Spiritual Life

The religious goals of Holy Family Catholic School are to:

- Develop in each student, the knowledge of a loving God

-Develop within each student, an appreciation of the Mass, Sacraments, Scriptures, Service, and Prayer as vital and beautiful expressions of Christian life

-Guide each student in developing religious values including the realization that actions of love toward others are a means of expressing God's presence in self and others

Prayer Life at Holy Family Catholic School

HFCS students begin each day with the Children’s Daily Prayer outside as a whole school during good weather. In the winter we pray in the gym. Prayers are also said before and after lunch, and at the end of each school day.

“It is essential to begin the practice of prayer with a firm resolution of persevering in it.”
—St. Teresa of Avila

School Masses

Each week we celebrate Mass as a school (Kindergarten-8th grade). Masses are held across the street at Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM). Twice a year we celebrate Mass in downtown Grand Junction at St. Joseph Catholic Church. We celebrate a very special mass at St. Joseph's for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It features the Azteca dancers. We also go to St. Joseph Catholic Church. Parents drop their students off at St. Joseph's before Mass and a school bus brings them back to Holy Family.

It is always a treat when Bishop Stephen Berg visits Grand Junction, as he always makes time to celebrate Mass with us and visit our campus.

Since the pandemic, we have had some of school Masses outdoors.
