On this Second Friday of Lent, we are drawn closer to the Cross. We are called to remember that love is not proven in comfort, but rather in surrender. Dear Heavenly Father, may this Second Friday of Lent draw us into deeper trust. Please soften what is hardened. Open what is closed. Uproot what resists Your grace. Let us walk toward Calvary not as spectators, but as the beloved — learning that surrender is not loss; it is transformation. The Cross is not the end of hope; it is the doorway to resurrection. Amen.

Mass at 6:00 p.m.

Bi-Lingual Stations of the Cross immediately following mass TONIGHT (2/27)!

What a beautiful way to walk with our Lord!

Something exciting is headed our way!!!

Stay tuned for this exciting addition to our Holy Family!

Brunswick Stew pick up... NEXT Saturday, March 7th,

The Bake Sale is Saturday and Sunday after Mass!! (2/28-3/1)

Your support is always greatly appreciated.

Adoration 101

March 11^th at 6:30

Eucharistic Adoration is an incredible way to spend time with the LORD and deepen your relationship with The Almighty - but many don’t know how to participate. Attending this Adoration “primer” will change that for you. Whether you’ve never been to Adoration or you’ve already been going for decades, please join us on Wednesday, March 11^th from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM in the Family Center as we discuss the “HOWs”, the “WHYs”, and most importantly the “WHO” of Adoration. Spending intentional time before the King of the Universe reminds us of who we are and whose we are. And thanks to Daylight Savings Time, it will still be light on the drive home! God is good.

Confession 101

March 18^th @ 10 AM

Do you want to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation but you're hesitant since you've "been away too long?" Or do you regularly attend and are instead looking for tips on how to better prepare? Or are you somewhere in between? Join us Wednesday, March 18^th for a day-time session from 10 AM – 11:15 AM in the Family Center as Fr. Peter guides us on how to prepare for Reconciliation and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at this wonderful gift of Divine Healing. A variety of Examinations of Conscience will be provided and the event will also include live demonstrations to illustrate various penitent "stereotypes." Attend this review and prepare for your next Reconciliation with confidence. (leonard@holyfamilyclemmons.com / 336.778.0600 x223)

Online Giving Enrollment Drive –

March 7^th & 8^th

Have you been meaning to switch to Online Giving for your weekly Offertory (and other contributions) but either keep forgetting or maybe don’t know how? If so, please stop by the Curlin Center Concourse after all Masses on the weekend of March 7^th & 8^th. Parish staff & trained volunteers will either help walk you step-by-step to enroll yourself in the parish’s Online Giving system or will happily do it for you if you prefer. They’ll also be available to answer questions or discuss the value of an encrypted, secure system that gives you the flexibility of giving at your convenience and knowing that your gift is processed rapidly and available to be used for its intended purpose right away.

Looking for a beautiful and enriching way to enter more deeply into Lent?

Join us on Saturday, March 14th (9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.) for the Columbiettes Sponsored Ladies Lenten Retreat — a day set apart for prayer, reflection, and renewal.

This year, Fr. Juan Miguel Sanchez and Sr. Archana will lead us in drawing closer to God and deepening our love for the Eucharist. Through inspiring talks, meaningful fellowship, and quiet moments with the Lord, you will be invited to slow down, listen, and allow Christ to gently refresh your heart.

Step away from the noise of everyday life and enter into a sacred space where grace can meet you personally and powerfully.

Come ready to be renewed.

Come ready to be nourished.

Come ready to grow closer to Him.

Registration is $30.00 and you can register right here at Holy Family Parish weekdays between now and Tuesday, March 10th.

Circle of St. Joseph - Foster Family Collection Drive

The Circle of St. Joseph invites you to join them in collecting new clothing & bedding items to support children entering foster care this March. These thoughtful donations will be delivered directly to the Fostering Families Resource Center on the Crossnore campus.

Please visit their table in the Narthex after all masses this weekend (Feb 28^th & Mar 1^st). They’ll be handing out flowers with clothing sizes and ages listed—simply take a flower and return the items by March 16^th to the labelled box in the Narthex.
