Through our recent Annual Fund mail campaign, we heard from many of you who connected with the featured images that arrived in your mailboxes. You shared with us a memory of a former professor, a favorite classmate, or a class that was particularly influential on your life. These excellent stories are living proof of that special Holy Family value of family and we loved hearing from you. Now we would like to see you in person!

You may have recently received a postcard in the mail regarding our upcoming Alumni Directory. Part of the mission of the Alumni Association of Holy Family is to keep our alumni connected to the school and to each other. To help achieve that goal, Holy Family has contracted Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) to begin a project to update contact information for all alumni and publish an alumni directory.

 

Know that by following the directions on the card and updating your information with PCI, you will be helping Holy Family University establish benchmarks for our career center office, applying for government grants, and determining our ranking in national evaluations.

 

We hope that you will participate in the alumni directory project. If you have questions, please contact Kathy Warchol, Assistant Director of Alumni and Parents, at [email protected] or 267-341-5017.

 

We send a special thank you to all alumni who responded so generously to our recent mailing; every gift makes a difference for our students. The Holy Family Annual Fund is ongoing and you can make a gift at any time. Click the picture below to make an online donation now!
