THANK YOU TO "BUD" PORTZ FAMILY AND TO THE DUBUQUE RACING ASSOCIATION (DRA) for making it possible for us to restore our handicap ramp to Holy Ghost Church. Their financial support and the workmanship of Dan Arensdorf Construction and Performance Fabrication have once again restored a safe access for all who come to Holy Ghost church. Thank you Portz family and DRA!

As the archdiocesan 175th observance comes to a close we enter into the Universal Church's observance of the “Year of Faith.” The Year of Faith, announced by Pope Benedict, begins October 11 and will conclude on November 24, 2013. Pope Benedict is calling us “to rediscover the journey of faith.” Embarking on this journey with the universal Church gives us the opportunity to continue our celebration as a diocesan Church by taking new initiatives in evangelization. Be alert to many events inviting you to deeper faith.
