Church of the Holy Spirit

About this church

Church of the Holy Spirit is an Episcopal parish across from the Town Green in downtown West Haven, Connecticut, part of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut and the Anglican Communion. Sunday worship is at 9 a.m. in the sanctuary. On the second and fourth Sundays of the month the service is Holy Eucharist with a sermon and hymns, and on the first, third and fifth Sundays it is Morning Prayer with a sermon and hymns. Coffee hour follows in the Common Room. The building is a brown stone church, and the parish traces its history back to 1723. Services are also streamed live on the church's Facebook page, and confirm the schedule with the parish office at 203-934-3437 before visiting.

Beyond Sunday worship, the parish offers a healing ministry with prayer and anointing in the Lady Chapel, a prayer list that is lifted up each week, and visits with communion for those unable to attend. A book club meets after church on the first, third and fifth Sundays, and a Fourth Sunday forum is held in the fall. Outreach centers on feeding neighbors, including collections for the West Haven food program WHEAT and breakfasts prepared for Columbus House. The church also hosts a number of twelve-step recovery groups in its buildings throughout the week, and the fellowship hall can be rented for community use.
