Food will be distributed from 12 to 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25th at Holy Family Church. Delivery will also be available, beginning at noon that day. People must reserve their meals by Monday, November 16th by calling the Parish Office at (920) 921-0580. To help in this effort, the parish is looking for volunteers to assist in various roles. Monetary donations are also being accepted. For more information, call the Parish Office.


Advent Giving Tree – Drop Gift off by December 6th

The time has come for Holy Family’s Advent Giving Tree! Starting this weekend, parishioners can choose a tag off the Holy Family Advent Giving Tree and buy a gift for a child. Each tag represents one of 560 Fond du Lac County children who are in need this season. Are you homebound and unable to pick up a toy for the Advent Giving Tree? Contact the Holy Family Parish Office and have a staff member pick a tag for you. You then can order the toy online and have it sent directly to Holy Family, 271 Fourth Street Way. All gifts for the Advent Giving Tree must be brought to the Holy Family sites from which the tag is taken by Sunday, December 6.
