The past year has given us a new Bishop, one from a Stewardship
background personally, and his priestly life. I am excited to
consider the possibility of our parish growing even more as God's
Stewards under his leadership. I know many of you don't think about
all the stewardship growth in our Parish but from my viewpoint I
have seen lives changed completely through prayer and study,
involvement in parish activities, and generous use of our
individual resources for the benefit of others. As we grow into our
stewardship way of life we start to just know when we need to give
time to God, our friends, family and community and even when to
open up our wallet and just give. It becomes our nature, who we
are, everyday. We become a passionate loving people eager to do
God's work, always listening to our call. As you review the status
of our parish in this newsletter I hope you see yourself, but if
you don't, make a plan to open up and participate. I want to thank
all those who have served in our parish and continue to seek new
opportunities to fulfill their need to give. In 2019, we will offer
a new Parish Pictorial Directory, we are making plans for a Parish
Mission during Lent and we will continue to see Seasons of Hope
ministry grow in our community. As you hear about new things
happening I invite you to get involved. Blessings, DeAnne Wickens,
Stewardship Director
Holy Family School faculty and staff moves along and keeps
flexible using the saying "the only constant is change" as we begin
a new school year - 2018-2019. Each story about individuals who
left Holy Family School last Spring is about making new decisions
for their own personal goals. Remembering Mrs. Belinda Failor's 32
years of secretarial service, Mrs. Rochelle Neuman's 11 years of
driving back and forth from Quincy and having 2 babies while
serving HFS in middle school, Mr. Mark Hedges, custodian for 4
years and ready to spend time with his wife Gail, who was already
retired, ...and so life goes on with the gifts of new folks taking
on their positions this new school year. We have been blessed by
the service of these special people to Holy Family School. All
positions were filled with parishioners who take pride in serving
our parish school: Ms. Stevie Lee, secretary, Mrs. Karen Wetton -
middle school teacher, and Mr. Jamie Hoover, our custodian.
Speaking of “ stewardship,” I want to thank Mrs. Sara Hooley who
was the teacher liaison to the Parish Stewardship Committee and
welcome Mrs. Patti Babyak who is
beginning her two year liaison role between school and
Stewardship Committee. We encourage our families to be active
participants in their parish and school through the various
activities that brings life into our parish community. We graduated
22 eighth graders last May and have 25 enrolled this year!! We are
proud that 6 of the 22 graduates have pursued their High School
education at Quincy Notre Dame this year. The feedback we receive
from both schools (public and private) is that our graduates often
excel in High School, are very prepared and take on positive
leadership roles. This is very praise worthy feedback of our
teaching staff and the dedication from their parents to do their
best. Our teachers continue to engage in the latest technology.
Last year with a $10,000.00 matching grant we were able to buy 4
interactive flat panels for our classrooms. Each teacher has access
to a SmartBoard in their classroom. The age of technology keeps us
in competition with latest educational research that changes so
quickly. We continue to keep up by using our annual Action Funds to
address the educational edge that our students know so much more
about than our parents and grandparents. We will continue to assess
our teaching with resources that keep us preparing our students for
the latest strategies and skills. I know this is a new era for our
students and the future will not stand still. Our student
population is staying steady at 175. I am grateful that we could
welcome 20 new families this year. The comings and goings of our
student population is both a blessing and a “heart-felt” tug. We
hate to see our families leave due to changes in their lives:
graduation to High School, moving out of Hannibal, changes in
family needs. We love our family of intention and pray for another
successful school year. So many blessings due to our Parish
mission: having a Catholic School for its parish children. God
bless the work of our hands & hearts. Thank you for the gift.
Sincerely, Sister Betty Uchytil SSND, Principal
