The Living Tree
Holy Family Parish is much like a living tree. Jesus is the trunk and we are the branches. The roots of the tree are firmly planted in the living soil of the Gospel. The Living Tree in the narthex testifies to the wonderful achievements of lives and faith. It is a living history of our parish community. For more information and order forms, check out the book rack in the narthex.

REVISED CEMETERY REGULATIONS
Rules pertaining to all of the parish cemeteries can be viewed under the Holy Family link of the website directory.
Cemetary Courtesies
-
We ask that ALL ground level artificial decorations be removed by April 1 and be taken home for storage or disposal as we no longer offer refuse removal.
-
Please do not use the dirt bin for disposal as it contaminates the topsoil.
-
Artificial decorations may be placed year-round on the monuments.
-
Live planted flowers are fine and add beauty of the grounds. Flowers will be removed when overtaken by weeds.
-
Again, we could use any assistance as we are getting older and fewer in numbers. Thank You.
