Community Garden in the News

Garden article photo
The Holy Family Community Garden was featured in the August 25th issue of the Fishers Current newspaper. Providing fresh produce to the Come to Me Food Pantry at Fishers United Methodist Church is what first spurned the garden’s creation. The  garden first welcomed area gardeners in 2011 and has expanded nearly every year since. You may view the article by clicking HERE.

Feast of St. Mary

Homily
On Sunday, August 16th, we celebrated the feast of St. Mary, Mother of Jesus.  The feast day is held on August 15th but was transferred to the closest Sunday. Father Steve used a variety of classical paintings as slides during his homily.
Mary icon
This icon was also on display on the altar. Our hymns and prelude paid homage to the mother of Our Savior.
Lillies
Our altar flowers featured the lily, a symbol of virginity and purity.
Musicians
Holy Family also welcomed guest musicians Brenda and Ron Iacocca. Brenda sang “Ave Maria” while Ron accompanied on the organ.

Holy Family Mission Trip Team 2015 – Philadelphia, PA
This year’s Mission Trip Team gathered this morning at sunrise to load up vans to travel to Philadelphia, PA for a week of service. Deacon Cathy Scott prayed with the team and family members.
Prayers
We pray to you, Lord, who made Your home with the outcast and the poor. Help us be Your hands and feet as we seek to serve in Your name. Give us the wisdom to understand the needs and stories of others. Help us always realize that our Holy Family extends beyond our walls and, sometimes, beyond our own comfort level. Open our hearts to love, our arms to embrace, and our eyes to see the Kingdom of God in our midst. Amen.
