Participation in the Traditions of the Catholic
Church
Deriving its inspiration from the Holy Family
of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, the school strives to instill
the Christian values of holiness, the inherent dignity of
the person, and the necessity of the loving family as the
basic unit of a good society. These values of holiness,
dignity, and family form the foundation on which children
build healthy spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual
lives as adults and followers of Jesus Christ.
The community of Holy Family Academy (along
with the entire Catholic Church) has at the center of its
life the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
The frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is strongly
encouraged as a means of developing an ever-deeper relationship
with our Redeemer.
Spiritual formation is an integral part of
life at Holy Family Academy. Among the spiritual exercises
practiced in the school are: recitation of the Rosary, prayer
devotions, and participation in the liturgical seasons and
the annual cycle of Saints.
