All Are Welcome

Holy Family is "a welcoming Eucharistic community of disciples of Jesus Christ, connecting faith with life and reaching out to those in need." We see our desire to be welcoming as a hallmark of our community.

In an effort to be even more welcoming and continue the good work of those who have come before us, we are conducting a series of assessments of how Holy Family Church and School embody a welcoming community in all we do. This survey is one such assessment.
