Members of Holy Family’s Mary & Martha Chapter of Junior Daughters of the King led a fellowship visit to Brookdale Senior Living Solutions in Castleton. The Junior Daughters were joined by siblings, parents, friends, and members of Holy Family’s Youth group. (To maintain the privacy of residents, only photos of youth are shown.) Holy Family members visited the rooms of residents as well as common areas and handed out flowers to all who wanted them. Special thanks are extended to Brookdale representative Destiny who guided the visitors through the facility. This is a continuing project of Holy Family’s youth that was inspired by an impromptu visit to an assisted living facility during the mission trip of 2017.

On Sunday February 4th, The Reverend Larry Walters recognized the boys and men of Holy Family who are active in the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that falls before February 8 (Scouting Anniversary Day) as Scout Sunday, which is the primary date to recognize the contributions of young people and adults to Scouting.
During the blessing, Father Larry also called forward all people who have participated in scouting or contributed to the advancement of Boy Scouts through volunteering, financial support, and prayers. Nearly every person at the 10 AM service had been impacted by Boy Scouts. Holy Family is the proud charter organization for Troop 199 in Fishers. Questions regarding boy scouting can be directed to Scoutmaster Bryan Spellman via the church office. admin@hfec.org

Christmas Eve
5 PM Children’s Service: We hold an early-evening service for families with young children. Children and youth fill most serving roles including greeters, readers, musicians, and ushers. We also have a special Gospel reading just for children. Come share communion and sing traditional Christmas carols with us to celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is a family-friendly service, no childcare is provided so that our caregivers may worship with their families. However, our nursery room will be open during the service should you need it.
11 PM Midnight Mass: This service includes special music presented by the Holy Family choir, organ music, communion, and candlelight singing of Silent Night. Please note that incense is used at this service. Joy to the World!
Christmas Day
10 AM Service: We gather for a mid-morning service with communion to celebrate the arrival of our newborn King. In recent years our youth have started to wear pajamas to this service, and it has become known as “Jammie Church.” Kids of all ages are invited to wear their cozy pajamas or flannel pants. This is a family-friendly service, no childcare is provided.

The four Houses of Hogwarts, accompanied by their House Prefects and Professors, participated in a search for Gospel passages hidden within Hogwarts. Once the Gospel passages were discovered by each House, House members acted out the passage, in front of all the Houses, in the Great Hall and discussed how that passage was similar to a clip from a Harry Potter movie. House members learned about the compassion and generosity of Jesus and made connections to their own lives. All, from the youngest to the oldest, discovered their call to discipleship is both a covenant with God and an adventure that is never-ending.
