Holy Family Parish

Holy Family Parish, once known as Saint Joseph Parish, is the current site of all the Roman Catholic Parishes that were originally in Portage.  Those parishes were, Sacred Heart, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John the Baptist, and of course, Saint Joseph.  On September 9, 1999, Sacred Heart, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint John the Baptist Parishes merged to become Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.  In 2004, Saint John the Baptist was relegated to profane but not sordid use.  On August 17, 2015, Saint Joseph Parish and Our Lady of the Sacred Heart officially merged.  With the completion of renovations and remodeling, Saint Joseph Church was renamed Holy Family Church.  The Rededication of the Church and Consecration of the Altar was celebrated on June 19, 2016.
