The Holy Family Men’s Club, currently comprising of 
approximately twenty (20) men, is dedicated to giving assistance to the overall mission of Holy Family Church. It serves as a viable entity of the parish’s life and serves as a major supporter of other organizations in the church and school communities.
Recently, the Men’s Club purchased and installed a new sound system for the Allen Drury Room, as well as the lights for the ball in the center of the Room. They have held annual New Year’s Eve affair and prepare and serve a Mother’s Day breakfast for all the parishioners and their families. Every school year, the Men’s Club presents Scholarship Awards to graduates from Holy Family School and parishioners graduating from area Senior High Schools. In recent years they have held successful “Crab Feast” raffle, other raffles and sponsored Jazz shows, all to help fund the scholarship awards and other gifts/purchases to the church and school.
The Men’s Club is always looking for men, over 21 years of age, to join them in assisting the parish. There is always lots of fun and brotherhood displayed at their meetings on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM in the Allen Drury Room. For more information contact Arnold Cole, President, through the rectory at 301-894-2222.
