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.
