Holy Family Catholic School, South Pasadena CA

On December 12th we celebrate Las Mañanitas; the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe who appeared before St. Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill in Mexico in 1531, appearing as a woman clothed in a blue-green cerulean mantle, emblazoned with stars and standing on a crescent moon. She was wearing a black chord around her waist to indicate she is pregnant with Jesus. ¡Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe! Pope Francis has granted Catholics across the world a plenary indulgence as they celebrate Ou...r Lady of Guadalupe from home on Dec. 12, 2020. ___ O Immaculate Virgin, mother of the true God and mother of the Church, Mother of Mercy, teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice, to you we dedicate on this day all our being and all our love. We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our joys, our infirmities, and our sorrows. Grant peace, justice, and prosperity to our people, for we entrust to your care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother. Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, protect our families, so that they may always be united, and bless the upbringing of our children. Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the peace of God in our conscience, with our hearts free from evil and hatred, we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace, which come to us from your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen. - St. Pope John Paul II #hfsknights #weareholyfamilycatholicschool #hfsknightspride #holyfamilyprayforus #LACatholics #praytogether #praytherosary #angelusnews #catholicedla #lacatholicsbelieve #ourladyofguadalupe https://youtu.be/SuzmNKIZ5is

In turning on the light of our Holy Family Gathering Tree, we wish for the light of Christ to be in us. Let there be light in the soul, in the heart; let there be forgiveness to others; let there be no hostilities or darkness. Let there be the beautiful light of Jesus.... May there be light be in our hearts, in our families, in our cities. #hfsknights #weareholyfamilycatholicschool #hfsknightspride #holyfamilyprayforus #LACatholics #praytogether #praytherosary #angelusnews #catholicedla #lacatholicsbelieve See more

HFS OCTOBER OFRENDA CHALLENGE! Ordinarily our beautifully decorated traditional Ofrenda is on display at school thanks to our very own Maestra Aceves. However, as we are all at home, this year, the challenge is for you to create and display YOUR own family Ofrenda. The Day of the Dead is one of the most ubiquitous traditions of Mexican culture. The significance of the Ofrenda, is that it is left for the souls of the deceased to come back and be able to enjoy their worldly ple...asures once more. A typical ofrenda is a simple concept. It consists of a set of items that will identify the person to whom it is dedicated along with staples of the celebration. The items that identify the person will include photographs, personal items that belonged to them, but can also include food other than the traditional one which the person in question particularly enjoyed. Once your Ofrenda is complete, please email pictures to Mrs. Rodriguez ([email protected]) between now and Wednesday, October 14th. All pictures submitted will be part of the HFS Drive-in pre-movie on Friday, October 16. #hfsknights #hfsknightspride See more

Dear God, we remember before you today those whose lives were lost in the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001, and for all those whom we love but no longer see. We give thanks to you for the selfless courage of those brave souls who ran into burning buildings and who labored in the rubble; may their courage be to us a witness of what is possible when we are guided by love and dedication to our fellow human beings. We pray today for the continued healing of all those ...suffering emotional and physical scars. May your spirit breathe new breath into clouded lungs, new life into troubled minds, and new warmth into broken hearts, so that all may feel wrapped in your loving embrace. The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you, The Lord lift up His countenance upon you And give you PEACE! Numbers 6:24-26 #hfsknights #hfsknightspride See more
