I am thrilled to announce that our school has been awarded the FEMA 2024 Non-Profit Security Grant in the amount of $150,000.00. We received this wonderful news on October 4, 2024. This grant will significantly enhance our ability to provide a safe and secure learning environment for our students.
My deepest gratitude goes out to the dedicated individuals who worked tirelessly on this project. Your commitment to our school’s safety is truly commendable.

Parents in Education, PIE, HFCS’s wonderful Parents Group is once again leading the World’s Finest Chocolate Sale this month. This fundraiser is a delicious way to support our school’s initiatives. We encourage all families to participate and help make this year’s sale a sweet success!
SUCCESS Phone-a-thon
A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who volunteered their time for the SUCCESS Phone-a-thon last week. Your efforts are invaluable in supporting our mission.
We continue to encourage all families to pledge to the SUCCESS program. This initiative is crucial in our ability to provide quality Catholic education to all families in our region. We also invite extended family members and parishioners to consider pledging their support.
A Reflection
As we go about our busy lives, let us remember the words from Psalm 139:1-3, 13-14, 15:
“O LORD, you have probed me and you know me;
you know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar.
Truly you have formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother’s womb.
I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works.
My soul also you knew full well;
nor was my frame unknown to you
When I was made in secret,
when I was fashioned in the depths of the earth.
Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.”
These words remind us of God’s intimate knowledge and love for each of us, and the unique gifts He has bestowed upon our children.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in education. Together, we are shaping the future, one student at a time.
Pax et bonum,
Sue Styren, M.Ed.
