Thank you so much for all of the food that you have donated. It is only because of your kindness and generosity that we can help those who come to us for assistance. What we really need now are gift cards to Supermarkets so that those who come to us can purchase perishable food as milk, eggs etc.
We also need Spring and summer clothes for girls, sizes 3, 6, 7 and 16- new or used but clean and in good
condition. Please call me at 499-8520 x 124 if you are able to assist these children who really need clothes.
May you experience the new life of the Resurrection. May you and your families have a happy and blessed
Easter. Thank and God bless you.

Here is what people in our community are saying about Holy Family Regional School:
PARENTS:
“We found Holy Family exceeded our academic, emotional and social expectations in a supportive,
encouraging environment. This is because the Principal and staff are knowledgeable, love their work
and care about every one of their children….I can recommend Holy Family because it has been an extraordinary experience for my family.” Sera L. Parent of a 4th grade child, St Joseph Parish, Kings
Park
“We felt such a sense of family & love at HFRS when searching for the right school to send our children. The academics exceed NYS standards and the friendships we have all made are truly special.” Christine W. Parent of children in 8th and 5th grades, Christ the King Parish, Commack
STUDENTS:
“I really like Holy Family Regional because of my “specials” classes and my teachers. My teachers
are very nice. It’s a great school because it doesn’t matter where you are from, they welcome everyone.” Luke C. 3rd grade, St. Joseph Parish, Kings Park
ALUMNI:
