As defined...

"HOLY GHOST, The. The third Person of the Blessed Trinity, consubstantial with the Father and the Son, from both of whom he proceeds by a common spiration (a movement of the will tending towards the beloved object). He is 'sent' by the Father and the Son on the mission of accomplishing the work of salvation in the souls of men. The Holy Ghost came down upon the apostles on the day of Pentecost, confirming them in their faith and filling them with the fulness of all gifts that they might preach the gospel and spread the Church throughout the world. He sanctifies us by his graces and by the virtues he infuses, and enlightens and moves us so that, if we co-operate with grace, we may attain to everlasting life. The Holy Ghost continually gives life and comfort (he is The Comforter; John xiv, 16) to the Church by his ever-present help, and by his gifts guides her infallibly in the way of truth and holiness." (Catholic Dictionary)

"The Holy Ghost is called also the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, and other names given in Holy Scripture." (Baltimore Catechism)

"Now what the soul is to the body of man, the Holy Spirit is in the body of Christ, which is the Church. The Holy Spirit does in the whole Church what the soul does in all the members of a single body." (St. Augustine, Doctor of the Church)
