Holy Family held its annual Gospel at Hogwarts event on November 6, 2021. This year the scripture and activities were based on the fourth book and movie in the Harry Potter series called “The Goblet of Fire.” At Holy Family, students were sorted into three schools based on the elements of fire, water, and earth. The activities and scripture used throughout the evening, escape-room-style, also followed that theme. Students were challenged to solve puzzles and work together through many tasks including facing a dragon! At the end of the evening, all guests enjoyed Yule Ball refreshments and music in the parish hall. A special dance presentation and waltz lessons were provided by professional dancers. The final comments by Professor Meryl and closing prayer by Dumbledore called upon the Holy Spirit to be with each and every student and guest, that day and always. For more information about this annual ministry event, please contact Children’s Ministry Director Jolene Johnston. jjohnston@hfec.org

Holy Family is now part of the Free Little Library network. This beautiful library (complete with a steeple!) is located on the west side of the building. This beautiful piece was built by Mark McDaniel and paid for by an anonymous parishioner donation. Marcus Dial, Holy Family’s Senior Warden, coordinated the project and assisted with installation. Feel free to drop off books for all ages. While you’re there, take a look and enjoy a book!
