To Our Friends,

Summer is at last here and except for a few exams, the students are done. Now it is time for rest and restoration, for vacation and play and for preparation for next year. Summer is not without its dangers as we well know. So encourage your children to remember that school is on holiday, it has not disappeared; that goodness knows no season but is always active; that God shows his love just as much when they are enjoying fine weather and free time, as when they are studying and that sin is no obstacle to His mercy.

Charles Wesley in the hymn “O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” writes the following line- ‘He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the captive free’  and ‘Jesus the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease”   Two sentiments that sum up how I want my summer to be, forgiven, free, fearless and without sorrow. May all of you have a similar summer and until we meet again- May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Thank you for such a good year!

Dear Friends,

Well the world didn’t end this weekend, so I better write something! Now, if you knew the world was going to end in a few days what would you do?  Would you spend all of your money? Visit great places, reconcile with estranged loved ones? There is a lot we could do but it does make me think of a story I once heard.  A saint was playing a game with some Brothers. One put forward the question, “If you knew you were to die in the next half hour, what would you do?  “I would run to the chapel,” said one. “I would go to confession,” said another, “I would kneel down and pray the rosary” said the last. The Saint had not spoken so they asked, “Father, what would you do?”

The Saint looked at them and replied, “We are here to play a game. It is what we are supposed to be doing. When the Master comes I want Him to find me doing what I am supposed to be doing, so I will keep playing the game.”

Ultimately what matters most is whether we are doing what God wants or not. For students this week I am certain it is God’s will that they study and prepare as best they can for finals. So to all you students and families- Go For It!

Dear Parents and Friends,

Tomorrow is Graduation and last night was the annual Senior Banquet. I had the privilege of speaking to the assembly and would like to summarize my thoughts for all of you.

St Paul states in 1 Corinthians 13 that without love I am nothing. It is clear that the only true measure of success is whether or not we do our actions with love.  For love transcends the human experience and brings us toward the divinity that we are as Children of God. So whether one becomes a father or a mother, or a doctor, or a lawyer, or a builder, or a landscaper, or a farmer etc. it is not what we do that makes us a success but how we do it. What is lacking in this world is not good work, but love. Yesterday my son received his first Holy Communion and as we prepared to leave for church I bent down to tie his shoes. I did not tie his shoes simply because they were untied or I was afraid he would trip but rather because they are my sons shoes; my son whom I love. What made Blessed John Paul great was not because he was Pope but rather, because his actions bespoke love. What made Mother Theresa a saint was how she took care of the people of Calcutta. She differed from other social workers in that she cared for the dying with love. Love can be defined as the self less desire for the good of another. So “Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God.  Anyone that loves knows God."

In addition we are also called to give witness, for we go forth into this world as ambassadors of Christ. We are members of his family, we are sons and daughters of God and as such we need to make sure that we are honorable representations of the family of God. So we need to be the best in whatever task we choose, we need to excel in what ever job we take,  for if we do it in love, then we will know, as Scripture says, in Christ our labor is not in vain.

To all the graduates of Holy Family High School I say congratulations. You have been wonderfully trained and prepared and now it is your turn to use what you have been given. May God bless you and prosper all the good you do. May Christ inspire every action and may you listen to Him who walked on water, raised Lazarus from the dead and is the very Lord of Glory.

Dear Parents and Friends,

Next week is an important one for many of our students, actually about 25% of them.  On Wednesday at 10 AM they will, for the first time, march down the path into the newly renovated Mike G. Gabriel Stadium to their seats, waiting to receive their diplomas and officially end their High School years. It is an awesome achievement and one that is shared by many, especially the students themselves.

While we have had the graduations in the gym we decided to try outside for several reasons. The stands can seat as many as the gym, and we have extra seating on the stadium floor and the hillside has been landscaped into steps which can fit additional seats. This allows you to bring a chair with a back, something not possible in the gym.   Mornings in the spring in Colorado are generally fair and mild and the backdrop of the lake in one direction and the mountains in the other should be lovely.  

