As priest, pastor and shepherd of Holy Family Parish, and on behalf of this faith community, may I extend a warm welcome to those who are spiritually searching for a place in God's vineyard! Perhaps the scripture passage, Jeremiah 29:11-14, will offer you an encouraging word. Look it up. Stop by for mass some weekend, we will leave the sanctuary lamp on for you!
- Fr. Philip M. Egan

A Year of St. Joseph
In December, Pope Francis released a new Apostolic Letter “Patris Corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”) recalling the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. The Holy Father also proclaimed a “Year of St. Joseph” from December 8, 2020, to December 2021.
Holy Family is excited to spend the coming months celebrating St. Joseph as part of the patronage of our parish, growing in our understanding of this great saint, and living our faith under the example of St. Joseph’s virtues.
Check out the Year of St. Joseph page weekly for St. Joseph prayers, quotes from saints on St. Joseph, monthly themes based on the virtues of St. Joseph, and exploring St. Joseph through sacred art.
There will also be various events throughout the year including a study of Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter, St. Joseph Feast Day activities, parish Clean-Up Day on the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, and much more. Stay tuned! St. Joseph, Pray for Us!
Prepare for the Spirit!

During this Easter season, we anxiously await the advocate Christ promised to send...The Holy Spirit! One way to prepare is to understand the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of Catholics. The Holy Spirit prompts us to fulfill Christ’s calling in our lives.
