Free Parent Event Featuring International Speaker

Please join us for an engaging and informative presentation on “Raising Resilient and Self-Reliant Children” with International Formation and Education Consultant, Sister Pat McCormack, IHM, EDD.

A self-reliant, resilient character is the by-product of daily life practices that nurture security, autonomy, initiative, and industry. When parents apply these practices with consistency, repetition, and continuity, positive identity formation takes root in the child. Over time resilience, self-reliance, and positive self-esteem evolve as byproducts.

This presentation will “unpack” these elements and communicate practical advice, gathered from parents of children in grades K-12 who were recognized for positive self-esteem and character.

This adult event is free of charge and will take place on Monday, January 15, at 6 p.m. at the St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in the Cathedral Center. The Center is located in the main Church building. Parking in the lot will be available. When you enter, please proceed up the stairs or elevator and the center is straight across. Wine and cheese will be served. All are welcome!

Holy Family Scientists Decode DNA

Mrs. Kottwitz’s middle school science class spent the afternoon decoding secret messages hidden in DNA, mRNA, and tRNA.

The clubs focus on team building, friendship, and service. Students are together daily for homeroom and study halls, but they also meet weekly to review the IB learner profile of the month, study skills, trust building activities, and even friendly compettions between clubs! The clubs were designed to get students out of their comfort zones and give them the opportunity to build connections beyond the classroom.
