Celebrating 75 years! Living and Sharing the Gospel Message 1940 – 2015

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Holy Family Parish is a Roman Catholic community of believers. We are a caring,

as we strive to be faithful to Christ’s command to evangelize all people.

First Friday (October-June)

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament “Will you

not spend one hour with me” is the plea of Jesus.

Mass and conclude with Benediction of the Blessed

Sacrament at 2:00 pm.

Sign up sheet will be at the Baptismal Font.

Communion for the Homebound

WILLS

We all know it is important to have a Will, but

more than half of us do not. If you have been

thinking of writing a Will or have not reviewed

your Will in a number of years, then take the time

and do so today.

Planning your Will is very important. You can tell

your family and loved ones exactly what you

want done with your Estate. Your first concern is

to provide for those closest to you. Then, please

keep in mind those who need your help. Our

Church’s work relies on your support. One of the

ways that you can help us accomplish this work

in Christ is through bequest or gift to:
