The Pastoral Council is a group of people who together represent the entire parish and who plan and guide its growth. They are chosen by the parish to join with the parish priest in long-range planning, the setting of parish priorities, and the implementation of programs.

The Parish Finance Committee functions as a consultative body to the parish priest.  It consists of selected professionals to advise the parish priest in these areas:

• Preparation of the annual operating budget.

• Long-term financial planning.

The Council ensures that an adequate system of internal controls is in place to guide the parish in caring for and managing financial resources.

​Catechism sessions are open to all children who attend Holy Family Catholic Church.

​​The success of the Children’s Catechism in Holy Family is due to our committed team of parish Catechists who give their time freely each Sunday to work with the children.

​Once the children have started schooling, they are welcome to join with the Holy Family catechism sessions which run at mass every Sunday during school term time.  At these sessions they begin to look at their faith in a more formal way in small groups with children of a similar age. Catechists help the children to grow in their awareness of God and knowledge of the Catholic faith. The children also get involved in all sorts of parish activities to help them realise that they too are part of the Church.

The Holy Family 250 Club is a fun way of raising much needed funds for the Church, while also giving members the chance to win cash prizes every month.

The 250 Club is so called because originally there were originally 250 members helping to raise funds for the church through the club.  All are welcome to join – the more members we have the more money is raised for the Church.

The Cash Counting Group is a team of volunteer parishioners who help the church count the monies donated to the church on the collection plate and other means.

​Strengthening family life through friendship and faith.

The Catenians of Holy Family Catholic Chuirch are committed to their Faith, their families, to those in need and to each other.
