Our Parish Mission Statement

Before returning to His Father, Jesus commissioned His apostles and thus His church to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Thus, the mission of the church and of our parish is evangelization, sanctification, and teaching. Based on Jesus’ teaching that “whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” Part of the church’s mission has been help for the poor. In response to our industrialized society, the church and our parish has made this a mission of social justice.


If we can be of any help to you, please don’t hesitate to call the parish office.

 Parish History

The Parish of the Holy Spirit was founded in June 1980 by the Yakima Diocese with Msgr. John Ecker as founding Pastor. After nearly two years of Sunday Masses at Desert Hills Middle School and daily Masses in rented office space, the new church was dedicated in February 1982 at its present site. Msgr. Ecker moved after Easter 1988 and was replaced by Fr. John O’Shea as pastor. The new rectory was built in 1999. The Parish Community Center (PCC) was built in 2006. Fr. O'Shea retired in July 2007, Fr. Perron Auve retired in 2019 and currently Fr. Michael Brzezowski is our pastor. The parish has been served by seven deacons over the years including John Segura, Tom Henn, John Powers and Ron Mertens and currently, Ken Ellis, Mike Gaulke, and Eric Shaber.
