Principal Sharkey is continuing to pursue options for After School Care. We recognize the importance of having reliable options for families who depend on this service for their children. We are grateful for your patience and support as we work toward finalizing details.

Holy Family students in kindergarten through eighth grade will be traveling to St. Jude Parish on Thursday morning to attend an All School Mass at 9 AM. Universal Permission Forms have been submitted by parents for all students. Please contact the office with any questions. As always, parents are welcome to join us for Mass!

Start planning your trunk for our annual Trunk Or Treat event on Monday, October 30, from 5 PM - 6:30 PM! Participation costs $5 per family whch covers your trick-or-treaters. Dinner will be availalbe to purchase, and the best trunk will win a prize. Our friends from Lion's Mouth Bookstore will be hosting a pop-up shop in the social hall. It's going to be spooktacular!

Lion's Mouth Bookstore Pop-Up Shop

Lion's Mouth Bookstore will have a pop-up shop this year at Trunk or Treat! After you go around to all of the trunks make sure to come into the cafeteria, grab some food, and head over to the shop! They will have books and games for all ages and the best part is that they give a percentage of the sales back to the school! Contact noah@lionsmouthbookstore.com with any questions. See you there!

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.
