I have always been an advocate of maintaining some of the Lenten practices in our lives going forward. The small disciplines, the self-restraint, the conscious charity, etc. should become a part of us. Habits, once ingrained in us, do not need to be remembered. Things that were once hard for us, requiring much thought and effort, can become light and easy with God’s grace.

Holy Family Parish & St. Joseph’s Church will bring back a lost but cherished tradition; the blessing of the Easter Baskets. Father Slezak will bless the baskets on Easter Sunday after each Mass on April 9th.

Holy Family Parish and St. Joseph Church will be offering a Lenten educational series this year entitled: “Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist.” Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the “source and summit” of the Christian life. This program explores the truth and beauty of Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture to its profound role in the life of the Church and its members.

Holy Family Parish is blessed to have such beautiful, historic, and one-of-a-kind stained-glass windows in our church. Author Louis Baum spent countless hours over several years researching and writing a book describing the story of each window. Both Louis and Jean Ronan (who assisted in the project) have graciously donated all their time and efforts to complete this book project. The book will be available at all Masses to view this weekend (Feb 18th-19th) and next weekend (Feb 25th-26th). Now that the book has been completed, the parish is offering it for purchase for only $20 each (to cover cost). Upon receiving your prepayment, we will order the books. Order forms are available in church or by calling/visiting the Parish Office. Please enclose payment with your order. Order soon! (We plan to place the first book order on March 6th.) Upon arrival of the books, we will notify you.
