The congregation first met at Brentwood High School and later built its church in 1993. A second construction program built a new wing with a family activity center, classrooms, meeting facilities and a chapel. It was finished earlier this year. The congregation began with 300 families and has grown to about 1,400 families in its first decade. The congregation is involved in Graceworks Ministries, Room in the Inn, Loaves and Fishes and scouting troops, as well as sponsoring an annual Christmas basket program.
Members also participate in mission trips and support Catholic work in Haiti.
Groups have been organized for youth, children, senior citizens, men and women. The mission of Holy Family parish is to be a loving, joy-filled Catholic community of faith, dedicated to the growth of God's Kingdom and the living of the Gospel.
