Outreach at Holy Family
A number
of compassionate and talented members of Holy Family have made
significant commitments to organizations that serve the community.
Outreach is an important part of what we do and we continually look for
ways to expand the parish’s involvement in the community. For more
information about Holy Family's Outreach Program, please contact Brenda Farr through the church office.
The
medical clinic in Jasper was created through the hard work of several
Holy Family members. The mission of this not-for-profit health and
wellness center is to provide the medically underserved in our
community with compassionate and individualized free health care and
related services in an atmosphere of respect and dignity. The clinic is
open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

need and serves about 150 families weekly. Volunteers are always needed
for the food pantry reception area.
