Holy Family will welcome Michael James Mette for a free worship concert at Holy Family Church. Due to the Packer game, the concert will now take place from 3:30 to 5:00 pm. Mette’s music stands at the intersection of the church and culture, drawing from pop and worship influences. He previously performed at Holy Family Church with his children as part of the band MJM7. All are welcome. Free-will donations will be accepted

All volunteers, from any Holy Family parish site, are invited to come to Holy Family’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Packer Party on Sunday, November 17 in the Holy Family Hall following the 10:00 am Mass. If you volunteer in any capacity at the parish, be it as an Usher, Choir Member, Catechist, or with lawn care, Human Concerns, or bringing Communion to the homebound, we want to celebrate you and your family! There will be a main dish, snacks, and soda available and the Packer versus Bears Game playing on the large wall screen in the hall. Door prizes will be drawn at half-time. Come for the fun and encourage other volunteers to join you!

Please RSVP by calling (920) 921-0580 ext. 101 by November 14.
