A message from our Principal
Today we celebrated the Baptism of our Lord, and the end of our Christmas season.
God looked up Jesus, when he was being baptized by John the Baptist, and said, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased?”
We believe that God felt the same way about us on the day we were baptized. We are all beloved sons and daughters of God.
Parker Uniforms has closed. I know that the Diocese of Fort Worth is negotiating about a settlement. We will share when we know something.
In the meantime, if you are in need of pants, shirts / blouses, please check our used-uniform collection. Holy Family will work with anyone who is in need of a school uniform piece.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve
