Holy Family Catholic Church

Everyone has a role to play in rebuilding our community. There are MANY ways someone can assist.

Financial support is the most helpful at this stage. We are asking for monetary donations via our GoFundMe page (click the image here on our homepage), and the link at the top of this page for our venmo.  

Checks can be made out to Holy Family Church (with "Hurricane Ida Relief written in the memo) and dropped off at the church or mailed to the address below:

Holy Family Church
PO Box 87
Dulac, LA 70353

We also need  manpower (volunteer labor) to help us clear debris, gut homes, and do general unskilled clean up jobs. This can be highschool or college students, your prayer group, your football team, your mens club, etc.  If you are physically capable of working, we can put you to work! No skills required!

On job sites, restrooms are often unavailable though we have facilities at the church. We can also  house volunteers overnight in our multipurpose facility (a dorm like setting). Cots, restrooms, showers are available, and sometimes we can provide meals. We cannot house anyone under 18 overnight however.

Please call Mike Balog our project manager on 231-645-2748 if you can help in any capacity with the above needs, and you will be asked to fill out our online form.

We need people to  adopt a local family from our parish. When you adopt a family, we give you their name, address, and phone number. You get in touch with them and see what their needs are. Then you make a trip to their home here in Dulac if you can, to bring them what they need, help with what they asked, or coordinate whatever assistance they are requiring with someone else who can do what you can't.

To adopt a family, call Erin at  231-620-1536 or email erin.ray@htdiocese.org. We have a list of families who agreed to be adopted and need help. It may not cost you anything. Maybe they simply need help with manual labor, or supplies delivered to them from Holy Family. Maybe you can help them from a distance, without making a visit down. Prayerfully consider ministering to our people in this way.

We are accepting donations of some material goods. The list of what we need changes frequently so please message us on Facebook or email us to find out what we are taking. We do have a Free Clothing Garage where we allow people to "shop" for their size on Thursdays and Saturdays. We are currently accepting men's, women's, and children's clothing, shoes, and coats. They must be in good condition (no rips or stains) and preferably sorted before drop off.

We need volunteers to deliver the goods to our people through our Hurricane Relief Home Delivery Ministry. We work together to prepare care packages, and then send volunteers out in groups of 2 or more to pray with families and bring them a care package. If we have enough volunteers, we are hoping to do this twice per month on Fridays/Saturdays. Our next dates are December 10/11 and 17/13.
