 Dear Visitor,
Welcome to our Parish Website and, indeed, a very warm welcome to our parish. The Parish of the Holy Ghost has served the Catholic community of Yeovil and the surrounding area for over one hundred years. We are privileged to be a Community that is rich in the diversity of God’s Gifts, as we are rich in cultural and ethnic diversity, too. We also have St. Michael’s Church at South Petherton. The Parish is served by priests from the Congregation of the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales (MSFS), one of whom serves the adjacent Parish Community of Somerton and Langport as well. The site will tell you about our times of Holy Mass, Confessions and any other services that may be required. The Parish has a volunteer-staffed Centre, where parishioners and visitors are welcome to spend some time making use of the different facilities available. In the parish itself we run various programmes of formation for both adults and young people, not forgetting our Friends in Retirement (F.I.R. Club). We hope that you will enjoy your visit to our site. Please contact us if you need further information or would like to register as a new parishioner. “Blossom where you are planted” ~St. Francis de Sales. Fr Martin, Parish Priest.  L-R: Fr.
