Holy Family clothe us with mercy... ...for the peacefulness it brings beyond malice.

Holy Family clothe us with kindness... ...for the warmth it brings beyond stubbornness.

Let us pray,
Holy Family of Nazareth, listen to the prayerful hearts of the People of God of Holy Family Parish. Do not dismiss us until we have spiritually matured into a people who reveal to others the light of Jesus Christ, as the glory of all nations. We pray in his name, the only begotten son of God who teaches us how to grow in strength, wisdom and grace as a family of faith. Amen.
