Free Events at Holy Family Catholic Church Patchway

Looking for something to do that won’t cost a penny? Holy Family Catholic Church in Patchway runs a steady stream of free events that bring people together, teach new skills, and give back to the neighbourhood. Whether you’re a young family, a student, or someone who just wants a friendly face on the weekend, there’s a place for you.

What’s on the calendar?

Our schedule mixes faith‑based gatherings with practical workshops. You’ll find:

Community outreach mornings – volunteers help local shelters, sort donations, and hand out care packages. No experience needed, just a willingness to lend a hand.
Family movie nights – outdoor screenings on the church grounds, complete with popcorn and a short reflection afterward.
Skill‑share sessions – members teach everything from basic cooking to gardening, often using the church’s community garden.
Youth group meet‑ups – games, music, and discussion circles that let teens explore their faith in a relaxed setting.
Health and wellness talks – local experts talk about mental health, nutrition, and staying active, all free to attend.

All events are advertised on our notice board, website, and the Sunday bulletins, so you never have to wonder what’s happening next.

How to get involved

First step? Show up. Most events are open‑door, so you can walk in and join. If you want to help organize, ask the parish office for the volunteer list – they’ll match you with a role that fits your schedule and interest.

Bring a friend or family member if you feel shy. The community vibe is welcoming, and most people come looking for new connections just like you. If you have a skill you’d like to share, tell the coordinator; we love adding fresh ideas to the program.

Need a reminder? Sign up for our free email alerts. You’ll get a quick heads‑up the week before each event, with details on time, location, and any items you might need to bring (a water bottle for a garden day, for example).

Finally, don’t forget to give feedback. After every event we ask for a short comment – it helps us improve and keeps the free‑event calendar lively and relevant.

Free events at Holy Family aren’t just about filling a calendar; they’re about building a stronger, caring Patchwork of neighbours. Come as you are, learn something new, and leave with a smile. See you at the next gathering!
