Our Rams are on a mission to help HCS alumna Josephine Kline attend World Youth Day in Seoul, South Korea, in 2027!

We can tell you why we're excited to support Josephine, but we think her own words tell the story best. Take a moment to read what this pilgrimage means to her and why our Rams are so excited to help!

Through our Every Step, A YES! — Rams on a Mission fundraiser, HCS students are walking laps and completing PE challenges to help us reach our $5,000 schoolwide goal. Donations and sponsorship sheets are due Wednesday, November 11! Please join us in supporting Josephine through your generosity and prayers.

Her YES is her journey. Helping her get there is OUR mission!

Every Step. Every Student. Every YES.

This Month's Virtue

This month, our students are learning that Justice means treating God and every person with

the love, respect, and fairness they deserve because they are created in His image. As a family, we're inviting you to grow alongside your child by practicing one simple habit each day. Choose one way each day to help someone feel seen, valued, and included.

Our HCS Theme

See God's Image. Show Love, Respect, and Fairness.

🏡 This Month's Family Challenge

Invite someone. Who could use an invitation this week?

Maybe...• a neighbor • a grandparent • a new family • another student • someone sitting alone

Small invitations remind people they belong.

Fr. Tony would love nothing more than to see our church filled with the families he serves! We encourage all our HCS families to attend Mass on Sunday, October 25, and join us afterward for his Anniversary Open House from 1:00–4:00 PM at the Knights of Columbus. Everyone is welcome!

Let’s fill the pews, share some kindness, and make this a celebration Fr. Tony will never forget!

Fiat is a Latin word meaning “Let it be done.” These words reflect Mary’s response to God’s

plan for her life. Her faithful “yes” brought Jesus into the world and changed everything.
