"Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy." 

-Pope Francis

 

Lent is here, and we hope it is a reflective and renewing time for each of you. Here on campus, Father Mac ushered in the season by leading Ash Wednesday Mass and a ceremony where students, staff and faculty placed their Lenten intentions on a cross to be displayed in the Campus Center. 

 

As we wait anxiously for spring and nature's reawakening, we hope you are marking this season in a special way in your own life.

 

Thanks for staying in touch and please let us know how we can be of service to you.

Who: All Alumni!

Holy Family University is offering continuing education workshops for licensed professionals and other community mental health and social service providers during the 2014-2015 school year. These eight (8) workshops provide NBCC-approved Continuing Education Units (CEU) for licensed professionals and other community mental health and social service providers in fulfillment of licensure renewal requirements, employer requirements, or professional development goals.

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.

Did you know that a named scholarship at Holy Family can be created for less than $20 per week; for as little as $1,000 per year? And you can fund it just once, annually, or "in perpetuity" (in combination with a bequest or other planned gift). Interested? Contact Bob Wetzel, VP for Development and Alumni at [email protected] or by phone at 267-341-5008.

Thank you for your continued support of Holy Family. 

As always, if you have any additional questions, comments or needs we can address, do not hesitate to contact us.  

Best,
