Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am deeply grateful for your continued generosity and love for our parish. Your weekly offertory is not simply a financial contribution - it is an act of faith, a participation in the mission of the Church, and a concrete way you help us proclaim the Gospel and serve those in need.

As our parish continues to grow and respond to the needs of our community, our expenses have also increased. Rising costs for utilities, maintenance, insurance, staff support, and ministry resources affect us just as they do every household. To remain faithful stewards of our mission and to plan responsibly for the future, I am asking you to prayerfully consider increasing your weekly offertory, if you are able.

This invitation is not about equal giving, but about equal sacrifice. Even a small increase, when offered by many, can make a meaningful difference. Your generosity allows our parish to remain a place of vibrant worship, strong sacramental life, faith formation for our children and adults, and compassionate outreach to those most in need.

Please take time to pray about this request and ask the Lord how He may be calling you to support His Church. Above all, know that your presence, prayers, and commitment to our parish family are deeply valued.

Thank you for your faith, your generosity, and your love for our parish. May God bless you and your families abundantly.

In Christ,

Fr. Joe

OCIA

Our parish catechumens and candidates were sent to our diocesan cathedral on Sunday, February 22, to meet Bishop Tylka and to be accepted for Baptism, Profession of Faith in the Catholic Church, and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil. They are pictured here with their godparents and sponsors. The picture was taken this Sunday after the Rite of Sending at Holy Family’s 10 a.m. Mass.

We are a blessed community of faith. Continue to pray for each of our catechumens and candidates as they continue their journey of faith.

Front row left: Cody Mundy (Candidate for Profession of Faith), Jade Adams (Catechumen), Nicholas Everson (Catechumen), Jennifer Cunningham (Catechumen), Andrew Cunningham (Candidate for Confirmation.

Back row left: Michele Vermeire, Jordan Mundy (sponsors for Cody), John Hoblit (Sponsor for Jade),  Alex Hoblit (godparent for Jade), Lauren Everson (godparent for Nick), Maggie Knollenberg (godparent for Jennifer), Mike Cunningham (sponsor for Andrew).

And here we are at the Cathedral for the Rite of Election with Bishop Tylka. A moving experience of Church, belonging and acceptance!

A library has been established at Holy Family Church! It is near the front entrance where the old baptistry and confessional were located. The room is still usable for confessions during COmmunal Reconciliation services. We are grateful to April Jensen who volunteered her library science skills to catalog and organize the books and media resources. Thank you, April!
