We made this video to let our students know just how much we all miss them.  Enjoy!

During the Coronavirus shutdown, 70 of our families (PK-3 through 8th grade) participated in a STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Art, Math) challenge.  Check out the rules and results in the video above.

Just ask our parents!

"With seven years of Holy Spirit schooling under my belt, and eleven more ahead of me, I feel very comfortable saying that HSS offers the type of loving, supportive, academically challenging, and socially well-rounded atmosphere parents want for their kids. My children have not only succeeded in their schoolwork, but have made genuine and lasting friendships. I've also benefitted from the HSS network, which offers numerous volunteer activities for career as well as vocational parents. In addition, I've made great friends among the teachers and parents, and feel extremely reassured that the entire HSS family reflects the same goals and values my family holds."  -Trish J

Sr. Marie Antonelli, MPF professed her final vows as a member of the Community of Religious Teachers Filippini.  Sr. Marie earned a B.A. degree in education from Seton Hall University and an M.A. in administration and supervision from Fordham University.  She has spent her entire religious life as either a teacher or administrator (principal) in Catholic education, including more than 30 years as principal here at Holy Spirit School. 

Sr. Marie has been the recipient of many major awards and honors, including “Distinguished Principal” by the National Catholic Education Association.  In addition, Sr. Marie was the recipient of the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice medal from Pope John II, an honor through which she also was conferred the title of “monsignor”. 

Sr. Marie received the Vivere Christus Award from Bishop Arthur J Serratelli for personal contributions to the mission of Christ and His Church.  She received the Caritas Award for Advocacy, granted to a very select few individuals in recognition of their embodiment of the spirit of stewardship in our Diocese.  Sister’s award presentation described her as “a legend in our Diocese for her fierce commitment to Catholic education” and “a most significant witness to the presence of Christ”.

In fulfilling the Mission of Holy Spirit School, Sr. Marie strives to lead by emulating the words of Jesus Christ enjoining us to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”  Luke 10:27

Finishing STRONG!! We love you, we miss seeing you, and we are so proud of the accomplishments of the Class of 2020.

This video was made by Christina, the daughter of one of our teachers, as part of her Girl Scout Silver Project. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can achieve. It gives the scout the chance to show that she is a leader who is organized, determined, and dedicated to improving her community. Christina's project focused on the decreased enrollment in Catholic schools, and the video was a component of the overall project to raise awareness.

During our virtual faculty meeting on 4/20, Sr. Marie and the teachers were treated to a beautiful video created by our students with the help of their parents.  Everyone was so touched; and we all miss our students so very much!
