It’s that time of year again to help bring joy to children. Holy Family is teaming up with Cross Catholic Outreach, which is an organization that provides aide to transform the poor and their communities in third world countries. So many children go without a gift for Christmas. We can make their Christmas a little happier by providing them with a “Box of Joy”­—filled with a variety of gifts. The ages of the kids are: Boys & Girls 2-4, 5-9 and 10-14. Anything you buy should be age appropriate and small enough to fit in a shoe box. To make it easier for everyone and to keep track of the boxes, they will be assembled and will be kept in the Parish Office to fill as merchandise is brought in. There will be a container in the Holy Family vestibule where you can drop off items specified on the flyer by Saturday, October 8th or Sunday, October 9th or you can drop items off at the Parish Office at 763 E. Main Street, Little Falls, NY. There will also be envelopes that you can make a monetary donation if you prefer to do that. The boxes will be mail them all together through UPS. If you have questions, please call Debbie Kuehnle at (315) 823-3410. Your participation is greatly appreciated!

Holy Family welcomes all those who are new to the faith, the unbaptized or baptized, those that have not yet been confirmed in the Church, and also those who are simply just searching for God to the RCIA (Rite of Catholic Initiation for Adults) program. Click for more information!

Instructor Colleen Rockwell will teach two class sessions on every other Saturday from September 17 to November 12 at Holy Family Parish, 763 E. Main Street in Little Falls, NY. All ages are welcome to participate and classes are free and open to the public.
