A message from our principal
Thanks to all who made our 2017 Holy Family Fall Festival a great success!
Thanks for the Knights of Columbus and our Dads’ Club for the great food and drink; the room parents for all the stations; Adrian Springer (Janelle, Kinder) for the music; all the volunteers from Nolan Catholic; Holy Family parent and student volunteers; Ms. Kathy Bernal and Hornet Band.
SPECIAL THANKS to our Fall Festival Chairs: MRS. LISA PHILLIPS AND VONNE VELEZ. These two women sacrifice much to make this event special for each of us. When you see them, say thanks.
Today at our Morning Prayer service, Jesus shared with us that many times we don’t understand about what’s “fair.” Those who worked in the vineyard all day and those who worked just a few hours, were paid the same wage. God’s priority seems to be loving-generosity toward the latter group. God’s ways should be our ways.
Don't forget Friday, September 29, is a teacher inservice day and there will be NO Before and After School Care.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve
