). We are reminded of all those who have marked our lives with a sign, act, word, experience from their own. Once again, we encourage you to bring in a photo of a saint in your life, and you will be invited to share (during the sermon) a brief highlight of why this person is so significant in your life.

Kitchen Conversations: Liturgy of the Ordinary

Join us as we pause to intentionally prepare for Advent together. We will gather in the lower level kitchen for a Pre-Advent Spiritual Enrichment series using "Liturgy of the Ordinary" by Tish Harrison Warren. Let’s become aware of God’s presence. How do we embrace the sacred in the ordinary and the ordinary in the sacred? For six Sundays at 11:30am-ish, we will prepare to prepare the way of the Lord. Read more
