We call out to Jesus with our prayers, for we know he will answer with mercy. For the students of our school, they gain wisdom from their teachers, faith from their leaders, and virtue from their interactions with each other. For the wisdom to understand the teachings of Jesus and the Church. For the strength to follow God’s commandments to the best of our ability. We pray to the Lord.
Dear HFCS Families & Friends,
We are looking forward to celebrating Catholic Schools’ Week which begins Sunday, January 26th. Later in this bulletin you will find a listing of great activities our students will be engaging in as we make our way through the coming week. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2025 is “Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community.” Catholic schools have a specific purpose to form students to be good citizens of the world, love God and neighbor and enrich society with the leaven of the gospel and by example of faith.
As communities of faith, Catholic schools instill in students their destiny to become saints. Academic excellence is the hallmark of Catholic education intentionally directed to the growth of the whole person – mind, body and spirit. Finally, service is fundamental to Catholic education and the core of Catholic discipleship. Service is intended to help form people who are not only witnesses to Catholic social teaching, but also active participants through social learning. We are excited to celebrate Catholic education this coming week and we hope you will join us.
Pax et bonum,
Sue Styren, M.Ed.
