Would you like to help Holy Family bring the Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit to the parish? The parish is looking for volunteers to assist with setup, takedown, and during exhibition hours from Friday, May 10-Sunday, May 12.

The exhibition, taking place in Holy Family Hall, is a self-guided tour of 158 Eucharistic miracles collected from 22 countries, prayerfully gathered by Blessed Carlos Acutis before his death in Oct. 2006. All verified and approved by the Catholic Church, this is an amazing opportunity to delve deeper into your faith and witness the True Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. The exhibit will be open from 7:30 am to noon and 5:00 to 8:00 pm on Friday, May 10; 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and 5:00 to 6:30 pm on Saturday, May 11; and 9:00 am to 2:30 pm on Sunday, May 12.

Join Holy Family for “Healing the Whole Person: Engaging Your Story,” an eight-week series that provides the framework for understanding and receiving Christ’s healing and peace in the heart of the Catholic Church. Using videos featuring Dr. Bob Schuchts & Sr. Miriam James Heidland presenting the John Paul II Healing Center’s Healing the Whole Person teachings, each session includes a guided prayer experience and a workbook journaling activity for private reflection and prayer.
