Looking at the parishes in Gainesville, there is St. Patrick in the Eastside (east of 441), St. Augustine at the University of Florida, and Queen of Peace in the growing westside (west of I-75). Then, there is our parish of Holy Faith at the very center or heart of the community of Gainesville.

          Our constant call is to have Christ in the heart of all at Holy Faith. Then, we can have Christ’s heart (His love and compassion and justice) for the community of Gainesville and beyond for the world. The statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in front of our church building reminds us of this.

          We are a diverse Catholic community of young and old, families and singles, of various incomes and backgrounds, with many talents and gifts to share together. We are a parish experiencing a new and exciting time of life: an "explosion" of life!

• We are experiencing a growing membership.
• We are increasing family and adult spirituality programs.
• We care deeply about how to pass on the Catholic faith to our children.
• We are caring for our senior parishioners who are such a vital part of our lives.

• We are learning more about the Church’s call to social justice and respect for all human life from conception to natural death.
• We are reaching out to those in need in our city and region.
• We have a Sister Parish (Jesus Nipalakin) in Guatemala.
• We inspired to serve others in our worship together, especially in the celebration of the Eucharist.
