A $100,000 campaign to eliminate one of the loans on Holy Family’s building
and deepen our roots in the East End.
Retire the debt. Free the mission.
Our Mission
We are a church on a mission to gather people into communion with God, with one another, and with our neighbors.
3719 Navigation Blvd. is where that communion becomes tangible. It’s where we gather to worship and where we’re sent out to love the East End. And it’s where the neighborhood gathers with us.
3719 Navigation Blvd. is already doing the work.
Our building is a renovated meatpacking plant in Houston’s historic East End. It’s home to:
The Nave, a beautiful space where God gathers us for prayer and worship every Sunday, midweek for prayer, where we have celebrated numerous baptisms, confirmations, weddings, and funerals.
The LAR Gallery, a free art space that has showcased nearly 95 artists and welcomes over 1,000 visitors each year
Elderflower Montessori, the first micro Montessori school in Houston’s historic East End
Meeting & event spaces used by community organizations every week
Holy Family is that place.
154 people gather here for worship each Sunday, nearly four times the Episcopal Church average. Since opening our doors to the neighborhood:
$50,000
in in-kind building use donated to community partners
1,000+
LAR Gallery visitors welcomed per year
40
children and young people have received scholarships for art workshops and camps.
Retiring this financial obligation makes the next chapter possible by freeing up budget currently going to monthly debt service, increasing our capacity to hire additional staff and continue to grow, and strengthening our foundation for future decisions about our building and neighborhood.
This is the first step in a longer vision for how Holy Family can steward its real estate for the East End and its people.
