Parish News & Announcements

While Masses are suspended, we will not be publishing a traditional bulletin. Please share this information with those who may not follow us online. You can also sign up for our weekly email here to get this content directly in your inbox.


Like and follow us on Facebook to be notified when we go live. We will begin the stream 5 minutes before the scheduled time so you pray in silence before we begin.

Join us on Facebook Live for a Divine Mercy Chaplet on April 19 at 3pm. Fr. Gries will begin with Eucharistic Exposition, pray the Chaplet and a Perfect Act of Contrition, and close with Benediction.

Divine Mercy Sunday was established by St. John Paul II in 2000 when St. Faustina was canonized. Learn why this feast is important.


St. Vincent de Paul Delivers Easter Baskets

Making protecting our volunteers a priority, we donned gloves and masks (made and donated by an anonymous parishioner) and used great social distancing practices to load boxes of food and hams this last Saturday for 34 families in Floyd County that were in desperate need of food; not for an Easter feast but for survival. Neighbor after neighbor thanked the delivery coordinator Ruth Kaiser and the delivery drivers for this timely donation. A special thanks again to Holy Family school alumni Sophia Abell and her family for 50 beautiful easter baskets and an anonymous donor for large chocolate bunnies to help the youth celebrate Christianity's most precious feast. Again thank you for your prayers and donations and for our delivery volunteers.


Returning CRS Rice Bowls

Given the necessary COVID-19 containment measures, we will not be collecting the physical Rice Bowls this year. You may return your gift directly to CRS online, by phone, or by mail. Or, mail a check to Holy Family marked Rice Bowl. Please have all donations turned in by April 29. Click here for full instructions.


All 6th-8th graders are invited to a virtual Bible study with our youth minister, Abbi Hamm, each Monday at 6pm!

Eternal Rest grant unto Bill, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.

Amen.
