Alumni News and Events
What's happening at HF?

Greetings, alumni! We hope this letter finds you well. In this newsletter, you'll find a special request from Father Mac, details on the upcoming NURSING reunion, ongoing ZUMBA classes, and other fun things happening at HF. Thanks for staying in touch with us. Don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do for you. 
Father Mac's Christmas Rose Challenge
One of our enduring traditions at HF throughout our history is the Christmas Rose. Over the years, it has been marked in many ways by so many students. 

During Family Weekend Mass, campus minister Father Mac challenged our alumni to connect with other alums, wherever you are in the world, to celebrate the Christmas Rose. This year's Christmas Rose is being held on Friday, December 5th at  Holy Family and we encourage you to plan a small gathering with fellow alumni on or around that date. 

Suggestions for your celebration: 
- have dinner together
- meet for a coffee
- see a show
- do a service project
- attend Mass
- Skype/Google chat with friends who are far away

There are endless ways to remember the story of the Christmas Rose and we hope you'll continue this tradition annually in your own way. 

Whatever you decide to do, we hope you'll send us a photo and the story of your celebration! Connect with us on social media or via email at alumni@holyfamily.edu. 

Did you know the Class of 1964 has been gathering for their own Christmas Rose dinner since their graduation? These women have been celebrating together on the first Saturday of December for over 50 years
