Holy Family Catholic Community Easter Triduum & Easter Sunday Schedule
Holy Week is upon us! Make your plans to attend Mass on Easter Sunday and this week by taking a look at Holy Family Catholic Community’s Easter Triduum and Easter Sunday Schedule below.
Holy Week Office Closures
In observance of Good Friday, the Holy Family Catholic Community Parish Office will not be open on Friday, April 7th. The office will reopen on Monday, April 10th.
Holy Family Easter Egg Hunt!
All kids are invited to Holy Family Catholic Community’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt following the 10:00 A.M. Mass at Holy Family Church this Sunday! The parish will have hundreds of eggs in its Prayer Garden for children to hunt for, and in the event of inclement weather, the hunt will take place in Holy Family Hall.
Children are welcome to bring their own baskets, but bags will be provided.
An Easter Gift from Holy Family
Holy Family will be giving away bottles of Holy Water and prayer cards as Easter gifts to those who attend Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday Masses. They will be available on a first come-first served basis and we ask that you only take one per family.
Adorers Needed at Sacred Heart Adoration Chapel
No Cor Jesu in April
Due to the timing of Holy Week this year, Holy Family Catholic Community’s Cor Jesu will not take place in the month of April. It will return to its usual schedule on Thursday, May 4th at Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church.
Join Holy Family's "Neighbors in Faith" Program!
As warmer weather approaches, you may be in need of assistance with (or eager to help someone with!) yardwork, spring cleaning, running errands, minor repairs or jobs, and other tasks. Maybe you're just looking for companionship. If you could benefit from assistance or from sharing your assistance, please consider connecting with Holy Family’s Neighbors in Faith Program.

Earth Day Fair
The Earth Day Fair returns to Founder’s Hall at the motherhouse of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes (CSA) at 320 County Rd K in Fond du Lac. On Saturday, April 22nd from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., you are invited to interact with Earth-focused exhibitors and participate in various planned activities. Full event details are available at https://www.csasisters.org/news-events/earth-fair.cfm
As part of the event, from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M., we will host a screening of "The Letter," a documentary about how spiritual values unite us in the face of a planetary emergency. "The Letter" builds on the teaching of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’s encyclical on care for our common home, which itself stands on the catechism of the Catholic Church and teachings from popes over the last five decades. This film screening will include prayer, conversation, and a decision about how we will take action together.

Holy Family Children’s Choir rehearsals take place each Thursday and lead the music at one Sunday Mass per month in March and April.
