Security at Holy Family
Security at Holy Family Church
During Mass and events the doors are to remain locked. People can come 10 minutes late and still enter but after this the doors are locked by the ushers. THE DOORS ARE NOT TO BE PROPPED OPEN at any time before, during or after Mass or events.
You are able to exit the doors from the inside, no one is “locked in.”
We have applied for a grant to cover the windows in the narthex with bullet resistant film and the church windows will follow.
These and other precautions are to keep all of us safe. Please follow these simple rules for the sake of all.

Parish Cookbook
Ladies and Men of Holy Family Parish - We are getting close to printing the cookbook.
If you have cherished Family recipes and have not submitted them, we would love to have them in Our Holy Family Parish Cookbook.
There is a box in the Narthex to place them in.
We have not done a Cookbook since 1980. I have had many of your delicious recipes at Our Potlucks, Funeral dinners and Events.
Please! Share and don't forget to put who the recipe is from. Many Thanks and Prayers!
For more information contact Victoria Stringer or Linda Paridon.

Please Take Note - Parking During Mass
Dear Holy Family,
Please do not park in a handicapped space if you do not have a placard or a state-issued handicapped license plate.
Not only is this illegal it is also inconsiderate of those who need the spaces.
Please do not park in rectory driveway. This is not a parking space and causes issues that will not be tolerated.
Law enforcement will be patrolling the parking lot during Mass and you will be ticketed if you do not have a visible placard, sticker or driver's license plate.
Ticketing will begin next weekend.
Thank you,
Fr. Phil
