Its Annual Meetings fit the character of Holy Family, in that they are rather casual, very relational, full of good humor, and open to all. If you have any questions about this year’s meeting, whether before or after, please contact Fr. Bruce or any member of the Vestry.

Fishers COVID-19 Vaccine: The Fishers Health Department has created a form to assist in the preparations of COVID-19 vaccinations. COVID-19 vaccinations are not anticipated to be available to the general public until mid-2021 but certain individuals may qualify to receive the vaccine sooner. This survey is based on the most current criteria being utilized at the state and national level for vaccine allocation. By filling out this form, you are assisting in the planning process and eventual notification process for the vaccination by the Fishers Health Department, but this does not guarantee you a place in line nor a vaccine.
