A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal
Hello Crusader Families!
We have had a very short week with the holiday on Monday and the severe weather days Tuesday and today, but it was still a fabulous week, as always, at Holy Name. Next week is Catholic Schools Week and we have many fun activities planned to celebrate our Parishes, Community, Staff/Faculty, Nations, Vocations, Students, and Families. Please see the CSW flyer that was shared last Friday in the Newsletter, and again today, for more details on each day. I was able to add a K9 Unit Demonstration to Celebrating our Community on Monday. A big thanks goes out to Captain Austin Young with Escanaba Public Safety for making this event possible.
Another exciting new opportunity we have for our current Holy Name Families is that during the week of Catholic Schools Week you can register your children for the 2026-2027 school year for only $25!! This opportunity is only available January 25th-January 31st and only for current Holy Name Families. Starting February 1st, enrollment will be open to the public and registration fees will increase to $100. I pray that you will take advantage of this opportunity. Not only will registering early save you money, but it will also help us plan for teachers, curriculum, budgets, and more for the 26-27 school year. It might seem like next school year is a long way away, but planning and preparation for next year is already beginning.
I pray that you all stay warm and safe this weekend. Please pray for those that are less fortunate than us and who do not have shelter from the cold.
God bless,
Mrs. Brief 😀
A “Viau” from the Headmaster:
Hello Crusader Family!
With Monday being a holiday and Tuesday a snow day, it’s been a quiet week at the high school! We had one full day of school with all of our students on Wednesday and that evening 19 of our students left to attend the March for Life in Washington D.C. with Fr. Ryan Ford and the Yoopers 4 Life. Please keep them all in your prayers as they experience this life changing event and stand for the right to life of all human beings, from conception to natural death.
Next week is Catholic Schools Week and we have a slate full of wonderful things planned to celebrate being part of our wonderful Catholic School!
Stay warm, everyone!
Have a fantastic weekend!
God Bless,
Mrs. Viau

Dear Families of Holy Name,
We are having a strong start to the school year. The
students have been welcoming to me and my family. It has been a pleasure
getting to know everyone.
Holy Name exists to help you form your child into a disciple
of Jesus. This week celebrated St. Monica and St. Augustine. If you
do not know their story, St. Monica was the mother of St. Augustine. St.
Augustine did not lead a virtuous life. The Chesterton students read
about his conversion in his book entitled Confessions. His
mother prayed for him for 27 years before he came to a place
where he reformed his life and surrendered it to Jesus. Because we live
in a fallen world, we tend to fill our hearts with things of this world and not
the eternal grace through Jesus. You can name the counterfeit things of
this world that get in the way of loving Jesus: gambling, drugs, alcohol,
pornography, compulsive shopping, too many cookies… EVERYONE has something.
My encouragement is to fill your heart with the things that
last. Begin each day with prayer and ask God to fill your heart.
Attending Mass on Sunday is a beautiful way to receive Jesus in the
Eucharist and in the Word. Filling your heart with Jesus is the only way
to true peace and joy. St. Augustine’s conversion came through a mother
that cared enough to pray and sacrifice for him. She wanted what was best
for him and saw he was on a destructive path. How beautiful that they are
both saints in the church.
As you fill your own heart, I encourage you to pray for your
child and bring them with you to Mass. If you have been away for a while
or are feeling uncertain, please reach out to Fr. Tim or one of our priests.
God is not far away. In fact, He is right here waiting for you.
Our Father is all merciful and wants to spend time with the children he
created, loves, and delights in.
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
Peace and joy,
Nathan Vande Hey
