In 1925, five valiant women possessing a simple and
sincere faith in God embarked on a great task. The city
of Bayonne was sorely in need of a Catholic high school
and the Sisters of St. Joseph created a secondary
institution which would provide for the intellectual and
spiritual needs of the city's youth. Through prayer and
perseverance, the sisters secured buildings; and soon a
new educational trend came into being, a trend which was
destined to grow to great proportions.
Holy Family Academy has
emerged as an outstanding institution of learning,
meeting preferences for a cultural, intellectual, and
spiritual education for young women. Fully accredited by
the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools,
Holy Family's curricular and co curricular programs help
students prepare for schools of higher education and
successful careers.
After 83 years of generous support, the Sisters of St.
Joseph of Chestnut Hill announced that after June 2009
they will no longer own, operate or sponsor the school.
I Believe in HFA has been formed to continue the mission
of Holy Family, independent of the support of the
Sisters of St. Joseph.
