A message from our principal
I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day!
Congratulations to the Dads’ Club for an outstanding golf tournament. Many thanks to all those who helped, contributed, and supported this wonderful event. God bless all of you!
I would like to invite everyone to the 8th Grade Promotion Mass, to be held this Friday, May 19, at 5:30 p.m. Congratulations to our graduates! They are Brayden Hamilton, Jesse Kimmerly, Claudia Leidner, Mandy McCans, Kate Morton, Ryan Phillips, Nathan Pierce, Kelsey Sterett, Ava Terrell, and Seth Ulmer.
As many of you know, Fr. Jeff will be moving to be the pastor at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Wichita Falls. His last Masses at Holy Family will be July 22-23. He will be greatly missed here at HFCS, and we wish him the best with his new parish.
Our new pastor will be Father Hoa Nguyen, who is currently the pastor at St. John the Apostle Parish in North Richland Hills. Let's all join in welcoming him this fall, as he makes his home at HFCC on August 1.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve
