The Congregation of the Holy Spirit, also known as the Spiritans, is dedicated to working with the poor and marginalized, focusing on education, parish ministry, and retreat ministry across the United States. They emphasize education through universities, graduate programs, and secondary schools, promoting justice and peace for the oppressed.
One Heart. One Spirit.
On Pentecost in 1703, Claude Poullart des Places founded “The Seminary of the Holy Ghost,” a community dedicated to evangelization, the alleviation of poverty, and supporting future seminarians.
In 1841, Francis Libermann founded the Congregation of the Holy Heart of Mary, encouraged by the Pope to serve as missionaries to the slaves and former slaves in the French colonies of the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, and Africa.
In 1848, because of their similar purpose, charism, and works, the Church merged the original Spiritan community and the Congregation of the Holy Heart of Mary.
