- The parish sent out a letter last week, to Holy Family’s One Heart One Soul donors to update them on the planned use of those funds, for maintenance and upkeep projects since we are unable to go ahead with the proposed addition. The purpose of the letter is to inform the One Heart One Soul donors and seek their support in the use of the said funds. Please contact the parish office, if you were a One Heart, One Soul donor and did not receive that letter or if you have questions or concerns.
