My Dear Family and Friends of Holy Family,
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE OUR PLAN FOR OUR PARISH REOPENING: As you are all aware, the Archdiocese of San Antonio has recently announced the gradual reopening of Masses beginning on May 19, 2020. We are grateful to have an Archbishop who has done all that he has done during all these circumstances. How wonderful it was for him to fly over several of the areas to show us how He is with us all as we gradually move forward in reopening. I ask that you will continue to pray for him and those who are assisting him in all areas concerning all the parishes in the Archdiocese of San Antonio. This is an exciting time for the Church and I am very happy and feel blessed to be able to Celebrate Mass once again with our parish community. I have missed you all so very much. We have done our best to keep in touch and stay connected during this time. I am thankful to all of you for checking up on me, for your prayers and your constant support through this time. I am very happy to be part of this blessed family! As happy as I am and I know you are, it is important to remember that this reopening is going to be gradual and limited as we do our best to follow the guidelines given to us by the State, County and Archdiocese. This is not an easy time for all of us but we will need your understanding, patience and cooperation now more than ever. The health and safety of ALL is our top priority.  
To read more and to see our plan for reopening, please look above on the Parish Reopening Policy Button. Thank You.
Rev. Ralainirina Francois Rakotovoavy, MSF

Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary, bless our family. Graciously inspire in us the unity, peace, and mutual love that you found in your own family in the little town of Nazareth.
Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother, nourish our family with your faith and your love.
Keep us close to your Son, Jesus,
in all our sorrows and joys.
Joseph, Foster-father to Jesus, guardian spouse of Mary, keep our family safe from harm.
Help us in all times of discouragement and anxiety.
Holy Family of Nazareth, make our family one with you. Help us to be instruments of peace. Grant that love strengthen by grace, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our family sometimes pass. May we always have God at the center of our hearts and homes until we are one family, happy and at peace in our true home with you. Amen
