Fr. Imre Juhasz is director of the diocesan Hungarian Apostolate, as well as parochial vicar of Holy Family Parish. The Hungarian community, based at the St. Ladislaus site, presents numerous cultural, spiritual, liturgical and social opportunities throughout the year, often in conjunction with cultural partners.

The Hungarian Festival along Somerset St. in New Brunswick is perhaps the best known, but by no means the only big event annually celebrating Hungarian faith and culture. There are important celebrations of Hungarian saints and martyrs (St. Ladislaus, June 27; St. Stephen, Aug. 16), and key events in Hungarian history.

Life Project is an energetic and creative group calling for all youth in our area to come together as one family. Our motive is to serve our community and come closer to Jesus Christ through social events.

We attend March for Life rallies in Washington DC, and events to Promote Life. Life Project youth are motivated to bring more youth to our Masses, trips and social gatherings. Our youth also bring more youth closer to Christ by sharing their experiences.

We gather twice a month. For more information, feel free to reach out to Yeni Méndez or the office.

Holy Family Parish is committed to establishing a Filipino Catholic presence in New Brunswick.  For the past several years, we have been the diocesan home for the Filipino 5am "Misa de Gallo" from Dec. 16-24 at St. Ladislaus Church, but we are always seeking ways to expand our outreach. Contact Renel Sevilla at the parish center 732-545-1681 Ext. 104 if you would like to help forming a group. Salamat po!

Invoking the patronage of Saints Martha and Mary, who balanced action and reflection in their domestic life, the group is a women's group that prays and reflects and works crafts and art in their weekly time together.  The goal is for women to realize God's ongoing and empowering presence in daily life, especially in the work of our hands and with our fellowship as co-religionists. Currently the group meets every Monday from 6-8pm in the church hall of the Sacred Heart site, is led by Lydia Torres, and overseen by Caritas director Bridgette Perez.  Come and go as you please. To join, or for more information, contact Bridgette Perez at bridgettes@holyfamilyforall.org.
