Heavenly Father, teach me to pray with sincerity, not with empty words. Help me to forgive others as You have forgiven me. Provide for my daily needs and lead me away from all temptation. Always deliver me from evil, for You are glory and power forever. Amen.

PRINCIPAL'S LETTER

“Faith in action is love- and love in action is service.” St. Teresa of Calcutta


Dear Parents,


As we prepare to depart for spring break, I pray that you and your family have a wonderful time away from campus. If you are travelling, I hope you have safe travels. When we return to campus, we will be starting the 4th quarter of the school year.


It is important that we all continue to follow the expectations related to safety when bringing our children to campus each day. All drivers are expected to use extra caution when entering and exiting our property. Parents are encouraged to drop-off using the carline. The appropriate drop-off location is between the pavilion and the gym.


Parents walking students to the building must park in front of the Grace Building or in the lot next to the Hope Building. Please walk your child to ensure that he or she gets to their academic building door safely. Students must be accompanied by an adult while walking in the parking lots. The parking area at the back of the school is reserved for faculty and staff. This is not a designated drop-off zone.


Thank you for following these expectations and helping to ensure that all our students arrive to campus safely. For more information, please refer to pages 7-8 of the handbook for the full policy: Holy Family Catholic School


God Bless,

Erin Vu

The Holy Family Advancement Office is now accepting orders for the Holy Family 25th Anniversary Commemorative book. As we mark the silver anniversary of our beloved school, we reflect with gratitude on the journey that has brought us to this milestone. Over the years, Holy Family has been more than just an educational institution; it has been a place where faith and learning intertwine, where students grow in knowledge, character, and faith.


Founded with a vision to provide an environment where Catholic values and academic excellence thrive together, we have seen countless students, parents, and educators come together in service of a common mission: to form young hearts and minds to serve God and others. Each chapter of our story is filled with moments of joy, growth, and challenges that have shaped our community into what it is today—a vibrant, supportive, and faith-filled family.



This keepsake book will serve as a historical account of the creation of our beautiful school. It was lovingly created by Holy Family's first Principal Falba Turner, and founding parent, Emily Hurlimann, and edited by Holy Family teachers Lisa Dailey and Cammy Phelan, and Communications Director Susan Laielli.
