Holy Spirit Parish began in 1941. It began as the Lulu Island Mission started by Father Edward Malayter of the Mercy Fathers. The first parishioners were mainly Slovaks who built the first little church in 1942 and the Holy Ghost School and Hall in 1947.
Later Italian Catholic families settled in great numbers in Queensborough and in 1956 the parish was handed over to the Scalabrinians. They built the present Rectory in 1964 and the church in 1978/79.
Over the years Queensborough, New Westminster, B.C., has undergone and continues to undergo great changes especially in the demographics. Our Church reflects this change.
