Our Faith

Holy Family High School emphasizes the development of the whole person. We challenge each community member in the areas of religious educaton and of living out the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. There are many opportunities for students to become involved in ministry including participation in the Campus Ministry Club, the Liturgy Music Club and the Mission Club. Students may also serve as Eucharistic Ministers, lectors, and liturgy planners.

All students are required to take eight semesters of theology. Students are to fulfill the graduation requirement of community service through the Apostolic Ministry program.

Students are expected to volunteer and extend their talents outward through service opportunities within their families, environment, school community, parish, and the Denver metro area. Each grade level has a special area of ministry.

School-wide liturgies, prayer services, and the sacraments of reconciliation planned by our campus minister, students and faculty, enable community members to participate actively in the ministry of celebration. The Campus Ministry team, along with the student leadership, conducts the retreat programs for all levels of the school community.

In 1999 Holy Family High School moved from its Denver location to a new home at 144th and Sheridan in Broomfield in order to allow for much needed expansion. We continue to serve students from North Denver to Greeley, and Boulder to Keenesburg.
