Welcome to Holy Family Catholic Church
We strive to worship God and celebrate the presence of Jesus Christ in Word and the Sacraments as one Holy Family. We seek to open our hearts daily to the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit as we endeavor to be a Catholic Church that puts all people in touch with God. We are building a faith community of hope, love and acceptance that nourishes, comforts and embraces.
