Community outreach

After many years of continued dedication to Holy Family Parish and the Kid’s Clothing Closet, Kathi Morris has decided to retire from the Kid’s Clothing Closet so she can spend more time with her family. The Priests and Parishioners of Holy Family Parish thank Kathi for her service to the SOS Ministry. 

 

While it will be impossible to fill Kathi’s shoes, our Community Outreach, which includes the Kid’s Clothing Closet and SOS, will continue under new leadership. We are currently in the process of reorganizing our leadership and are asking for parishioners to volunteer in our Community Outreach Program. Please contact the Parish Office if you would be willing to help!

 

Thank you for your patience as we reorganize and thank you again to Kathi for her many years of dedication to our Parish and community!
