History & Beliefs

Since the 1950s, Lower Bucks County has a rich history of providing a high-quality, faith-based education to the large Catholic population of the community..

In July, 2014, the Immaculate Conception Parish and Queen of the Universe Parish merged to form the new Queen of the Universe Parish, and St. Joseph the Worker Parish and St. Frances Cabrini Parish merged to become the new St. Frances Cabrini Parish. Today, the school is sponsored by these two parishes.

September, 2023 marks the beginning of our 14th year as Holy Family Regional School.

We believe:

• Our Catholic Christian values permeate our school and all subject areas.
• Our students will develop a love and knowledge of God through the sacraments and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
• Mass attendance, prayer and other liturgical activities enrich the lives of everyone in our school community.
• Our school provides an academically excellent education empowering students to develop their unique spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and cultural potential.
• Our school is a physically and emotionally safe place where every individual is welcomed, loved, respected, and appreciated.
• Peer abuse (also referred to as bullying) is inappropriate and unacceptable in our school.
• Educating our children is the shared responsibility of teachers, parents, and the entire school community.  Parental involvement and consistent, respectful communication between home and school are essential for a child to thrive.
• Our Code of Conduct guides the students in making age-appropriate decisions.  Parental support of this Code, including consequences for poor choices, is essential for personal growth and the good order of the school.
• The school, in collaboration with parents, assists in the formation of a student’s character as they experience life’s successes and challenges.
• We seek to form lifelong learners who endeavor to use their God-given gifts in service to others and their communities.
