Grotto honors Mary

PORT ST. LUCIE | There is an outdoor garden, a sacred place, honoring Mary, the Mother of God, at Holy Family Parish in Port St. Lucie. It began as a shared vision of the pastor, Father Tri Pham, and the parish’s Hispanic ministry to construct a serene place where parishioners, including those just passing by, could sit and pray, reflect or just seek solace away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The vision came to fruition with the dedication and collaboration of the Catholic community coming together to build the shrine honoring Mary, or “Mama Mary” as many parishioners affectionally like to call the Mother of God.

Historically gender has defined women and their roles. Women should not be pressured to conform to gender roles or behaviors. This collection of work celebrates all things WOMAN! Let us break the stigma surrounding female gender roles and celebrate those women who are comfortable being themselves regardless of what that looks like.

Local artist offers portrait to Pope Francis

PORT ST. LUCIE | Artist Maria Nowak of Holy Family Parish in Port St. Lucie created a unique painting of Pope Francis, made with seeds and grains. She prayed that one day a door would open so she could give the painting to the pope.

That day came March 16, 2022, in a special audience with the Holy Father.

Nowak emigrated from Poland to America as a single woman more than 24 years ago. She met her American husband, Jack, and they have three children.

“Dreams do come true. It was God who led me to where I am today,” she said. “About 10 months ago, we moved to Port St. Lucie from New Jersey. We chose Holy Family Church because it was closest to us, and immediately we felt its spirituality. We knew this is the place we should be.”
