Overview
Mission
The missionaries of the holy spirit (mhsf) is a catholic apostolate devoted to building up a culture of marriages strengthened by holy formation, intentional community, and a deep personal encounter with the holy spirit. Mhsf helps form husbands and wives through spiritual, intellectual, human, and apostolic formation through a 24-month seminary-like experience alongside other couples striving for sanctity.
What it reported doing in 2025
Mshf provides formation in a two-year commitment lived in mission together with a small community of like-minded married couples. This community forms a "chapter- and helps form husband and wife through human, intellectual, spiritual, and apostolic formation through a 24 month seminary-like experience alongside others striving for sanctity. Couples discover what they are (the church's teaching on marriage & family) and how to become that (the living out of charisms, gifts, and the practical application of vows & promises).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
