Community Ministries
Holy Family Young Adults is a group of young adults in our 20’s and 30’s whose mission is to know and love Jesus Christ, to follow him as disciples, and to build up his Catholic Church, which is the family of God. We do this by worshiping and praying together, growing in genuine friendships with one another, serving our community together, increasing our knowledge of our Catholic faith, and evangelizing others by personally inviting them to lead lives transformed by the joy of the Gospel. For more information, visit the Young Adults page, or contact Cathleen Ito at cathleeni@hfkparish.org.
Forever Young gather together from all walks of life (grandparents, singles, couples, widowed) to connect seniors for spirited fun socializing, day trips and tours, ministry to the parish, sharing of traditions, and creating connections to God among family members. For more information, contact Jodi Ruhl at jodir@outlook.com.
Holy Family Café Ministers help create an environment of warmth, welcome and friendship every Sunday. The Café is a great place for people to share their faith and fellowship.
