Holy Spirit Parish

Holy Spirit Parish was established in July of 2011 with the merger of Holy Ghost, Holy Trinity and Sacred Heart parishes located on the North End and Point areas of Dubuque. The former parishes were established between 1878 and 1910. The total membership of Holy Spirit Parish is approximately 4,200. The parish exists to provide services and assistance for the poor, to visit the sick and home-bound, to catechize children and adults, to nurture youth, console the bereaved, and to study scripture and evangelize the unconverted according to Roman Catholic faith.

Funds raised through Great Give Day 2026 will be used to make much needed repairs to the historic Wangerin-Weickhardt pipe organ in Holy Ghost Church.  This is one of the few surviving Wangerin constructed organs in the country.  It was installed in 1922, and had its last major overhaul nearly fifty years ago.
