Martinmas at Holy Spirit

Picture
Known by  places we take our donations as the "Blessed Coat" church, Holy Spirit remembers the
​generosity ofSt. Martin of Tours each year around his feast day, November 11th. He was a Roman soldier
who was baptized asan adult and became a bishop in a French town. The most famous legend concerning
him was that he had oncecut his cloak in half to share with a beggar during a snowstorm, to save the latter
​from the cold. That night, he dreamed of J
esus, wearing the half-cloak and saying to the angels, "Here is Martin,
the Roman soldier who is now baptized; he has clothed me." 
Saint Martin died on November 8, 397.

We collect coats, sweaters, hats, and gloves or mittens and share them. Our congregation never ceases
to be amazed at the number of coats we collect each year. This year we took 81 coats, sweaters, hats, and
​gloves to Tricounty Family Ministries!
