Holy Family and St. Irene Parishes are starting a Young Families Ministry (YFM) and you are invited to join! This is for newly married couples up to families with elementary school aged kid(s). This is more than just a group; it is a holistic platform to spread the love and comfort of Jesus and to provide for the young families of our parishes. Not only will we have our own activities and events, we will also hook you up with other relevant ministries and offerings in the parishes. This is all about connecting with God and with each other. Below is just a small sampling of items. We actually have a 7-page Master Plan full of great ideas! Here are a few of them.

- Know a young family you would like to invite? Invite them to anything and everything!
You may say: This sounds great…but COVID is going on, life is crazy, and everything is closed; so how are we supposed to do anything? Like Jesus does for us, we meet you where you are, and where the state of the world is. What we would like to do as a start is make a roster of who is interested. Then come February, we will have a Zoom meeting, and maybe a virtual event. We will let this whole idea of young families ministry grow organically and let you be the ones who guide it. Involvement is completely flexible, there are no commitments, requirements, or anything like that. Feel free to participate as much or as little as you like.
