Holy Family Parish and St. Joseph Church are looking into the possibility of offering a weekly Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

To learn more, please join us for brunch on Saturday, March 22nd, at 11:30 a.m. in the Parish Gym. Fr. Slezak will speak to the group about the importance of this apostolate. If you are willing to commit to adoration as a regular adorer/substitute or want to learn more about Eucharistic Adoration, please inform the Parish Office of your intention to attend the brunch by March 15th.
