"Our mission is a bold one: to help all our members become everyday saints and, through them, to bring God’s joy and peace to the families and communities of North America.

Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian housing ministry seeking to eliminate poverty housing and to make decent shelter for families. Holy Family combines its efforts with other Catholic churches in Cobb County to increase our effectiveness in this ministry. Donations are combined with volunteer labor to build simple decent houses. These houses are sold to worthy families at no profit and are financed by Habitat at no interest. Our building schedule typically starts after Labor Day weekend. Your financial support will be appreciated year round. Please see the Holy Family Habitat for Humanity website for more information.

The Knights of Holy Family Council 9792 are a Catholic, family, fraternal service organization dedicated to the principles of the order: charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. Community involvement is evident in the Knights support of Citizens with Disabilities, the Tommy Nobis Center, Kennesaw State Scholarship and seminarians studying for the priesthood. Parish involvement includes Sunday breakfasts, Casino nights and our annual parish Fall Festival, for which we have won state recognition. Special functions for members include a Christmas Dinner and Spouse Appreciation Dinner.
Perhaps a more fitting description of Knights' activities within our parish is "and anything else that needs to be done," always with fun and friendship entwined. Business meetings are held the first and third Mondays of each month and a social meeting the fifth Monday of the month. All men of our parish who are over 18 years of age and are practicing Catholics are welcome to become involved as their schedule permits.

St. Vincent de Paul
Our mission is to deepen members' spiritual relationships with God, and from this love received, go out to serve neighbors in need. We do this through person-to-person visits with people who call the Church in times of trouble. We offer information, community resources, compassionate listening, and encouragement. We provide practical, material, and financial assistance when no other resources are available.
Meetings are on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm in Room 115 near the Parish Center. Volunteers may also join to help on occasion, pack and/or deliver food and home furnishings, do data entry, or go along on a home visit with a member. All donations go toward direct aid to the people we serve. Are you over 18 and have a desire to help someone else make a difference in their life? Can you free up a couple of hours a week, a few hours a month? Join—it will change your life, too.
Our food pantry is another area where parishioners can show their support for this ministry. Please consider donating any of the following canned foods: meats and stews, fish, vegetables and beans, fruit, juice, applesauce, spaghetti products, meat sauces, all tomato products, salsa, peanut butter, jelly, all condiments, etc. There is a box in the Narthex where these items can be donated.
