Church of the Holy Family is blessed with the 8% fund to be able to do outreach to support low income families in the community with financial support. The fund is 8% of the total collection from all five of our masses on Saturday and Sunday.
We also have a fund set up by individual donations to "Needs of the Saints". Needs of the Saints is a ministry by which parishioners help parishioners pay a mortgage, rent or car payment due to inability caused by Covid-19. Thank you to all the parishioners who actively give to this ministry!

We will be after masses starting in January asking for your support through gift card and food donations.