For the handicapped and elderly we are reserving parking by the baseball field and we will have golf carts available to bring you closer to your seats.  The stadium is handicapped accessible.

In the event the weather is doubtful we will place a phone call at 8 AM stating the graduation will be inside and delayed to 12 noon. The students who are not graduating are invited to come to the ceremony but not required.  

Please keep the seniors in your prayers. It is a great and terrible thing to finish high school and start your adult life. (As we all remember, perhaps all to well!)  They will need our guidance, our love and probably some of our cash; mostly they need God’s grace. He who guides the birds of the air, who directs flowers to grow and fish to swim, will guide our children if they let Him. May they do so.

Dear Friends,

Unlike many of you I watched the Twin Towers burn on Sept. 11, 2001 and could smell the smoke from my house. I watched in sadness the wreck and devastation that was wrought by one man’s evil vision and by those willing to carry it out. I drove supplies up the NJ Turnpike to those working at ground zero and prayed fervently for the souls of those who died. I also taught students whose parents where killed in the attack.  So when I say I am glad Osama Bin Laden was finally brought to justice and that President Obama and the military did their jobs well, I mean it.

However, the biggest news of the last few days was not the death of Osama, or the wedding of the Royals but the Beatification of John Paul the Great.  Here was a man whose vision brought life, not death; who filled those around him with love not loathing and whose life has been a source of blessing. When he visited Denver in 1993, I was at Mile High Stadium and chanted with the crowd, “John Paul II we love you!” and to this day I can hear in my mind the Polish Popes accented voice chanting back to us, “ John Paul II, he loves YOU!” and realizing it was the truth.  In the final result it will not be hate and fear which conquers the world, but love.  May we all teach our children that while we must confront evil and seek justice we are set free by the love of Christ.

Next week I will have more to say about graduation and the end of the school year but for today I will end with these words of Scripture, “In

Dear Friends,

Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ was Risen from the Dead! And although many eons have passed the power of that resurrection remains undiminished. In the end all of our children will stand before the judgment seat of God and behold Christ in his entire splendor. At that critical stage, that final exam, they shall receive the just reward for the life they have lived.   It is our duty to make certain they know their faith and are given the tools to succeed in life. With both they can live up to the potential that God made them for.

Happy Easter!

From the Principal’s Desk 1.25

Dear Friends,

As we near the great feast of our Faith, I am aware of the many and varied blessings that cause me to be grateful. For the salvation won for us on Calvary I am eternally thankful. For giving the world enough time for myself and my family to be born and baptized, I am eternally thankful. For the great company of witnesses I am daily surrounded by I am thankful and for this school where we can fearlessly proclaim that, as John 3:16 states, “ For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” I am thankful forever!

May all of you have a Blessed Triduum and an Easter Season filled with God’s grace.

Dear Parent and Friends,

Last week Holy Family was privileged to have Tom Monaghan speak to the Seniors and Juniors. Mr. Monaghan is the founder and former owner of Domino’s Pizza, former owner of the Detroit Tigers (he owned them when they won the World Series) and the founder and Chancellor of Ave Maria University near Naples, Florida.  He spoke about losing his Father when he was 6 and spending 6 years in orphanages, of failing in many ways before becoming one of the richest men in the nation. He spoke of having everything, 242 classic cars, a fleet of helicopters and planes, yachts, homes etc. and of the realization that he didn’t need it and it was just pride. So he sold everything and has been using his wealth to build the kingdom of God. An amazing story of a man who found putting God first makes all the difference.  The whole story of Tom Monaghan is long and involved yet I think the students had a chance to see who he is.

With no small satisfaction I should relate that the loudest cheer the students gave Mr. Monaghan was not for his wealth or success but rather when he mentioned that in August he and his wife will celebrate their 49^th wedding anniversary.

I am happy to relate that Prom and After- Prom went off quite well thanks to the hard work and vigilance of many of the staff and parents. To all of you I must say Thank You!  

