apostolate Ministries

All ministries flow from the love of God and His desire to walk with each one of us at all times. As participants in ministry, we actively share in the mission of the Church while also strengthening our inner connection to God. It also gives each one of us an external outlet to demonstrate God’s love in our daily lives.

We are blessed to have over 30 ministries and organizations at our parish which help serve diverse needs of our flock. If you would like to know more about these groups and organizations, email Amber Sechser at asechser@holyfamilyorlando.org.
