Holy Family Parish

What Holy Family Parish does

Holy Family Parish is a Roman Catholic parish located at 2729 Center Road in Poland, Ohio, established in 1956 and operating under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Youngstown. It serves approximately 6,000 registered parishioners through a comprehensive program of worship services (daily and weekend Masses, Confession, Eucharistic Adoration), sacramental preparation (Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage), and pastoral care. The parish employs 11 full-time staff members including the pastor, two deacons, a school principal, and administrative and facilities personnel, supported by over 50 active lay ministries spanning liturgical, educational, formation, service, and outreach functions.

The parish operates a portfolio of core programs including Religious Education (CCD) for preschool through high school, Youth Ministry with EDGE programming, Young Adult Ministry for ages 18-39, sacramental preparation tracks, and the Holy Family School (preschool through grade 8). Music Ministry encompasses five choirs and ensembles. A 6,000 square foot Parish Center completed in Fall 2009 with 350-person capacity serves as a community event venue. The technology stack consists of standard nonprofit and parish platforms: OSV Hub for online giving, RaiseRight (formerly SCRIP) for gift card fundraising, FORMED for Catholic media content, and VIRTUS for safe-environment compliance; no proprietary technology systems or AI capabilities are present.

Revenue is generated through four streams: voluntary parish donations and tithes, Parish Center facility rentals for community events (weddings and wedding receptions excluded), the SCRIP/RaiseRight gift card affiliate program earning commissions on family purchases, and participation in the Annual Diocesan Appeal. Distribution is purely local and in-person at the single campus, with online giving and digital content serving as remote engagement layers. The parish's customer base is its registered member families, supplemented by community event renters and outreach recipients served through partnerships with the Poland Food Pantry, Youngstown Soup Kitchen, Dorothy Day House, and other local service organizations.