God bless, Easter is coming but we are not done yet!

From the Principal’s Desk 1.23

Dear Parents and Friends,

Lent is in full swing and it often leaves me thinking about the future. Kids, and adults, often fear the future. They worry about the test, the dance, the meeting and the bills. They are ‘concerned’ about what college they will be going to and what Mom and Dad will think. Are they going to find a date, are they going to have a good career; the list is endless.

We of course are not alone in this experience. Even Christ was apprehensive about His future. In the Garden he was plainly suffering; what He did we also should do. When life is rearing its ugly head, and things look doubtful, pray and then do what you must.  Jesus knows what you are going through, He knows what you need and in the final analysis He will be the one who will provide what you need.  It may be hard but we are comforted to know that after every Good Friday, there is Easter.

Finally, I recently heard a talk by Immaculée Ilibagiza, a Rwandan survivor of the genocide that occurred in 1994. She described that what enabled her to survive was the Rosary and her Catholic faith. I would encourage all of you to learn more about this amazing woman and her story. Her website is http://www.immaculee.com/

From the Principal’s Desk 1.22

Dear Friends,

A couple of interesting notes to share, a study on marriage recently concluded that the best indicator of whether or not a child is going to be successful in life, work and faith is their degree of education. (First Things, March 2011).  Of course statistics have their limitations, they can more easily tell us what a 100 people will do, and nothing about what one person can do. I firmly believe that if we at the high school work in conjunction with the parents of our students, then they will have the greatest chance of being successes. The greatest success of all is to be a saint. In fact in the final analysis it is the only success worth talking about.

That brings me to my second point; Tonight Dr. Frank Gumerlock is going to speak about St. Augustine in the library at 7 PM.  The rosary will be said before the talk at 6:30 PM.  All are welcome and encouraged to come. We will be posting the talks on line shortly after they are given.

Finally, we had a pep-rally Monday to celebrate the amazing season of the Girls Basketball Team and their 4^th ‘annual’ State Championship. Many of you did not get the message about the pep-rally and I must take the blame for that, because of a miscommunication the announcement never was sent. Mea Culpa.

I hope and pray lent is going well,

As usual any questions, comments, cares or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

From the Principal’s Desk 1.21

The glorious season of lent, the great time of prayer and fasting, is finally upon us. Lent is one of those things that while in the midst of it I find it a valuable source of blessing; and when Easter comes, I am happy!

The Lenten series on the saints continues tonight with Peter Galmish talking about GK Chesterton. It begins at 6:30 with the rosary in the chapel and the talk is given at 7 p.m. in the library. I would encourage all to come and be inspired. If you can not make the rosary please at least come for the talk.

In our life there is truly only one measure of success, whether or not we become saints. Studying the lives of the saints helps us realize they are like us in so many ways and yet they found a way to achieve the goal. May your lent be a blessed one and may you someday see God face to face.

From the Principal’s Desk 1.20

Happy Mardi Gras!

Finally, Lent is upon us, the great season of Prayer and Self Denial; a great opportunity for all of us to focus on our spiritual journey allowing us to consider our final destination. Sirach says, “Remember your final end and you will not sin”.   In much the same way we ask our students to study and practice all semester for their final exams, so we must study and practice for ours.  Self denial, a hallmark of Lent, helps us realize we are not slaves to our senses but masters. We find with such amazement that we don’t need that donut, or candy; that we will not die if we fast. We find out that extra prayer is like fast acting medicine for the soul. It is a wonderful experience…if we want it. So many things are offered to us by God. We must decide to choose them.

I have often thought Easter is best celebrated when we have spent a good amount of time preparing during Lent.  A good way to do this is to join us for the 2^nd annual Lenten Series, starting this Wednesday with the rosary at 6:30 p.m. followed by a talk at 7 p.m. with discussion following. This year we are studying the life of the saints. I get to start the ball rolling with St. Athanasius. I urge you to come, young and old, to be inspired by the saints of old.

