A message from our principal
This morning, we prayed the Holy Rosary for one of our dads, who is undergoing surgery. I ask you to pray for him and his family.
We also talked about the Gospel from Sunday’s Holy Mass. John the Baptist knew that his job was to point everyone to Jesus. He knew that the Messiah was coming.
Have you someone in your life who pointed the way for you to Jesus? For me, it was mostly my mother and priests in my parish. We want the children to be more like John the Baptist and continue to lead others closer to our Savior and friend, the Lord Jesus.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve

Calling All Shutterbugs
We want your HFCS photos! With all of the activities in which our Holy Family Hornets are involved, it is sometimes hard for our staff to be present at every game, meeting and event.
