History

Holy Family Parish was established in 1954 as an offshoot from St. Francis Xavier Parish. Until the church was completed in the fall of 1955, the parish utilized the chapel of the Sacred Heart Orphanage on Sprague Street. Initially, the Franciscan Fathers of the Santa Barbara Province served the parish. They bought with them a spirit of outreach and an emphasis on education that has inundated the ministry of Holy Family Parish.

 In the mid-1980s, Holy Family underwent a $105,000 renovation. Because of major structural changes, which resulted in an all-encompassing redesign of the church, the parish was dedicated a second time. The renovation provided a liturgically correct worship space as well as facets that would allow the parish to modify according to purpose. For instance, in view of the shortage of priests, the church furnishings were designed to be movable in the event that the building would some day be used as a fellowship hall. This renovation, and its focus on the future of the parish, symbolized the renewal of the congregation, and their rededication to their faith, and to the challenges presented by the late twentieth century.
