All baptized members of the Body of Christ are called to celebrate and actively participate in the public worship of the Church that we call liturgy.  Liturgy at Holy Family is celebrated on Saturdays at 4:00 pm and Sundays at 9:15 am.

Some parishoners are called to special ministries that provide services at liturgical celebrations.  They meet to discuss and prepare for liturgical celebrations and provide appropriate ministerial personnel and services. 

If you are interested in any of the ministries listed below, please contact Dr. Corrine Anderson at the Parish Office or Hccand@aol.com.
