The Troops of St. George are hosting a fundraiser on March 14 & 15 with two heavenly offerings! They’re selling Mystic Monk Coffee roasted by Carmelite monks in Wyoming: coffee with a mission. They’ll also have “Saint Socks” from Sock Religious that thread the needle between saintly and stylish. Every dollar raised goes directly toward funding our father-son expeditions and activities. Your support helps us build faith, virtue, and adventure in the lives of our young men. Stop by after Mass, grab a bag of coffee, pick up a pair (or two) of saintly socks, and support a great cause. We can’t wait to see you there!

A Time to Pray

There is only one parishioner signed up for Tuesdays at 10am, 12pm & 3pm and for Wednesdays at 11am & 1pm. We need you!

Stations of the Cross begins on Friday February 20th and will continue throughout the 40 days of the Lenten Season.

The Stations of the Cross is a spiritual pilgrimage that commemorates Jesus Christ's journey to His crucifixion. This devotional practice involves meditating on 14 key events, beginning with Jesus' condemnation by Pilate and culminating in His burial. Each station prompts reflection on themes of suffering, sacrifice, and redemption, inviting participants to deepen their faith during Lent. Engaging in this journey can lead to profound insights about the nature of love and compassion, encouraging us to carry our own crosses in daily life.

Social Media Addiction

1.Delay and Discern Platform Use as long as prudently possible.

2. Use Parental Controls: Enable built-in controls. Set time limits. Disable in-app purchases and restrict app downloads.

3.Clear Family Technology Norms: No devices in bedrooms overnight, during homework, family time, meals, including restaurants. Parents must know all passwords.

4.Teach Digital Literacy: Nothing online is truly private; never share personal images to strangers; images are often manipulated; comparison culture harms mental health.

5.Foster Real-World Anchors: Maintaining a fulfilling real world life - family meals, real friendships, activities, and volunteering - helps protect from social media harm. A strong sense of identity, belonging, and purpose makes kids less likely to seek validation online.

Baptism preparation classes are required for parents and godparents. They are held the first Sunday of the month from 11:45 am to 1:45 pm in the Parish Center. If another parish offers the class at a time more convenient for you, please make sure the parish sends us a letter or certificate of completion. Godparents must provide a letter of good standing with the Catholic Church from their home parish.

Baptisms may take place either during a weekend Mass or on the third Sunday of the month at 12:30 pm. To schedule a Baptism during Mass or at a different time, please contact Fr. Joseph.

Make an Easter flowers donation in memory of your loved ones. Please legibly write their names on the envelopes found in the pews. Put them in the collection basket by March 23, to have their names in the April 2, bulletin.

Apps to Help Make your Lent More Meaningful!

FORMED: The Catholic Faith “on-demand” with thousands of resources, including video studies, documentaries, movies, audiotalks, and children’s programming. Free for Catholics in the Diocese of Salt Lake City.

iBreviary: Highly recommended by Fr. Joseph! Simple and to the point. Priests and religious pray the Liturgy of the Hours every day. Add one of them (e.g., Office of Readings, Morning Prayer, etc.) to your daily routine. This is a classic choice for keeping a disciplined prayer life throughout Lent.

Laudate: A free, comprehensive app with daily Mass readings, Stations of the Cross, Rosary, prayers, multiple Bible versions, catechism, and more.

Hallow: Highly recommend by Mark Wahlberg, Liam Neeson and John Roumie. Stay prayed up!

Amen: Amen is the free Catholic app that brings you beautiful prayers, faithful meditations and nourishing Scripture to draw your mind, body and soul to rest in God.

Congratulations! Pat Martin

For 15 years, she nurtured young hearts as a Third Grade Religious Education teacher, helping children grow in faith and love for Christ. She has made a lasting impact on our Youth Ministry, leading meaningful service projects such as preparing meals at LANTERN House, organizing food drives for Catholic Community Services, and helping elderly neighbors with home and garden chores. She also guided teens through powerful spiritual experiences, including a 24-hour food fast, sleeping in boxes on the church lawn, and accompanying them to Steubenville conferences in Denver, San Diego, and San Francisco. Pat is also Active in the Council of Catholic Women and volunteers her time with the Altar Society.

Beyond the parish, Pat ministers weekly to 10–20 youth at the Juvenile Justice Center in Ogden and Millcreek Juvenile Detention Center, sharing God’s mercy and hope. She serves as Treasurer of the Council of Catholic Women and, together with her family, volunteers at Sunday coffee service. Pat’s compassion, faith, and joyful dedication continue to enrich Holy Family Parish.

The Diocese of Salt Lake City has been blessed by the recent ordination of Kenneth Parsad. We are looking forward to the ordination of Jaime Zuazo and Jose Luis Gomez Diaz this summer. The education of these two men is due in part to the kindness and generosity of many parishioners who give annually to the Diocesan Development Drive. Please support our five seminarians by giving to the 2026 Diocesan Development Drive. Our quota this year is $157,200. There are DDD pledge forms on the table in the back of the church, you can do a one- time gift or make a pledge to support Church and community!
