Dear HFRCS Families,
We are approaching the exciting time of the school year; the end. It is exciting because we will have many celebrations, recognitions, and the turning of the page for our 8th graders. Let’s make sure we all take the time to enjoy and appreciate these moments.
Our May Procession is next Thursday, 5/2/24. This is a big mass for our 8th graders as they wear their robes and lead our other classes into the church. We will have a small procession of our students coming out of Degnan Hall, up the outside steps behind the church, and then into the church before mass at approximately 9:10am with mass beginning at 9:30am. All are welcome to attend the mass and to take pictures of the procession beforehand. Father Otto will be the celebrant and we will be recognizing students and a teacher for best exhibiting the virtue of faith in honor of Mary.
Thursday, 5/2/24, is also an 11:30am dismissal. Please make sure you are prompt with picking up your children as the teachers have a meeting after school.
We also have to shout out our Student Council Presidents Hailey L. and Harper D. and other members of the Student Council for providing lunchtime music and trivia with prizes. They even had the Holy Family Falcon stop by several times to visit the students.
We have some important announcements and updates below, so please make sure you take the time to read everything. Just another reminder that students can work on their i-Ready My Paths at home. This is a great opportunity for them to receive some extra instruction that is catered to their “glows” & “grows.” I am always happy to meet with any families who would like to discuss their child’s progress with the program.
As always, thank you for your support and dedication to Holy Family and catholic education. Our school would not be what it is without you, our amazing families.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Mr. Elia
St. Joe’s CYO Track
We are very proud of our student athletes! What a beautiful night for some Relays! St. Joe’s girls finally broke a minute finishing at 59:64 while the boys finished just over 55 seconds at 55:18. This is year 3 of participating in 'CYO Night' for the Catholic middle schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for the coaches.
Congrats to our very own student athletes on their outstanding effort!! Big shout out to the coaches Mr. & Mrs. Vivas, Mrs. McDermond, Mr. Costanzo, & Mrs. Troyan!

Spirit Stroll
Our annual Spirit Stroll was this past Friday, 4/19/24. The students wore their Spirit Stroll shirts proudly as they walked around our community. Another big shoutout to Andrew Four in 3rd grade who did an amazing job with designing our shirts this year!. Thank you to all our families and friends who were so patient and understanding with the new logistics and joined us on the walk. Another big thank you to HSA, Ms. Wylie, and Ms. Sweet for organizing this fundraising event! And most importantly, thank you to all of you for your support and hard work that made the Spirit Stroll a huge success with fundraising!!
COVID 19 Policy Update
At Holy Family, our number one priority will always be the safety of our students, staff, and families. After careful consideration and speaking with the archdiocese, we are moving forward with updating our COVID Policy. As of today, 3/15/24, our COVID policy is included with other respiratory illness procedures. They are as follows:
The person cannot return to Holy Family until he/she is fever free, without the use of fever-reducing medications, and their symptoms are improving overall.
Return dates and the enhanced precautions upon return would be determined and/or confirmed by our nurse.