Greetings Friends,

No doubt we are all aware that the Oscars were awarded the other night. The winner for Best Picture, The King’s Speech shows us what the role and limitations of a good teacher are. A good teacher guides a student, sometimes uncomfortably, to help them achieve. A good teacher instructs, cajoles, and encourages a student, but the achievement, or failure, is the students. We can help our children; we can not do it for them. This is true is all aspects of life, and of salvation. No one can be saved by our merits. It is their choice. As the saying goes, “God doesn’t have any grandchildren, only children.” We can bring our children to the faith but they must choose it for themselves.

In the end that is the best, we can not force a student to learn, we can not save their soul, when a student learns and when a soul is saved, many may have helped but the glory is the students alone. They achieved because of us, but it is their victory we share.  Would we want it any other way?  May we share in many, many victories!

Supplement- For Teachers

We teachers are privileged in that we get to work with human lives. We get to mold the future and in many ways, indelibly mark it. Every interaction with a student can lift them up to heights they would never have even dreamed of, or help thrust them into depths unimaginable. In either case the student makes the decision, we just aid.  When I walk through this building I so often see teachers lifting student’s spirits, challenging them, and inspiring. It is part of what makes Holy Family a great place. Are we perfect, alas no (see the beginning of this note) but we strive to be. As it is said of Saints, they were not perfect, but everyday tried to be.

Lets strive to be Saints,

Dear Friends,

Hilaire Belloc a noted English author once stated the following:

I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.

High School can often be one or the other, a distraction or a fulfillment; the experience is the same, the mental attitude is the defining characteristic. Which one our children choose is of course their choice, however we can help them understand the value of what they are learning by asking them what is going on in class, what they have learned, how they have been challenged. I do not just mean the “How was your day?” queries but more involved comments about the subject matter etc.  Asking a student to recall what they learned in foreign language or math class not only helps them understand the importance of the subject matter but also helps the student recall the material. So encourage your student to discuss what they have learned, it will make the learning more effective and hopefully add to the quality of your dinner conversation.

Thank you for your support, and if you have anything to ask, or comment on please do not hesitate.

God bless

Dear Parents and Friends,

I think I am not alone in enjoying the break from the bitter cold and snow we have been having. It is a blessed relief not to worry about snow days and delays, at least for now. This gives us an opportunity to remind our students that all of life’s crosses and trials come to an end. It seems that truly it is darkest before dawn. The storm is fiercest just as it ends.  One of the graces we are taught to pray for is the grace of perseverance, so that when life’s storms come we can see them to the end.  When students confront a particularly daunting assignment, a paper, a project, a test or the like, they often feel the storm clouds gathering and night closing in. This is when we get the chance to remind them the truth of what we know.  It is often the first steps that are the most difficult.

The following is a favorite poem of my father; I believe it states the case well.

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Well, after weeks of no snow, another storm,  but I will not dwell upon that, instead, I would like to draw your attention to Parent Teacher conferences that are scheduled for next week. Conferences are a great time to briefly speak to your child’s teacher and gain some insight to what is going on in their class. The times are listed in this email. While there is no appointment necessary, it is advisable to try to come as early as possible.

Last week was Catholic Schools week.  It is good every now and again to focus on the great things that are done in Catholic Schools.  Your choice to send your child to Holy Family guarantees they will have a chance to experience not only a full college preparatory education but also first class Catholic theology.  We want our graduates to be the best prepared students west of the Mississippi and we are happy to have you partner with us in that task. If you ever see ways we can improve please do not hesitate to contact us.

Greetings on this cold day!

Just a quick note about today! We are blessed to be able to offer instruction today and to continue our work of bringing understanding and the knowledge of God’s creation to your children. So why are we open when other schools are closed?  The answer is simply; we don’t use buses.

This means we don’t have students standing at bus stops waiting in the cold, and we don’t have to keep the buses running.

