Faith Formation
Our Mission
Holy Family Catholic School educates students to achieve academic excellence while becoming disciples of Jesus Christ and leading lives rooted in faith, community, service, and excellence.
As a ministry of Holy Family Catholic Church, our mission extends beyond academic achievement. We are committed to forming the whole child—spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically—through an authentic Catholic education centered on Christ.
Catholic education is at the heart of the Church’s mission and flourishes through the partnership of families, parish, and school. We strive to provide meaningful encounters with Christ through the celebration of the sacraments, prayer, worship, service, and the study of Catholic teaching. Faith is not simply a subject we teach—it is a way of life that is lived, celebrated, and shared each day.
Our faculty and staff serve as Christian witnesses, modeling Gospel values and inspiring students to grow in faith, integrity, compassion, and leadership.
Living Our Faith

Prayer & Worship
Prayer is woven throughout every school day. Students participate in:

These opportunities help students develop a lifelong love for the Eucharist and an active role in the life of the Church.
Faith in Action
At Holy Family, faith comes alive through service. Students are encouraged to recognize Christ in others and respond with compassion, generosity, and love.
Throughout the school year, students and families participate in meaningful service projects that support both our local community and organizations around the world.
Local service opportunities include partnerships with Holy Family Parish ministries such as:
- The Giving Bank
- Intergenerational Art Program
- Ministry to the Elderly
- Parish outreach initiatives
Students have also supported organizations including:
- Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
- Make-A-Wish Foundation
- Order of Malta
- Ronald McDonald House Charities
By serving others, students learn that discipleship is lived not only through prayer, but through acts of kindness, compassion, and justice.
Virtue Education
Recognizing that faith is nurtured through consistent practice, Holy Family Catholic School incorporates virtue education into every grade level. Each class focuses on age-appropriate virtues that encourage students to grow in character, integrity, respect, responsibility, compassion, and perseverance.
Through prayer, worship, the sacraments, service, and virtue formation, Holy Family students learn to become faithful disciples who lead lives centered on Christ and dedicated to serving others.
