Holy Week is a sacred period in the liturgical calendar, a time when we pause and contemplate the profound sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for our salvation. It is a time of deep reflection, prayer, and renewal of our faith. Through our observance of Holy Week, we are reminded of the immense love and mercy of our Lord, and we are called to deepen our commitment to living out His teachings in our daily lives.

This year, our school community has engaged in various activities to prepare for Holy Week. Our school intentionally paused to attend our Living Stations of the Cross presented by our 6th grade class. Their dedication, creativity, and reverence were truly inspiring. The Living Stations of the Cross served as a poignant reminder of Christ's journey to Calvary and allowed us to enter more fully into the spirit of this sacred season.

I encourage all of you to pause your normal activity and actively participate in the Triduum liturgies. May this sacred week be a time of spiritual growth, renewal, and joy as we anticipate the glorious celebration of Easter.

Wishing you and your families a blessed Holy Week and a joyous Easter!

In Faith and Partnership,

Sarah Sharkey

Principal

Opportunities to Volunteer

Volunteer Hours

Volunteering at Holy Family

Every adult who volunteers at Holy Family is required to have a current background check on file, complete a VIRTUS training course, and sign a volunteer agreement each year.

Volunteer requirements are mandated by the Diocese of Green Bay, and there are no exceptions.

We strongly encourage all parents to go through this process because opportunities to volunteer will come up quickly, and your name must be on our approved list.

The Diocese of Green Bay requires all volunteers to meet safe environment requirements. All volunteers must complete and have an approved background check every 4 years and complete online safe environment training and sign a Code of Conduct yearly. The Diocese of Green Bay is contracted with VIRTUS to comply with the USCCB Charter for the Protection of Children and Youth requirements in providing safe environments for all children and individuals at risk.

Please click on the link below to complete the requirements. Parents who are already VIRTUS trained and have a current background check need to log into their VIRTUS account to sign the annual Code of Conduct.
