HFCS Handbook
In our mission statement, Holy Family Catholic School pledges to “promote excellence in education—both spiritually and academically—for the whole person, thereby nourishing the gifts uniquely given to each by God. This mission will be fulfilled through a covenant with the whole faith community.” To fulfill a part of this covenant, HFCS publishes an annual handbook. This handbook is a guide—for parents, for students, and for staff—to ensure that we are working together in the best interests of the students throughout the school year.
Parental Covenant & Spiritual Outline
The Parental Covenant and Spiritual Outline are at the very heart of Holy Family Catholic School. Parental involvement is an integral part of our school philosophy. Thus, we ask all parents to commit to being involved members of our community. The signed Parental Covenant affirms the parental choice of HFCS for their child(ren) and that each family promises to fulfill certain responsibilities to the school. The following pages outline those responsibilities and are part of the Parental Covenant. Failure to fulfill the terms of this covenant may be cause for discontinuing your child(ren)’s enrollment at Holy Family Catholic School.
Preparation of the Spiritual Outline is a prayerful time for your family to come together and discuss ways you live out your faith and seek opportunities for spiritual growth within your family. We ask that you meet with your Pastor (or spiritual leader) to unite your efforts of spiritual formation to your faith community. This provides your family an opportunity to discuss your outline and/or ask for any needed guidance.
Optional Resource to Help Write a Spiritual Outline
The Spiritual Outline is meant to be an exercise for families to review their spiritual journeys and develop a plan to enhance their journey of discipleship. We understand that it can be an overwhelming task…so we’ve included a resource developed by HFCS alumni and founding family Mary and Deacon Chris Stewart. This document is meant to help you as you work through this process, but please remember–there is no “one right way” to complete a Spiritual Outline. They are as different as we are all unique in our journeys toward Christ.
