We warmly welcome you to Holy Family Parish in Hillsborough! We are so glad you are visiting our parish community. Whether you are new to the area, visiting family and friends, or just looking for a new church home, we want you to feel welcome and comfortable here.
We invite you to further explore this section and our website and would love to meet you after Mass. Please introduce yourself to Father Ryan or Deacon Bert.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask an usher or introduce yourself to our Pastor or Deacon after Mass. We can't wait to meet you!
We believe that church isn't just about our building. It's about people's relationship with God and each other.
"Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works."
--- the Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 198
Catholic belief is succinctly expressed in the profession of faith called the Nicene Creed:
Holy Family Parish has played an important part in the historic Hillsborough community since the 1960s! Yet, we're a Church for today.
Father Ryan Elder, Deacon Bert L'Homme, and our Pastoral and Financial Councils provide leadership and advice at Holy Family.
Our Office Staff are available to assist you on Sundays from 9am-3pm, and Tuesday through Friday from 9am-2pm. The Faith Formation staff is also in the office on Wednesday evenings from 5-8pm.
God constantly calls us into a deeper relationship with Himself. In the Catholic Church, we enter into this process of discovery and discernment through a guided journey called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Whether you were baptized as a child and still need to complete the other Sacraments of the Church, or were raised in another Christian denomination, or are just now discovering faith in Christ, we invite you to join our RCIA program at Holy Family.
Have you found yourself reconsidering what faith means lately? Whether you're asking big questions, wanting to return to Mass, or feeling disconnected and looking to come back home, our parish is here for you. God’s love is unrelenting and unending, so take comfort that you cannot lose your place in his embrace. Meet Him again within these walls built to offer refuge and renewal. Come home again - you will find nurturing guidance wherever your journey is leading you.
Join us as we live our mission to love God and our neighbor through prayer, study, service, and community.
