Mission Statement
The Holy Family Referral Ministry reaches out to those in need (physically, emotionally and spiritually), to the working poor, and to the elderly in the parish community to connect them to available resources. All services are available to parishioners and individuals living in South Pasadena, Alhambra and El Sereno.

About the Referral Ministry
The Referral Ministry is led by a licensed clinical social worker, a Holy Family staff member, who:

• Refers individuals to existing local resources in the community such as grief groups, therapists in the area who specialize in marital counseling or communication problems  
• Advocates on behalf of individuals 
• Provides telephone support as needed
• Provides some short- term crisis counseling
• Notifies the community about flu shots, cooling stations for seniors and other events

The Referral Ministry also serves Giving Bank clients – the “working poor” – many of whom have needs for health, school, and counseling referrals. Services to the homeless include kits containing needed toiletries and bus tokens when available.

We are unable to offer housing or shelter but will gladly refer individuals to downtown shelters as needed. The ministry also assists seniors which health services referrals as needed.
