Holy Spirit Cathlic Community in Toledo Celebrates First Anniversary with Roman Catholic Woman Priest Beverly Bingle

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 4, 2014

All are welcome to join Holy Spirit Catholic Community to celebrate
its first anniversary this coming Sunday, February 9, with 5:30 p.m.
Mass at Unity of Toledo, 3535 Executive Parkway. A reception will
follow.

Holy Spirit is an inclusive, Vatican II Eucharistic community pastored
by a Roman Catholic woman priest, Bev Bingle. Rev. Bingle was
ordained February 9, 2013, in the Roman Catholic WomenPriest (RCWP)
movement in the Roman Catholic Church, and the Holy Spirit Catholic
Community held its first Mass February 10.

"All are welcome to celebrate with us," she said. "As the Spirit of
God rests upon each and every one of us, so are all invited to
celebrate. All are equal. No one is excluded from communion,
regardless of marital status, gender orientation, or any other
barriers set up by our Catholic hierarchy that keep people away from
the sacraments. We don't read anywhere in the scriptures that Jesus
chased people off the mountain or away from the plain when he started
passing out the bread and fish, so neither do we."

Holy Spirit Catholic Community celebrates the traditional Roman
Catholic Mass, using a gender-inclusive translation of scriptures and
prayers, at 4:30 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. Sundays at the Interfaith
Chapel of Toledo Campus Ministry (2086 Brookdale, Toledo 43606), and
5:30 p.m. Sundays at Unity of Toledo (3535 Executive Parkway, Toledo
43606).
