Holy Family Catholic Church - Shell Knob MO


 

All Are Welcome

"Let us build a house where all are named
Their songs and visions heard
And loved and treasured, taught and claimed
As words within in the Word.
Built of tears and cries and laughter
Prayers of faith and songs of grace
Let this house proclaim from floor to rafter
All are welcome in this place."

Marty Haugen

Your generosity is what gives us our house and is appreciated by all!

 

  We are coming to the fulfillment of a dream:

After years of planning and saving, we have begun the building of our new worship area!  This is a tremendous undertaking and we do so with faith in God.

Holy Family Parish consists of approximately 145 families, the majority of which are seniors on fixed income.  Located on Table Rock Lake, the Church provides religious services for a large tourist base during the boating season.  Mass attendance doubles during tourist season and triples on some Sundays.  Additionally, parish membership has more than tripled in the past 20 years.

Our building project was undertaken to provide a separate area for worship and social gatherings plus increase worship area space to meet growing parish needs.  We have added a beautiful new Church to the existing structure and will use the original facility for social events. Construction began September 12, 2003 and new Church Dedication was April 13, 2004.  
 

Though the Parish was able to save a substantial amount of money over many years, our funds are nearing depletion.  Therefore, we are asking for your help.

Currently, there is a fund raising campaign underway.  Any donations to help us fulfill our commitment would be greatly appreciated.

Cash donations and leaving an estate to the Church through a Will are the most common means of donating to the Church.  However , there are many charitable gift arrangements that can also be used.  With proper planning and timing a donor can capitalize on favorable tax results (consult your Financial Advisor for your tax strategy).  Charitable giving arrangements include:
