It is always important for us to review our various programs at Holy Name. Please click here for a
short survey on our Extended Care Program

Please note that Extended Care will close at 5PM next Friday, December 21st. Please make sure your child is picked up by 5PM.
Friday the students will enjoy
Cookie Decorating
with our preschool students. All students are invited to wear Christmas Pajamas for a special free dress day this Friday. If students do not want to wear their pajamas they should wear their school uniforms.
Kindergarten is preparing for a special art project.
If you have empty toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls, please bring them to the main office.
Thursday our 8th graders will be leading our 9AM mass. Sunday our 3rd graders will be leading our 9:30AM mass. We hope you will join us.
Have a wonderful rest of your week! We look forward to seeing you Thursday night at the concert.

Find a reason to smile everyday.
We might encounter bad experiences, but remember, it's just a bad day and not a bad life.
Faith and prayers are invisible, but they can make impossible things possible.
It's God's part to do wonders and ours is the simplest part to ask and believe.
Have a great day ahead!
-Fr. Arnold
