The parish has make the following statement:

Our Catholic faith does not allow us to build Spirit-I and Spirit-II in a manner that is inconsistent with our principals and standards of respect for the environment and energy conservation practices. To this end, the Holy Spirit Catholic Church has endeavored to design, build and operate facilities that respect these faith tenets. Spirit-I and Spirit-II are separately registered as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Projects with the United States Green Building Council(USGBC). The Spirit-I design has been reviewed by the USGBC and found to be supportive to become at least LEED certified in 2010. Spirit-II (The Church) as it is an extension of Spirit-I should also become certified in 2011. The Holy Spirit Catholic Church should become the first LEED certified Church in Kentucky and one of the very first in the Nation. We are very proud to be able to help lead the way to a Greener more energy efficient future.
