A Message from Our Principal
In today’s Prayer Service, we talked about Jesus and the power He gave His disciples to forgive sins. He said in Luke’s Gospel, that “the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in His name.” We continue to ask our Heavenly Father to help us care for and share with one another. We ask Him to help us forgive one another as He forgives us.
SPIRIT GAMES --- Please go online to www.STEPHENBREENMEMORIALFOUNDATIO.ORG
and register for this year’s Spirit Games. The earlier you register, the earlier you can wear your Spirit Games shirt to school.
Thanks to the Student Council and teachers for hosting the Spring Middle School Dance. Student guests from St. Maria Goretti and St. Peter joined our middle school students for Game Time. Great job!
Progress Reports will be emailed this afternoon. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions. We have 31 school days remaining and we expect our students to remain focused on doing their best. Please encourage your children to be on time to school, work hard on their studies, and to do their best in these last six weeks of school.
NJHS Inductions will be Thursday, April 19, at our School Mass. Seventh graders chosen by the faculty will be inducted. Current NJHS members will lead the ceremony.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve

Stephen Breen Memorial Foundation Spirit Games 2018
On Sunday, April 29, Holy Family will once again participate in the Stephen Breen Memorial Foundation Spirit Games 2018. This foundation has been a tremendous help in offering financial assistance to families. This is an incredible blessing and we are so very grateful for the help received from the foundation.
You may register your children by going online to www.STEPHENBREENMEMORIALFOUNDATION.ORG to register for this fun-filled event. Gates open at 10 am and Spirit Games will begin with Mass at
11:00 am. After Mass there will be free carnival games, kickball, dodgeball, face painting, sand art, and Nolan Catholic High School concession stands will be open to purchase food and drink.
In addition, we want to build excitement for the Spirit Games. When you register, you will receive a t-shirt that serves as your admission. We hope to have the students wear their Spirit Games shirts the week of April 23 (except for Mass day). We are looking forward to this wonderful event and can’t wait to see our Holy Family Catholic School families in attendance.
Please contact the school if you have any questions.
HFCS UNIFORM UPDATE
On January 19, 2018, all HFCS families were informed that Parker School Uniforms had closed its doors and HFCS was working in conjunction with the Diocese to procure a new uniform vendor. HFCS is happy to announce that the new uniform vendor will be Mills Uniform Company. Though the initial contract has been signed there are several steps that must be completed, as follows:
1. Final selection of uniform items offered. The HFCS plaid and general color scheme are NOT changing; however, there WILL BE changes in the items that are considered the official HFCS uniform. Therefore, it is very important to not make any uniform purchases of any kind until the new uniform guidelines are published, the online store is established and Mills has an opportunity to stock their brick and mortar store.
2. Approval of logo artwork on select uniform items offered.
3. Approval of online store before going live.
4. Publication of new uniform guidelines.
It is HFCS’ intent to complete all of this work by the end of the current school year. At that time you will receive an email with the new guidelines and information on how to make a uniform purchase. The school's website will also be updated with this information and linked to the online store.
