Be the Welcome That Makes a Difference!

Do you have a friendly smile and a heart to serve? Step into something meaningful by joining our Usher/Hospitality Ministry! Ushers are often the very first impression of our parish offering a warm welcome, helping others feel at home, and assisting during Mass in simple but important ways.

It’s a beautiful, easy way to grow in service, meet fellow parishioners, and be part of what makes Holy Family so special.

No experience needed, training is provided!

Come be a welcoming presence and help others encounter Christ from the moment they walk through the doors.

Interested? Contact Sam Bandy at holyfamilyushers@gmail.com to get started!

The Eucharistic Congress Committee Seeks YOUR help

Drop off your goodies any time after the 9:00 AM Mass on Friday, April 24 (please label your treats!). A table will be ready in the concourse.

ONE WEEK TO THE PARISH PICNIC!!!!!!!

Parish Picnic – Sunday, April 26^th @ 5 PM – 7:30 PM

Our Parish Picnic is here on Sunday, April 26^th! We'll have food, games, and good ol' fashioned fellowship on the last Sunday in April from 5 PM – 7:30 PM. Come relax just before we hit the annual busy season of May which brings First Communions, Mother's Day, Confirmations, and Graduations.

Please R.S.V.P. at the link below to let us know how many people from your family will attend and also what food you'll bring to share. The ideas listed are simply suggestions; please feel free to bring anything you think others in your Holy Family will enjoy! :)

Parish Picnic R.S.V.P.

The parish is providing the hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, and condiments so it's incredibly helpful to please R.S.V.P. This will give us an approximation of how many people we look forward to joining in the fun.

We intentionally picked a Sunday evening while Youth Ministry was still in session so please bring those middle/high school students and get some dinner before heading inside for Edge and/or LifeTeen!
