All are welcome to celebrate with us,” Bingle said in a statement on the parish’s anniversary. “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).
