Welcome to Holy Family Catholic Church Patchway – Your Local Faith Hub
Looking for a friendly place to pray, learn, or lend a hand? You’ve come to the right spot. Our church offers daily Mass, weekly confession, and special liturgies that fit families and busy schedules.
Our Services & Community Events
We run Sunday Mass at 9:00 am and 11:00 am, plus a Saturday vigil for those who can’t make it during the week. Youth groups meet every Wednesday, and our after‑school program helps kids with homework, crafts, and sports. Throughout the year we host charity drives, food bank collections, and environmental clean‑ups that bring neighbours together.
How You Can Help
Volunteer work is at the heart of our church. Whether you want to serve at a homeless shelter, organize a fundraiser, or join a local environmental group, there’s a role for you. Sign up for a weekly outreach shift, coach the youth soccer team, or lend a voice to our community‑wide “Big 6” youth leadership initiative. Whatever your skill set, you’ll find a welcoming team ready to make a real difference.
Ready to get started? Drop by the parish office, call us, or visit our website to see the latest events and sign‑up forms. We’re excited to grow in faith and service together.
