Our Mission

 Holy Family Parish of Nazareth is a Christ centered sacramental family modeled after the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. We are dedicated to growing our faith, spreading the Gospel in our community, preserving our rich traditions while looking to the future and living

 as disciples of Jesus Christ. 

Happy Easter!

This Easter, I pray that you feel the transforming power of Christ's love in a deep and personal way. Let us not just celebrate today but live as "Easter people" throughout the year—sharing this joy with a broken world and lifting each other up in faith. Let us continue to be a Christ-centered sacramental family, modeled after the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, dedicated to growing in our faith, spreading the Gospel in our community, preserving our rich traditions while looking to the future and living as
disciples of Jesus Christ.

May our resurrected Lord bless you this day and all the days of your lives!

 

Sincerely yours in Christ
Rev. Jason F. Stokes

Holy Family Memorial Fund

One of the most important things we can do as Catholics is to pray for our loved ones who have died. We do this at Mass with the Mass intention. However, as we continue to have more requests than mass times available, we are not able to offer masses for everyone as we would like. The Memorial Fund is a good opportunity to help with this situation.

Thank You!

Each year we get a new Paschal candle which is the large, decorated candle you see in the Sanctuary. The Paschal candle is blessed at the Easter Vigil, symbolizing the risen Christ as the "Light of the World" who triumphs over darkness and death. Lit during the 50 days of Easter, it also appears at baptisms and funerals to represent new life and the resurrection.

We would like to thank The Soporowski  Family for sponsoring this year’s Paschal candle. We appreciate it!
