WELCOME

to Holy Family Parish!

ABOUT OUR CHURCH

Holy Family is a parish rich in Italian tradition, founded in 1909. We continue both the "Italian" with our weekly Sunday Italian Mass and interaction with Italian Clubs, and the "tradition" especially in the Liturgy, providing both the Tridentine liturgy and the new liturgy in Latin language. Italians love our parish, and very many non-Italians love it and participate as well. The building is outstanding for its art and architecture.

News, Announcements and Upcoming Events

Join us for a cooked breakfast after our Sunday first-of-the-month Tridentine Mass. We invite breakfastees to consider a free-will donation. 

​​​

You may enjoy the splendid musical program at St. Joseph's Shrine (Click here), not far from our parish.

​​​​

Thanks everyone for chipping in to help us repair the bricks, cracks in the wall, and tuck-pointing this summer! The job is completed, and we have painters who will come later to finish the job. We are aware that the garden wall is leaning out; we'll have to take on that project together. May God bless you for your support and generosity! Remember that the best way to help the parish is by being holy!
