Holy Family Parish was organized on September 4, 1957 as a result of a decision by then Jackson Diocese Bishop Richard Gerow.  The Northeast Jackson area was experiencing a population boom, and while the area was growing, the nearest Catholic Church (St. Richard's) was several miles away.  Father (now Monsignor) Michael Glynn was appointed to lead the new parish which originally consisted of young, White, middle class families.  Many of these families had previously attended the much larger St. Richard's Parish.

The Parish's initial construction, a chapel to seat 375 and two classrooms, was dedicated by Bishop Gerow and Bishop Joseph Brunini in January, 1959.  During this period, the decision was made to form a school, known as Holy Family Catholic School.  By 1963, four additional classrooms, a cafeteria, a convent and the rectory were built and dedicated.

The years that followed provided periods of joy and pain.  The number of families in the parish ebbed and flowed, influenced partially by populations shifts in Metro Jackson.  These shifts resulted in declining attendance at the school, which was closed in the late 1980's.  However, in the late 1990's, plans were formulated to move into a more traditional church structure.  On October 6, 2002, Holy Family parishoners gathered in celebration as a new church was built and blessed by the Bishop of the Jackson (Ms) Diocese, William Houck.  Thanks to fundraising efforts and a generous benefactor, the mortgage on the new church was paid off early.  A note burning ceremony took place on December 11, 2005.

In keeping with the advances of the 21st century, Holy Family has broadened its community presence to focus on Liturgical ministry, Faith Formation, involvement with Catholic Charities and Outreach/Evangelization efforts.  These efforts include Stewpot, Prison Ministries and an Internet website (www.holyfamilyccjackson.org).

Although the times may have caused its membership to lessen, Holy Family remains steadfast in its commitment to serve God, and the spiritual needs of its populace.
