Holy Hour for Peace – July 12, 2026

The Holy Hour at the  Church of the Holy Spirit was very anointed all the way through the hour.  The 18 member choir was surperb.  their diction perfect.  Marcus even had a violinest and another piano player while he conducted the choir singing a special piece.  They were fanstastic.
 
The congregational singing greatly helped to add variety and movement of the spirit.  Michael Herr (he is sending you several pics for the website) and Nick led the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, Provi Rose read a scripture reading and Dcn. Werner gave a short reflection.  Diane & I lead the rosary around 3;40.  Several people asked for prayer after it was finished.

BISHOP: Rejoicing in the Lord, from whom all good things come, let us ask Him for our needs:
DEACON: RESPONSE: LORD, SHOW US YOUR LOVE.

  • Jesus, King and center of all hearts, you love us and lead us to yourself with unending love and mercy, renew your covenant with all people, we pray to the Lord…
  • Jesus, our life and resurrection, you refresh the burdened and give rest to the weary, we pray to the Lord…
  • Jesus, look with compassion on victims of hatred & war and render justice to the innocent who are wronged, we pray to the Lord…
  • Jesus, free those in bondage and give sight to the blind, raise up the fallen and protect the stranger, we pray to the Lord…
  • Jesus, you enabled the blind to see, the deaf to hear, help our unbelief, we pray to the Lord…
  • Jesus, healer of body, mind, heart, and spirit, comfort & heal the sick, especially those here, seeking healing, we pray to the Lord…
  • Jesus, answer those petitions we hold silently in our hearts, we pray to the lord….

BISHOP: Father, keep in mind your holy covenant, sealed with the blood of the Lamb.

Healing Service – 2025

A Night of Unity, Renewal, and the Holy Spirit: A Beautiful Diocesan Celebration

On Thursday, March 27, from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM, the faithful gathered for a powerful evening of worship, unity, and spiritual renewal at the beautifully renovated Holy Spirit Catholic Church, located at 2300 Hickory Crest Drive in Memphis.

This special Holy Mass was celebrated by Bishop David P. Talley, who also served as the Homilist for the evening. Clergy from across the Diocese joined him, creating a truly diocesan-wide gathering that beautifully reflected the unity of the Church and the shared mission of faith.

The evening was marked by deep reverence, heartfelt worship, and a strong sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Parishioners, families, and visitors from throughout the community came together in one spirit, creating an atmosphere filled with prayer, praise, and expectancy.

Whether attendees were longtime members of the Charismatic Renewal or experiencing this style of worship for the first time, many shared that the night brought encouragement, peace, and a renewed sense of closeness to God.

The celebration took place in the newly refreshed sanctuary of Holy Spirit Catholic Church, which provided a warm and sacred space for worshippers to gather, pray, and receive.

The event was sponsored by the Memphis Catholic Charismatic Renewal Ministry, which joyfully welcomed all who attended and played a key role in bringing this meaningful evening to life.

It was a beautiful night that celebrated faith, unity, and the living movement of the Holy Spirit—leaving hearts renewed and spirits lifted throughout the Diocese.
