My Dear Family and Friends of Holy Family,
I continue to pray for each of you and your families. Please continue to take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Continue to wear your mask and maintain distance from others. If you have not been able to return please continue to watch Mass from home. Pray more often. Pray the rosary. Invite Jesus, Mary and Joseph to pray for you and continue the Holy Family Prayer at home with your family. Let us also pray for those that are sick and there families. Say a rosary for them. I have missed you all so very much. We thank you all for your prayers and your constant support through this time. This is not an easy time for all of us and that it is even more important that we be united in prayer and in doing our part to keep each other safe and healthy. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph pray for us.

Please Pray for a successful campaign!
Things the CDC recommends to consider during the pandemic:
Consider limiting attendance at funerals held shortly after the time of death to a small number of immediate family members.
Take necessary precautions when planning and holding funeral services and visitations to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among all those in attendance. Those who have been exposed should be quarantined.
Practice social distancing while making funeral arrangements
If you are faced with a loss of a loved one during this pandemic please contact the funeral home of your choice by phone first to see how they can assist you. The funeral home will then make contact with the church after they have spoken to the family. The church staff will then contact the designated family member over the phone to discuss the funeral mass.
Holy Family Parish cares about you and your family. We hope that the information provided is helpful. We need to all work together to help slow and stop the spread of the virus. Our prayers are with you and your families. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us all.
Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Un Acto de Comunión Espiritual
Mi amado Jesús, creo que Tú estas presente
en el Santísimo Sacramento.
Te amo sobre todas las cosas, y deseo recibirte en mi alma.
Ya que no puedo, en este momento, recibirte sacramentalmente, ven al menos, espiritualmente a mi corazón.
Te abrazo como si Tú estuvieras ya ahí y me uno a mí mismo completamente a Ti.
Nunca me permitas estar separado de Ti. Amén.
