World Meeting of Families Recap
Holy Family was well represented during the World Meeting of Families last week! 
  • Many alumni, former faculty, and friends of the University stopped by
    our booth during the conference to say hello. Here is Mike McNulty, Assistant Vice President for Student Life, at the conference. 
  • And our alumni were on the Parkway for the Papal Mass on Sunday, showing their HFU pride!
