What's happening at HF?

"You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So... get on your way!" 
- Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!
 
We hope this newsletter finds you in, or on your way to, a great place. What is happening in your life? New job? New house? Big move? Marriage? We would love to hear about it! Keep us up to date on your changes at [email protected]. We are also available to communicate with you on Facebook and Twitter.
 
The semester is more than halfway through here on campus but there are still many great events happening. We hope to see you at one of them. Whether from across the country or just down the street, thanks for connecting and keeping in touch. 
HF Chapter of Habitat for Humanity
The Holy Family Chapter of Habitat for Humanity has been busy!  

A group of twenty-seven students and three chaperones traveled from Holy Family to Spokane, WA this month to build new construction and renovate existing houses as part of Alternative Spring Break with Habitat for Humanity. Images, tweets and personal accounts of their trip can be viewed on their Storify page
 
They are featured in a video segment on the Bucks County Courier Times website
 
We're so proud of our current students (and a few alumni!) for serving the community so well.
