Principal's Corner
Dear parents and guardians,

We can all celebrate the fact that we are in our fifth week of school! 

Again Jesus spoke to them,saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” (John 8). I find the promise of this Gospel in the reawakening of Holy Family this school year. The hibernating school has come alive after the COVID winter in which it seemed that everything was grey and asleep. Our school has once again become filled with the color and vibrancy of life: learning, playing, growing, worshiping and celebrating. What was once so dull and cold has come alive once again; this is your school.

Education gives us hope for rejuvenation in our own lives as well. Let no darkness determine our fate. Each moment, each day is a gift to create and re-create.
God Bless,
Mr. Aubert

Advertise in the Family Directory

Every school year, HFCS compiles each family’s contact information in a Family Directory. Only family's who gave consent while completing the online registration will have their information printed in the directory. Included in this directory are class lists and faculty and staff contact information.

The cost of printing this directory is sponsored by HFCS families who buy spots to advertise. We anticipate the directory to be ready for distribution in October.

For information on placing an ad or business card in the HFCS Family Directory, click HERE.
