Welcome back to school, Saints! ⚜️💙 HFCA has more than doubled in number with additional classrooms for preschool and fourth grade. More students means more souls to tend, nurture, and grow.

Our theme for this year is “Rooted in Christ, Growing in Virtue.” We pray that every student, faculty, staff, and family member may remain rooted in Jesus to grow an abundant life of virtue.

👀 Scroll through to see the group of students who asked Fr. Steve to help them jump to the heights!

And please keep our school, our students, faculty and staff in your prayers 🙏⚜️

Deo gratias!

“Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” -Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬

Pray for Fr. Steve as we hear his surgery went well and he is recovering now! Come Holy Spirit, fill Fr. Steve with your graces 🙏

*Update* Fr. Steve is home and resting!

Please join us in praying for Fr. Steve as he undergoes hip replacement surgery today.

Loving and gracious God,

We entrust Fr. Steve into Your caring hands as he prepares for surgery today.

Grant him peace of mind and calmness of heart. Guide the hands of his doctors and all who will care for him, that they may be instruments of Your healing grace.

Surround him with Your presence, strengthen him through this time, and bring him safely through surgery to a full and speedy recovery.

We thank You for his faithful service to our parish and ask that You bless him with comfort, strength, and renewed health.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thank you for keeping Fr. Steve in your prayers throughout the day.

What is Classical Education?

Classical Education is rooted in a philosophical and theological understanding of the human person.

The goal of Classical education is not simply the transmission of facts or skills; it is the formation of the whole child.

When you step onto our campus, a world of discovery unfolds—alive with wonder, fueled by a love of learning, and shaped by students boldly seeking truth.

See for yourself what a difference Classical Education makes. Schedule a free tour at HolyFamilyNiceville.org. We look forward to meeting you!

Every week at Holy Family, we introduce a specific virtue, guiding students in both its meaning and its practice. Like a seed, our students discover the good within themselves and nurture it so it grows.

“The workload is academically challenging, but it’s to a level where she feels like she can succeed and also be pushed.” -Brittany Steigner, HFCA Parent

At its heart, a classical education teaches students how to think, not just what to think. Through great books, rich discussions, strong academics, and an emphasis on virtue, students learn to reason well, communicate clearly, and pursue truth, goodness, and beauty in all areas of life.
