“We, the Holy Family Parish for over 130 years, have endeavored to uphold the teachings of Christ through the celebration of the Eucharist, outreach, and reflection of the Gospel. Our faith family strives to share the message of Jesus everyday.”
Using your time and talent (no skill required), we’ll save the parish’s treasure for other expenditures by making our own Altar Candles from past Easter Candles and liturgical candles that are too small to be used during Mass. Let’s be good stewards to the gifts God gave us and the resources already available for reuse. Limit of six participants per session, participants under 18 must be chaperoned. Sign up is required, please email Susan Doepker at sedoepker@gmail.com
The dinner & celebration had nearly 150 attendees with many that were from outside the Parish that had personal history with Holy Family. They all seemed to enjoy being back at Holy Family. All but 30 of the Holy Family wine glasses to commemorate the Centennial were sold raising nearly $400 to our building fund! (we could have sold them all, but we held back 30 glasses for our Shut in Parishioners). We served roughly 125 pounds of chicken, 25 pounds of ham, 40+ crock pots of food and countless desserts on Wednesday night. Nothing went to waste! We celebrated two special anniversary milestones at our dinner event: The 35th wedding anniversary of Gil & Rose Urban and the 9th wedding anniversary of Deone & Marissa DeLaCruze. Their shared anniversaries actually were the same day as our dinner celebration! 5 committees with over 60 people volunteered to make this event successful. Thank you to all volunteers who served in any way during the 3 days of events. We had 3 Holy Family priests in attendance at our dinner event (Fr. Ronald Wagner, Fr. Adam Maher, and Fr. Christopher Coman).
Mass & Adoration with Confession available had nearly 90 attendees with a beautiful reverent mass with divine choral & instrumental music before Mass, during Mass, and during adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Thank you to all who volunteered their time and talents that evening including 14 altar servers who served at the Holy Mass.
The history night had nearly 100 attendees of various ages. The tours & stations were very informative & fun too. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and to Tom Trombley of the Castle Museum for his presentation.
Thank you to Father Adam Maher, Father Craig Carlon, and Father Thai Nguyen for offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass & Confessions. Thank you Pierce Tyndall for your music ministry and to all who volunteered in any way, AVE MARIA!
