Baptism:

Holy Family Welcomes You to the Waters of Baptism! The Catholic Church has always seen the Sacrament of Baptism as its method of initiation from the moment of Jesus’ Great Commission, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” (Matthew 28:19). For more information on how to prepare to baptize your child, please contact Deacon Mike Holmes.

Families wishing to give a donation towards the weekly floral arrangement on the altar may do so in memory of or in celebration of a birthday or anniversary. The minimum suggested donation is $45. Names will be published in the bulletin. Call the Parish Office 904-641-5838.
