Our Mission


Holy Family Parish is a community empowered through the Holy Spirit to promote the Kingdom of God and to extend Christ's presence among us. This vision will be realized with our loving acceptance of all people, through heartfelt openness, parish and family unity, and Spirit led involvement.

 I'd like to share a motive with you discreetly .I have been working on supporting parishioners in need and the sick with gift cards in our parish . As families and individuals continue to struggle in these times, as the need arises.. This should be confidential until they get the Vouchers in their email, as it is a surprise. If it's not too much trouble let me know if you can assist with the purchase, You will be reimbursed .I will be waiting for your feedback. God bless you

 

Add that Father will never request money or gift cards from parishioners through text message or email.

Be Aware of a SCAM email being sent to some parishioners!

Some people have reported getting an email from Fr. Jonas asking for help with gift cards for families that are sick and are struggling financially - asking that you keep this confidential. PLEASE delete this email if you receive it - this is a Scam email!


Please note that Fr. Jonas would NEVER email anyone to ask them to send funds or gift cards!!

                               50TH ANNIVERSARY OF CRS RICE BOWL   ~
Pick up a rice bowl at church and participate in this wonderful Lenten tradition! 
  The  CRS Rice Bowl is the Lenten program of Catholic Relief Services, that  invites Catholics and faith communities in the United States to encounter God and our global family throughout Lent by practicing the pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.


Week 5 - The Eucharist and Hunger

The Eucharist makes visible our communion with our sisters and brothers and our shared responsibility as one human family. As Catholics, we believe no person should go hungry; however, our world is currently facing levels of hunger that experts believe could be the new normal. That’s why it is more important than ever for us to recommit each Lent—and throughout the year—to supporting our global family experiencing these challenges.

Palm Sunday Procession

On Palm Sunday we begin our solemn celebration of Holy Week by remembering Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. At the 5PM Mass, weather permitting, all who are able will move to the Parish Center shortly before the celebration begins, where the palm branches will be blessed and distributed; all will then process to Church. As this occurs, the ushers will distribute blessed palm in Church to those who were unable to participate in the procession. The blessed palm we will receive is a sacramental – a symbol of our Catholic faith. Let it also be a constant reminder of the Redeemer and King who is our Lord and Savior.
