ABOUT OUR CHURCH

Holy Family is a parish rich in Italian tradition, founded in 1909. We continue both the "Italian" with our weekly Sunday Italian Mass and interaction with Italian Clubs, and the "tradition" especially in the Liturgy, providing both the Tridentine liturgy and the new liturgy in Latin language. Italians love our parish, and very many non-Italians love it and participate as well. The building is outstanding for its art and architecture.

News, Announcements and Upcoming Events

Join us for a cooked breakfast after our Sunday first-of-the-month Tridentine Mass. We invite breakfastees to consider a free-will donation.

​Note: 

   +  9:30am Sunday Latin Masses will be in the manner of the Tridentine Mass (sometimes called TLM, that is, using the 1962 Missal, with preaching in English)

   + Italian Masses, when they come from the various Italian Societies, Clubs, and so on, are all the Paul VI Missal and Lectionary in Italian, but the preaching is mostly in English
