Holy Spirit is on Earth, Jesus in Heaven?

The Nicene Creed and the Bible say that Jesus ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. So that tells me that the Father and Jesus Christ are in Heaven.

Jesus said He would provide a “comforter”. So the Holy Spirit is on the surface of the earth with us. The Father threw Satan and one-third of the Angels out of heaven and gave the Evil One dominion over the air of the earth.

My question is * on the earth’s surface do we have the fallen angels along with the Holy Spirit ever day - all the time? Is Jesus up in Heaven - possibly sending directives to the Holy Spirit? Does the Father send great Angels to the earth such as Michael and Gabriel to do small “jobs”? But most of all is the only part of the Trinity that we have here on earth the Holy Spirit? This is not a frivolous question. Do the fallen Angel migrate from hell to the earth and back to hell again?
 
Jesus dwells on Earth and in us everyday. He is present in all the tabernacles of the world, including us when we receive him in the Eucharist.
 
Exporter,

If it’s only the Holy Spirit who is here on earth, it contradicts the omnipotence of God. So God is present everywhere. Angels are not omnipotent beings that they can be present everywhere. They are powerful but they are not divine.

Thank you for your kind answers, but. Our Nicene Creed tells us that Christ ascended to heaven and sits at the Father’s right hand. Every Catholic believes that after 40 days Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. Every Catholic will tell you that Jesus said He would leave behind a comforter (the Holy Spirit).
  1. Why was a comforter needed if Jesus and God were to remain on earth? Is the Holy Spirit the extention of the Trinity on earth now?
    1a. Yes, I agree that Jesus Christ comes into the Euchrist during the canon of the Mass. I did not ask about that.
  2. Do the fallen Angels migrate from earth to hell and back again?
 
I think there’s still a lot of confusion about what heaven is. I think a lot of people base their ideas about heaven that it is some sort of “place” that’s not right here, and those who are in heaven, because of the nature of matter, cannot be here as well.

Not the case.

Jesus Christ is the Living God. Creation is lesser than He. He is not bound by anything He has created, be that space or time. But he is not, say, in a tree or in a dog or anything like that. He is not completely separate from creation (like the Deists’ notion of God), nor is he completely immanent in creation (like Hindu, Wiccan and New Age notions of God). In His love for creation, He enters into it, for our sake.

So when Christ comes to us in Communion, it’s not as if he’s gotten off his throne at the Right Hand of God the Father. He brings us to Him, as he sits on the throne.

Remember, also, that there are not three gods. There is only one God. So, how could there be one Person of the Trinity without the other Two? Jesus has sent us the Love of the Holy Spirit of God. And when we experience the Holy Spirit, we are experiencing Jesus and the Father as well.
