Holy Faith Catholic Church

Iglesia Santa Fe

Holy Faith is a welcoming, multicultural Catholic parish community of 2100 registered households. The majority of our parishioners are families with children. We are also blessed with seniors who are engaged and contribute to the vibrancy of parish life. Many adult professionals, staff, and students of the University of Florida and Santa Fe College have also made Holy Faith their home church. Various ethnic communities: Filipino, Hispanic, Indian, African, and many others, enrich our parish with their deep witness of faith and the joy of Christian living.

We strive to be better disciples of Christ and to be good stewards of the many human and financial gifts that God has blest us with. Although our canonical territory is large, we are at the heart of the City of Gainesville, our campus is beautiful and it serves as a place of solace and refreshment to the businesses that surrounds us.

• Worship is at the heart of all our endeavors as a parish. We aim to celebrate all our liturgies, our Sacraments, most specially our Holy Eucharist, with the dignity and reverence that the sacred liturgy demands, always aiming at facilitating the full, conscious, and active participation of all. 

• Family Life & Youth are central to our parish community. We take great care in helping families and their children to grow and sustain their faith. There are many opportunities and activities during the year to support family life. Our Sunday school is active and alive, always open to receive new participants!
  
  
• Faith Formation at Holy Faith is based on prayer and seeks to understand our faith with mind, spirit, and heart. Our spiritual growth is rooted in sound spiritual and theological principles and in bringing together the Sacred Scripture and the rich traditions of the Catholic Church.  
  
  
• Our parish serves and provides sacramental and Pastoral Care to Catholics in 14 institutions including hospital, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospice, and homebound. Our outreach ministry to the sick, homebound, and those with any need, Catholic or not, is always ready to respond with the compassion of Christ.

Our heart ... is the heart of  Jesus
Our model ... is St. Francis
