Welcome to Holy Family Catholic Church...

Thank you and welcome to Holy Family Catholic Church!  We are the only independent Charismatic Catholic parish in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Our parish is a progressive Catholic community founded in January 2003, and we have no juridical ties to the Roman Catholic Church. We believe in the power of God's Word through the Blood Covenant and take it seriously. We share the truths of God's Word in each mass and follow its teachings in our individual lives.

We reach out in a special way to those who feel alienated from or whose consciences have directed them to make moral choices that differ from the institutional churches in which they were raised.  Taking Jesus as our model, we accept all people exactly where they are on the path of life without insisting that they become like us or think like us.  Love knows no boundaries nor admits of any divisions among the People of God.

True to our Catholic heritage, we celebrate 7 sacraments, which we offer to everyone, regardless of denomination or faith.  We welcome those who believe, and those who doubt, those who have hope for the future, and those who have lost all hope.  Unlike Roman Catholic parishes, we invite all to partake of Eucharist.  Sacramental marriage is open to all loving couples, regardless of gender or preference, whether they have been previously married or not.  Family planning and divorce and remarriage are matters of individual conscience and we do not presume to interfere in an individual person’s discernment of God’s will for his or her life.

The 7 Sacraments We Recognize:

1. Confirmation (The Personal Acceptance of Jesus Christ As Your Personal Lord
       and Savior)
2. Baptism
3. Eucharist (Communion)
4. Marriage
5. Reconciliation (Pastoral Counseling)
6. Anointing of the Sick
7. Holy Orders (Being Called to the Priesthood or into Ministry)
