Holy Spirit, I give You my heart and thank You for unending grace. I ask that You grant me the gift of piety, so that I may serve You with never-ending enthusiasm. Grant me the gift of strength, so that I may courageously overcome the trials of my life. Grant me the gift of counsel, so that I can grow in spirit. Grant me the gift of understanding and wisdom, so that I may rightly direct all my actions to serve You better. Amen

Angel Virtue Awards

In May, grades 2-4 focused on the virtues of loyalty and temperance. Grades 5-8 focused on loyalty, temperance, faith and hope. Each teacher in these grades chose students who modeled these virtues in an especially positive way. The following students were announced at Mass this morning. They were presented with a pin to wear on Mass days. Congratulations to our Angels!

ADVANCEMENT

Advancement Update

Thank you, Holy Family, for the gifts of your time, talent and treasure this year. While we will be sharing our year end financials and impact of your gifts to the school in our 2023-2024 Annual Report in September, I wanted to give you a quick snapshot of our successes.

Angel Fund annual appeal – To date we are at 102% of our $330,000 annual goal with 26% of our families having given to the appeal. In order to get to the NEXT level for our school, we will need EVERY families help in some way.  Siempre Adelante. Together, we will always move forward!

Run With The Angels – To date we have raised over $90,000 including our corporate matching gifts that are pending. Way to go ANGELS!!! 

Gala – Our fund a need total raised for transportation was over $90,000. Our first six passenger golf cart arrived today! Mr. Cullen and Mrs. Vu will be working on the van purchase over the summer. 



I look forward to sharing all of the phenomenal things that we are doing and will do because of our commitment to a culture of philanthropy.  

A RaiseRight tutorial packet was home with the oldest child earlier in the week. We encourage all families to read through it, register and consider using RaiseRight to support Holy Family over the summer.
