Holy Family Catholic Church

All police officers, firefighters, corrections officers, emergency dispatchers, and EMS personnel are invited to attend Holy Family Catholic Community's Blue Mass at 10:00 am on Sunday, September 11 at Holy Family Church. The Mass will honor all those who serve and protect our community in the public safety field, and pray for their future protection. This Mass is celebrated annually throughout the United States in Catholic Churches for those employed in the public safety field. The color blue relates to the blue-colored uniforms predominately used by these services and were celebrated for the first time in the United States in 1934. Those who attend are encouraged to wear their uniforms and have a flag to representing their agency in the Gathering Space. A reception will follow with refreshments. 

Neighbors in Faith assistants and participants, as well as those interested in volunteering with the program, are invited to our Ice Cream Social on July 14! We will celebrate our current participants as they share their experiences with anyone interested in joining. Attendees will have the opportunity to sign up as well. The night will begin with Mass at 6:00 pm and the social will follow.
