Welcome to Holy Family
They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers. Acts 2:42
Those who with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and freely responded to it are urged on by the love of Christ to proclaim the Good News everywhere in the world. . . . All Christ's faithful are called to hand it on . . . by professing the faith, by living it in fraternal sharing, and by celebrating it in liturgy and prayer. Catechism of the Catholic Church 3

- Core Values of Holy Family Parish
- Renewed Mission Statement
- Long term and short term goals
The pastoral council is currently working on the following projects:
- Improving the Holy Family Church website
- The opening of the Sunday office hours for our parishioner's convenience
- Reviewing the parish facilities usage and finding solutions to improve the parish calendar to avoid conflicts
- Improving the parish parking lot flow.
Your ideas and suggestions are welcome and helpful. They may be directed to Fr. Creedon, Kinter Bernard, or Runia Brokamp.

My brother Dr. Con Don Creedon died at the age of 68 on January 5, 2011 of throat cancer. It was a blessed relief from pain but a sore loss for my family. I had gone to Ireland for a cousin's wedding and was able to accompany him with his wife and family in his last week of life. I had the privilege of praying with them as he drew his last breath.We prayed the prayer of Jesus "Father into your hands I commend my spirit".
I want to express my appreciation to the people of Holy Family for your support and prayer during his illness and in this time of loss. I want to share my notes from the Funeral Mass to give some sense of our loss and his spirit. Read my homily. May the faith in Christ Risen which we share comfort all of our families in our times of grief.
