Holy Family

Ladies Auxiliary

“God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do.” (Ephesians: 2-10)

 

Holy Family Ladies Auxiliary began decades ago as a group of Holy Family (HF) women whose husbands were in Knights of Columbus (KofC), a global Catholic service order.

 
Today:
  • We are or have been married to a Knight—or not.
  • We are married/single/widowed.
  • We have kids/stepkids/grandkids/no kids.
  • We live in single-family homes, condos, apartments, and assisted living—alone, or with family.
  • We are younger than some, older than others.
  • We are Rockford natives…and imports.
 
In short: we are a diverse and welcoming group of smart, caring, faith-full Catholic women—cradle Catholics and converts—who love our faith and enjoy camaraderie during and between our monthly meetings (second Wednesdays, September-May, at 7:00 PM in the St. Anne Room).
 
Through the years, the Auxiliary has served countless people in need, and helped to create many lifelong friendships.
 

In other words: We’re just like you.

 

How We Answer God’s Call to Serve and to Spread Our Faith:

  1. We serve our Holy Family parish. Participate only if you want to have fun!
  2. We support and serve Holy Family through our annual garage sale; helping monthly to provide coffee and donuts after Sunday’s 9:30 Mass; and through poinsettia and Easter flower sales. Our Auxiliary initiated the annual May crowning when Msgr. Bales was Pastor—a tradition that continues!
  3. We support the KofC in some of their fundraisers like the Lenten fish dinners, pancake breakfast, and more.
  4. We support the Poor Clare Colettine Nuns by grocery shopping their list of needs and delivering them to their Rockford Monastery.
  5. We support and serve our community. We pray outside local abortion facilities, contact elected officials to voice our opinion on issues, and more.
  6. We support each other through prayer and acts of service. When one of us has a need—whether it’s prayer for ourselves or a loved one during a difficult time; hospital or home visits; making/delivering home-cooked meals; or whatever may be in our hearts—Holy Family’s Ladies Auxiliary members answer the call.

Please join us–we look forward to meeting you!

 

We meet on the second Wednesday in September through May, at 7:00 PM in the St. Anne Room.
