Children's Liturgy of the Word Needs You!
We're looking for volunteers to run Children’s Liturgy of the Word at 10:00 AM at Holy Family, 8:30 AM at St. Peter, or 9:00 AM at Sacred Heart.
If you are interested in running Children’s Liturgy at any of these Mass times, please contact Trisha Zimmerman at the Parish Office at (920) 921-0580 ext. 503 or trishaz@hffdl.org.
Join Holy Family at Mass!
While in the busyness of the Advent and Christmas seasons it can be easy to lose sight of its true meaning, coming together at Mass serves as the reminder of why we celebrate: Our Savior, and the gift of His birth. Holy Family Catholic Community invites everyone to join them for Mass not only during this Advent and Christmas season, but throughout the year. Through praising the Lord and recalling His sacrifice as seen in receiving Holy Communion, we are given a sacred gift that enriches our souls, deepens our relationship with God, and builds community with one another. It is a gift we can only receive through Mass.
If you haven’t joined Holy Family or your local parish for Mass in a while, please consider returning if you’re able. Bring your friends and family with you, be they those who live in the area, or are guests at your home this holiday season. All are welcome!
To view the Holy Family Catholic Community Mass schedule, please visit hffdl.org/mass. If you do not attend Holy Family, you can find Mass times for your local parish in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee at https://www.archmil.org/Parishes/Find-A-Mass.htm.
We hope that you will take us up on this offer and that we will see you at Mass! It is well worth it!
