HISTORY OF HOLY FAMILY CHURCH

St. Joseph the Worker Church

St. Joseph the Worker Church was founded under Bishop Alexander Carter on July 15, 1963 and placed in the care of the Stigmatine Fathers. The Stigmatine Fathers also established the Catholic Information Centre, which was closed and sold for the use as a Teen Centre in 2001. The Centre is now under St. Vincent de Paul, Men's Shelter and Thrift Store. The first pastor of St. Joseph the Worker Church was Fr. Soracco and remained pastor until the Stigmatine Fathers left Sault Ste. Marie in 1975 the parish was then administered by the Diocesan Priests.

St. Andrew Bobola Church

In 1954, Father E. Jastalski, traveled from Sudbury once a month to celebrate masses at St. Veronica's Parish for the Polish people. Under the substantial leadership of Fr. S. Robert, a concentration camp survivor, St. Andrew Bobola Church, a centre of the ethnic Polish community was finally built in 1960. It was named after the 17th century Polish Jesuit martyr (1591-1657). Fr. Robert continued to serve as pastor until his death in 1972. For over 30 years, the parish also sponsored a Polish school which encouraged the Polish language, culture and dancing.
