This weekend, our parish will begin participating in the Annual Diocesan Appeal (ADA) for the Diocese of Peoria. As the diocese celebrates its 150th anniversary, we are reminded of our mission as Christians. We are called to proclaim the Gospel yesterday, today, and forever. The Annual Diocesan Appeal gives us an opportunity to respond by sharing our gifts which will enable and equip the Church for today’s opportunities and challenges in witnessing to our faith. There are many ministries and apostolates that the Diocese can offer that we as a single parish cannot. Recruitment and training of priests, vocation discernment program for young men, marriage preparation, ministry to our students on college campuses, evangelization, Catholic Charities programs, these are just a few of the many services we receive from the Diocese of Peoria. Your support, in prayer and through your sacrificial gift to the Annual Diocesan Appeal, makes it possible to provide these services. Please prayerfully consider making a pledge to this year’s appeal ~ cdop.org/ada

A library has been established at Holy Family Church! It is near the front entrance where the old baptistry and confessional were located. The room is still usable for confessions during COmmunal Reconciliation services. We are grateful to April Jensen who volunteered her library science skills to catalog and organize the books and media resources. Thank you, April!

Here is a list of all the books and DVDs April compiled https://bit.ly/HFLibrary.

The library will be open whenever the church is open. Please help yourself to books or DVDs and when finished, return them to the bin marked: Book Return. We will reshelve them. Enjoy finding a spiritual/religious book or DVD.

Religious book donations may be dropped off at the church rectory.
