Dear Holy Family Catholic School Families and Friends,
As we move into the final weeks of our school year, our hearts are overflowing with joy and gratitude. This week offers beautiful moments of faith, community, and celebration. We hope you’ll join us as we honor our Blessed Mother and gather as a faith family.
Sacramental Celebrations
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our students who received their First Holy Communion over the past few weeks and families that joined the Church this Easter. This beautiful Sacrament marks a significant milestone in their faith journey, and we are blessed to witness their growing relationship with Christ.
Marian Mass and May Crowning
Tomorrow, May 20th presents us with a wonderful opportunity to honor our Blessed Mother during our special Marian Mass and May Crowning ceremony. We will also recognize our students who have recently received Sacraments and our 8th graders as they approach their graduation.
The procession will begin at approximately 10:20 AM, with Mass following at 10:30 AM in the gymnasium. We warmly invite you to participate by bringing flowers to place before our statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a symbol of our devotion and gratitude.
Eucharistic Procession This Evening
We hope you will join us this evening at the 2nd Annual Youth Led Eucharistic Procession, starting at 6:00 PM. This beautiful devotion has been organized by our parish youth groups with support from the parishes. We encourage all families to attend this prayerful gathering as we come together as a faith community to honor the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. We will be gathering at St. Thomas the Apostle Church and processing to McEuen Park downtown.
Grandfriends’ Day and Spring Concert
This Friday, May 22nd, we are excited to host our Grandfriends’ Day and Spring Concert. Students are asked to invite their Grandparents or “Grand” friends (parents, older siblings, aunts, uncles, friends of the family) to join us for the morning. We will start the day with a special Prayer Service honoring our grandparents & grandfriends, led by our student council. Following the prayer service our guests will be invited to join the students in their classrooms. At 9:25 the students will give school tours, share refreshments and enjoy an extended recess with their guests. The day will end with our Spring Concert in the gym at 10 am. Dismissal will be at 11:20. We hope you will enjoy this special day at HFCS. (Note: Looking for volunteer hours – we need hosts for the refreshment table – contact Allie Linscott for more information.)
Gratitude as We Approach Year’s End
As the academic year draws to a close, we are filled with gratitude for all who have contributed to making this a successful year. We extend special thanks to our dedicated volunteers and generous donors—your support enables our mission of Catholic education to flourish.
God bless you all as we journey together toward the conclusion of this academic year.
Pax et bonum,
Sue Styren, M.Ed.