I am glad that we have the ability to offer instruction to students today instead of focusing on those issues however I can not know all of the road conditions in all of the areas we come from which is why I wanted to remind everyone that it is their prerogative to allow their children to come to school or to keep them home.

Thanks for supporting us at the school. May God bless you in all your endeavors!

From the Principal’s Desk 1.14

Let me start by stating our firm and unwavering commitment to building a Culture of Life, as Venerable John Paul the Great urged us. In a country that can not even protect the lives of the unborn it is all the more necessary for us to do so.  Holy Family High School in all of its activities strives to embrace and celebrate the gift of life that God has graced us with and to teach others to do the same, so that someday a human life will be cherished by all and protected by law from conception until natural death. Oh Lord, may that day soon come!

The annual Sadie Hawkins dance was held last Friday and it was a great success. I want to thank the Parents who helped us and also tell you the students behaved great. When everyone comes to have a good time and to follow the guidelines of the event the results are inevitably great! Our next dance is the Prom and I will be sending out more involved instructions shortly. If you are thinking about buying a dress, please wait until we get a chance to send out our expectations.

Kairos is going on this week so please keep all the participants, and the adults, in your prayers.

Please note the advertisement for Camp Wojtyla (John Paul II Polish name) which is attached to this note. It is an opportunity for your student to grow in their faith and to have a valuable outdoors experience, and have a lot of fun.

Dear Friends,

As is our tradition, we are once again excited to announce the 2011 Lenten Series-

Conversion Stories; The Saints and Our Kids

These talks are designed to help in the evangelization of our children, to bring them to know Christ better.  Passing on our faith is the greatest task we have as parents as it was for our parents and theirs. In its truest sense, conversion is a personal event; all of us must at some time decide to follow Christ. We can lead our children to the waters of faith; they must decide whether to drink. We do realize that thirsty children tend to drink most deeply.   

The Saints are given to us by God so that we can have hope. They all were children once, they all struggled to find God and they all did extra-ordinary things with the ordinary lives they were given. It is my most fervent hope that all of my children become Saints. I hope you feel the same.  

We will spend each week examining a saint’s life, finding out where they struggled, how they succeeded and what real world lessons we can draw from them.

March 9           St. Athanasius                                   Mr. Timothy Gallic

I hope you can make it and please spread the word;

All are welcome, student and parent alike!

From the Principal’s Desk 1.12

We made it through Christmas and lo and behold, snow arrives! From all reports it seems that all the students arrived safely. As you can imagine calling a snow day or a late start is a difficult decision that must be made in the early morning hours; I make the best decision I can with the information I have.

As the second semester is underway I wish to urge you to have your students avail themselves of the opportunity they have to receive extra help from the teachers. Each and every day from 2:25 until 2:45 we have access and additionally teachers are available until 3 PM if they are needed further. The National Honor Society has student tutors who are available for tutoring. They have had historically excellent results please do not hesitate to use them.

Our goal is the education of the whole person and as part of that I want to remind all that mass is said Monday through Thursday at 7:20 AM in our chapel and Father Gabriel is available for confession.

Finally, thank you for choosing Holy Family for your child.

From the Principal’s Desk 1.11

Happy New Year! And Merry Christmas (still!)

I hope and trust you all had a great break and are as excited as we are to have the students back in the building. It has been a blessed time celebrating and now it is time to get back to work. I thought I would start the New Year talking briefly about the date of graduation.  We were confronted with several time constraints in selecting graduation, the league track and field meets, as well as the senior exams are the week before graduation. From Thursday May 19 through Saturday May 21 are the state track finals. This means that if we schedule a Thursday or Friday graduation we will eliminate some of the students from attending. Additionally as the class size is larger this year than in the last several we are finding the gymnasium rather full and although we can have graduation there it is not ideal. Spring mornings in Colorado are generally mild and fair and an outside graduation can be a lovely experience, having it during daylight hours also makes it easier to navigate the walkways. In short our preference would not be to have it in the middle of the week but unless we want to forgo the state track meet we have little choice.  

