A Message from Our Principal
In our prayer service this morning, we talked about Sunday’s Mass theme, Good Shepherd Sunday. In John’s Gospel, Jesus describes himself as the Good Shepherd. Jesus not only cares for his flock, but he is also willing to lay down his life for them.
It is also World Day of Prayer for Vocations. We continue to pray that more and more young people will hear God’s call to enter the Priesthood and Religious life.
Congratulations to the new members of the Holy Family Catholic School Chapter of the National Honor Society. New members, chosen by their teachers, are:
Samuel Asprilla, Ivan Lopez, Brennan Cox, Cooper Salerno, Meredith Garcia, Jackson Thompson, William Hughes, Megan Zavala and Daniel Kiehlbauch.
A reception for the new and current members and their families were held in the Parish Hall after Mass. Congratulations again, to the new student leaders of our school.

Stephen Breen Memorial Foundation Spirit Games 2018
On Sunday, April 29, Holy Family will once again participate in the Stephen Breen Memorial Foundation Spirit Games 2018. This foundation has been a tremendous help in offering financial assistance to families. This is an incredible blessing and we are so very grateful for the help received from the foundation.
You may register your children by going online to www.STEPHENBREENMEMORIALFOUNDATION.ORG to register for this fun-filled event. Gates open at 10 am and Spirit Games will begin with Mass at
11:00 am. After Mass there will be free carnival games, kickball, dodgeball, face painting, sand art, and Nolan Catholic High School concession stands will be open to purchase food and drink.
In addition, we want to build excitement for the Spirit Games. When you register, you will receive a t-shirt that serves as your admission. We hope to have the students wear their Spirit Games shirts the week of April 23 (except for Mass day). We are looking forward to this wonderful event and can’t wait to see our Holy Family Catholic School families in attendance.
Please contact the school if you have any questions.
