Card Ministry
This ministry sends cards to a list of home bound parishioners each month. Volunteers are usually assigned one specific month of the year or split a month with another volunteer. The parish pays for the cards and postage.
Community Garden
The Holy Family Parish Community Garden is a wonderful way to fulfill our Christian obligation to feed the hungry. Fruits, vegetables, and herbs are planted, tended, and harvested by volunteers and are made available to parishioners after Masses. All excess produce left will be donated to local food pantries so that we may serve the community as a whole.
Cooking Ministries
• Funeral Luncheons
A variety of dishes are needed for the luncheon after a funeral. You will be called as needed.
• Msgr. Terry – Meals
A schedule is organized for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 4:30 – 5:30pm to bring a dinner to the rectory
• Social Events
May we call you to bring a dish for various social events? Parishioners will be called as needed.
Eucharistic Minister to the Homebound
Visit and bring the Eucharist to parishioners confined to their own homes or residents of local nursing homes. (If you are aware of someone who is unable to leave home to attend Mass, please let the parish office know.)
Giving Tree
Experience a deeper meaning of Christmas through the Giving Tree. Helpers prepare tags that give parishioners a choice for purchasing gifts, decorate the tree the week before Thanksgiving, help deliver gifts, and take down the tree.
Knit One, Pray Too
This ministry offers comfort and prayer by knitting and donating prayer shawls and baby blankets to those in need. All ages are invited to knit or learn to knit this easy pattern. We meet at church weekly from Fall into Spring in the morning in a small, welcoming group. This is a great opportunity to not only make prayer shawls but to meet new parishioners, encourage and share with others, and to reach out to our church community and beyond.
Prayer Line
This is a network of people who pray for the needs of the parish and parishioners. Volunteers need no special training, just to trust in the power of prayer. You are free to pray in your own style. Requests for prayers are communicated through the prayer line by phone. No one needs to call more than two others on the prayer line. Calls are made between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm.
Respect Life
Respect Life promotes reverence for human life and creates a culture of life rather than a culture of death in our society. As believing disciples of Jesus we know that all life is God’s gift and life is always in God’s hands.
Welcoming Committee
A welcoming committee member will contact new parishioners to tell them about our parish. Instructions and a welcome plant will be provided to committee members.
