Attention all Holy Family Catholic Community Eucharistic Ministers and Ushers: Holy Family will be transitioning to using Ministry Scheduler Pro, or MSP, program for scheduling Eucharistic Ministers and Ushers at churches with the exception of Our Risen Savior. To begin utilizing this program, the parish asks that you complete a form to register and begin learning to use this program if you are not already doing so. The form is available by visiting hffdl.org/ministers or utilizing the QR code at our churches. Please fill out the form by April 15. For any questions, please contact Valerie Collien at (920) 921-0580 ext. 302.

On Tuesday, April 7, learn about the impact of addiction, the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding it, and the resources available to those battling it from FDL County Drug Court Coordinator Jennifer Laning, CSAC, Gratitude Club Manager Ellen Buretta, and others who work with those suffering from the disease. Taking place in Holy Family Hall at 6:30 pm, the presentation will also include a talk from a parish family who lost a loved one to addiction. All are encouraged to attend.

Holy Family welcomes all to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday at Holy Family Church from 2:00 to 4:00 pm on Sunday, April 12. On Divine Mercy Sunday, Jesus promised us that: “the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the Fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. … Let no soul fear to draw near to Me.” Join Holy Family as they honor this special day with prayer and reflection.

While Mass will not be celebrated, Confession will be offered from 2:00 to 3:30 pm, Silent Adoration from 2:00 to 3:00 pm, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet from 3:00 to 4:00 pm followed by Benediction. In order to reduce long lines, prayerfully consider going to Reconciliation 20 days before or after the Feast Day. If you attended 12 Hours of Reconciliation, your Confession made that day is within this timeframe.

The Holy Family Widows Group will plant pansies at Haentze’s on Tuesday, April 14 at 2:00 pm for $15 to pay that day. After planting, the group will go to Bob’s Pizza for lunch/dinner for those who are interested.
