A Message from Our Principal
If we take the time to listen, we will hear Jesus say deep in our hearts, “Untie him and let him go. Untie her and let her go.” Jesus will always accept us no matter what. We just have to say “YES!”
WORLD MISSION ROSARY
Please join us on Monday, October 23, at 2 p.m., as we pray the World Mission Rosary. As Archbishop Fulton Sheen stated when he designed this special version of the Rosary in 1951, “We must pray, and not for ourselves, but for the whole world, and especially for those who are poor and vulnerable at home and around the world.”
Our prayers support the intentions of the Holy Father, Pope Francis, and his Society for the Propagation of the Faith, by supplying him with practical support, as well as prayers, for the poor mission territories of the world. “When the Rosary is completed, one has embraced all the continents, all people in prayer.”
UPCOMING EVENTS
Due to a constantly changing calendar, we will not be printing a full calendar this year. Please refer to the Holy Family Catholic School website calendar for all important dates. There is a printable version at that link, for your convenience. Thank you!
