The virtue of Hope, our school wide virtue of the year, has already taken us places. Right from the start, we put our hope in God knowing that he will provide for us, trusting that He will take His school where it needs to go to be successful. We are praying that you, our donors, can be part of the Hope that God provides. Through #iGiveCatholic, you have the opportunity to help students like Kendall learn about the virtue of Hope and how she can use it to guide her in her faith journey. Other students like Kendall, can learn to find their Hope in God through your donation to Catholic Education.
We ask that you prayerfully consider us on November 29th by giving Catholic. More information about #iGiveCatholic can be found here. To donate, go here.
There is NO SCHOOL at Holy Family tomorrow 11/1 due to All Saints' Day! Wishing you and your family a fun, safe and happy Halloween!!
