Dear Parishioners,

In conjunction with our parish

finance council it pleases me to

announce that with the permission of

our Bishop David M. O’Connell and

the financial support of the diocese,

Holy Family Church has purchased the

property on the corner of Hwy.36 and Fr. Fitzpatrick

Way, adjacent to our parking lot. The acquisition of

this property has been a long- time goal of the parish,

which will assist us in the long-term future plans.

Most of you are already aware of the fact that Holy

Family Church has applied to Hazlet Township for the

rezoning of the front portion of our school property to

Business/Highway in order to prepare the parcel of

land for sale. Without an active school it is no longer

possible or practical for the parish to sustain the

expenses of the Hazlet buildings and acreages. We must

begin to prepare our plans for the future of the parish

and this will be the beginning.

At this point in time there are no definite answers

for the surrounding neighbors as to what will

eventually become of the property on the Hazlet side of

the highway but I don’t believe we will be shopping at

Walmart.

I ask for your patience and continued support over

the months and years ahead. Let us all pray that the

Holy Family will keep us in their care and that our

parish will go forward in its ministries of educating our

young and old in spiritual and social matters and in

serving the needy of the surrounding communities.

Fr. Mark
