Notice:
Out of love and consideration for our fellow parishioners, if you are feeling ill or experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, please refrain from receiving the Precious Blood during Holy Communion. Remember, Christ is fully present in the consecrated Host, so you receive the fullness of the Eucharist even when receiving under one species.
Thank you for helping us care for the health and well-being of our parish family. God bless you!
Pope Leo XIV Prayer Intentions For November.
For the proper use of wealth
Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of selfishness, it may always be put at the service of the common good and solidarity of those who have less.

Diocesan Development Drive 2026
Let’s Reach our DDD Goal!
We are quickly bringing this year’s Diocesan Development Driveto a close! We believe we can meet this year’s pledge goal of $157,700, set by our Diocese. That means we will need to raise $67,280 more. Any shortfall must be taken from the our operating budget, thus postponing improvement projects around the Church. The goal given by the diocese is derived from our annual income. This added request by the diocese is an opportunity for us as individuals and as a parish community to participate in the larger mission of the Church. Some parts of our diocese have much greater needs and fewer means. We also have a responsibility for helping educate seminarians and future deacons. There are over 30 Catholic ministries around Utah that will benefit from our generosity. Our collective fundraising ensures service can be offered where it is needed most. Thank you to all who have already made their DDD gifts as well as to those who are currently paying their pledges. If you have not given a donation to this year’s DDD, please consider doing so in the next few weeks so we can reach our goal.
Write DDD on your check’s memo line or go to www.DioSLC.org/DDD and select Holy Family Catholic Church

Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick
If you are preparing for surgery or a hospital stay, please consider receiving the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick before going to the hospital. Whenever possible, it is best to arrange to receive the sacraments prior to your procedure rather than waiting until you are hospitalized.
The Sacrament of Anointing can easily be received after Mass, or arrangements can be made with a priest before you leave for the hospital. You do not need to wait until your condition becomes critical to receive this sacrament.
If you have an upcoming surgery, please contact the parish office 801-479-1112.