Thank you for your support of Catholic education in general and this school in particular.

May God bless you and your families during the remainder of the Christmas Season and the entire year

From the Principal’s Desk 1.10

As this year draws to an end, and as the students study and take their exams, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  We will all enjoy a good break, see family and friends and experience that particular joy which Christmas brings. The school will not be silent during that time and when we all return for the spring semester the gym will have a fresh coat of wax and look awesome.

Of course we are not over just yet, so please encourage your students to be diligent to the end, after all it isn’t just Santa who is watching!

We are blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives and this school is no exception. We are blessed to have you in our lives. You honor us by trusting us with your children; enabling us to help you impart the great gifts of knowledge and understanding. Most of all you let us join you in imparting our faith with this next generation.

Thank you and (again) Merry Christmas!

From the Principal’s Desk 1.9

The first semester draws to a close and for all their actions the students must now reap the reward. For most it will be a happy occasion and for some a more challenging one. One of the benefits of school in general is that it reminds us of our Day of Judgment when we shall be called upon to give and account of our lives. Fortunately, semester grades are not anywhere near the same level as our final exam!  Advent helps us understand how great it is that after so long a wait the Messiah comes and gives us the chance to accept some divine ‘extra credit’ !

You may have noticed we do not have a Crèche set up at school. We had commissioned one to be made and the order was not filled however we did not find out until after it was too late to get another one. We will make sure we have one by next Advent.

I hope you get a chance to join us tomorrow night for the Winter Concert at 7pm. It promises to be a wonderful performance with our very talented students. Come and see; go and tell!

I pray your Advent goes well and your preparation for Christmas is a peaceful one.

From the Principal’s Desk 1.8

May all of you have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving Day! On this day, as families gather to give thanks, may all of us be truly grateful for all who have gone before us. Our school and our faith did not start with us but came as a result of generations of faithful witness to the truth of God’s love for us in Christ Jesus.  Will the same be said of us someday? I sure hope so!

No doubt you have heard of the success of our tree and wreath fundraiser. Big thanks to all of you who helped especially Gloria Olson, Martin Barrett, Patty Gabriel and Marianne Alonzo.

Finally, one of the aspects of a truly Catholic school is that it celebrates with all the Christian Churches. Ecumenism is at the heart of our Church and recognizes what unites us is greater than what divides us. So it is with great joy that we can join with all our brothers and sisters in the Lord and thank Him for this country and all the blessings in it.

From the Principal’s Desk 1.7

As we deal with the first snowfall of the season please take a moment and make sure we have all of your contact information up to date. No one likes a call at 5:45 AM but it beats missing such a call and bringing your kids to a school that is closed because of the weather.  Also please remember delayed openings are to give your child more time to get to school, not to let them sleep in as they might suggest.

If you had a chance to see the play “You can’t take it with you” performed here at the high school you got to see a great performance. The Cast and the stage crew all did a great job getting the theater in shape as well as learning their parts. A big congratulation is in order for them.

We also have students who help run other activities, in particular I should mention the members of Student Council who recently assisted in Open House and the Ambassador’s Club who help us bring the good news about our school to future students.

As you may have heard we had to remove the old stage and are currently looking at alternatives for what we will replace it with; stay tuned we will have something shortly.

From the Principal’s Desk 1.6

The open house this past Sunday was a resounding success and I would like to thank both Eric Nakayama and Jennifer Wilcomb for all their work as well as all the staff and parents who helped. We know what a great treasure we have at the school; it sure is nice when we get a chance to show the rest of the community. Of course if you know anyone who missed the open house we are always available for tours or shadowing.

One thing I said to everyone at the open house, and it bears repeating, is that our goal at Holy Family is to treat each child as they deserve; as someone for whom God died. We are therefore committed to make sure each student is seen as an awesome Child of God whom we are pledged to work with to help them achieve their full potential.
