Are you searching for a way to share the love the Spirit has put in your heart? Perhaps we can help you to find one.

 

Rooted in a vital Trinitarian spirituality, we are called, like Mary, to reverence in a special way the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in ourselves, in others and in all creation. Living in the Spirit of Pentecost, we continue the mission of the Risen Christ through our simple presence, humble gestures and collaborative efforts. Together we are sent forth in Gospel boldness to witness God's tender love for all, especially the least favored, "that all may have life and have it to the full."

For general information, contact the Secretariat of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit, 72 Church Street, Putnam, CT 06260 (860) 928-0891, extension 118.
 

We are an international congregation of vowed women religious who believe that the Spirit of God, poured out at Pentecost, is present and at work today creating a world of justice and love. In response to the Spirit's invitation to participate in this work, we weave with our lives a web of relationships marked by simple presence and collaboration with others. In this spirit, we welcome among us Consecrated Seculars and men and women Associates with whom we form the DHS Family.

Ours is a spirit of gentle compassion and humble service. In a special way, we try to welcome into our circle of care and concern those of the Earth community whose dignity is not respected, whose voice is not heard. We look to Mary, woman totally surrendered to the Spirit, as our model and advocate, as we work to create with others an ever-expanding circle of love.
