Thank you to our musical director Pierce Tyndall alongside our musicians both vocal and instrumental who shared their talents of music with our parish & community. Thank you to all volunteers who ensured all were welcomed both inside the church & outside of the building.

It’s that time of the year again and we must remove form the yard what mother nature has left for us! We need to rake leaves, pick up all debris and clear the flower beds! Please consider volunteering, even if you can only participate for a few hours. There is a sign up sheet in the North Entrance. Please call the office if you have any questions at 989-755-8020

Starting the weekend of October 18 & 19 there will be a bin in the north entrance to donate candy and prizes (such as saint/holy stickers, holy cards, small saint/holy toys, etc.) for prizes for the games for the children. Please donate by October 30 as that is the date of the party.

Thank you for your generosity for the children!

We were blessed to have a relic of the True Cross available for veneration. “For by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world”

Also, many of our home-schooled children and families gathered as part of our Friday noon Mass recently with some activities after. “Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them…”

Holy Family is asking for your help in the startup of the new parish library and bookstore! We are looking for bookshelves for the St. John Vianney Library, which will be located in the parish basement, and funds for the St. Francis DeSales bookshop, located in a lower room. Contact the St. Francis de Sales Books & More Committee at st.francisdesalesbooksandmore@gmail.com if you have physical donations or wish to contribute monetarily
