Are you struggling with grief? Holy Family will host “Grief Share,” a 13-week support group and seminar designed to help people rebuild their lives after loss. The group will meet Mondays, beginning January 15 from 4:00 to 5:30 pm in the Holy Family Board Room. Those interested in joining the group must register, but can join the program after the start date. To sign up or for any questions, please email Mary Denzin at mdenzin@hffdl.org.
The Holy Family Quilters meet every Tuesday morning from 8:00 to 10:00 am in the St. Mary's Church basement. All the quilts that we make go to the less fortunate people in the area. We also make lap quilts for the area nursing homes. We can use small pieces or yardage of new material to make the tops and clean blankets and mattress pads, also any sewing items. These items can be dropped off at the church office, or call Dorothy, 921-5543, or Catherine, 539-0313 for pick up.
Celebrate Fat Tuesday, February 13, by stopping by Dairy Queen at 635 W. Johnson St. that day. Proceeds from purchases that day will benefit the Holy Family Warming Shelter, which serves those experiencing homelessness in the area every night through the end of April. The restaurant is open from 10:00 am and 9:00 pm, so pick up lunch, dinner, or a sweet treat, like a Blizzard or Dilly Bar!
All mom's and children are invited to join the Moms Group! Meeting on Thursdays from 9:30 to 10:30 am in Holy Family Hall, the Moms Group is an informal gathering where moms can enjoy fellowship and children can play together.
