The Dolores Mission/Holy Family Connection
For several years, Holy Family parishioners have enjoyed a special and unique
relationship with Dolores Mission — a Jesuit parish in the Boyle Heights
section of East Los Angeles. The proximity to South Pasadena enables
the Holy Family community to be in a relationship of solidarity — a friendship
among people who share a common faith and a desire for deeper understanding and
cultural enrichment.
Our Time and Talent at Dolores Mission
Holy Family's involvement with the people of Dolores Mission includes Bridges,
a friendship building program between the children of Holy Family and Dolores
Mission schools. Holy Family parishioners serve on the Dolores Mission School
Advisory Board which recently oversaw a major school renovation project. Other
parishioners serve on the Dolores Mission parish finance and development
advisory committee. Our parishioners are also active in teaching English and
visiting with the men of the Guadalupe Homeless Project housed on Dolores Mission's
grounds. Other Holy Family parishioners can be found working in the organic
garden created for the children of Dolores Mission, teaching poetry and writing
to the school children, and tutoring in the after-school program. Most
recently, a group of retired educators has undertaken a remediation program
for the children of Dolores
Mission School.
Each January, many Holy Family parishioners participate in an annual party
which raises funds for the various needs of Dolores Mission Parish and School.
