MISSION

Fourth Sunday of Advent December 20, 2015 O LORD of hosts,

look down from heaven and see; take care of this vine,

and protect what your right hand has planted.

-- Psalm 80:15-16

Mission Statement: Holy Family Catholic Church, united with the Bishop of St. Augustine, dedicates itself to the

teachings of Christ. We, as family, work to spread the Good News within our communities and into the world by using our gifts of time, talents and treasures. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we celebrate the Sacraments and

our faith by serving God and the needs of His people by showing His love in all that we do.
