Eagle Stay & Play Canceled on June 24 Due to Playground Construction

New Playground Coming Soon to Holy Family School & Preschool

We want to let our Holy Family School and Parish families know that our Eagle Stay & Play event, originally scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, has been canceled due to ongoing playground construction.


While we were excited to welcome families for a morning of fun and connection, the safety of our students, families, and guests always comes first. With active construction happening on campus, we are pausing this event until the work is complete.


The great news? Our brand-new playground is underway and will be ready in time for the 2025–26 school year! This project will enhance our outdoor learning and play environment, giving students a space to grow, explore, and build friendships.


We are working on rescheduling the Eagle Stay & Play event and will share a new date as soon as it’s safe to gather near the playground again. Be sure to follow us on social media or check our website for updates.


Thank you for your support and understanding as we improve our campus for current and future Eagles. We can’t wait to invite you back to celebrate the new space once it’s ready!

Millie lived a life filled with creativity, love, and spirited joy. Exceptionally crafty, she poured her heart into making ceramics and sharing her work at local shows. A self-taught seamstress, she stitched dresses for her family and even created tiny wardrobes of Barbie clothes that delighted all who received them. She shared her talents generously as a Girl Scout and Boy Scout leader at Holy Trinity, guiding young people with patience, humor, and her signature sass. A wonderful cook, Millie made every holiday memorable with meals prepared from scratch. She cherished the simple pleasures of life-her favorite soap operas (Days of Our Lives and As the World Turns), time spent outdoors tending her garden, and the joy of making homemade jams and jellies. She also enjoyed her time on her father’s farm, where many of her happiest memories were formed. Millie was a devoted member of Holy Family Catholic Church, where her faith was a steady and meaningful presence throughout her life. Visitation will be held at Kraft Funeral Home (708 E Spring Street, New Albany, IN) on Tuesday, December 16th from 12pm- 8pm.  Funeral Mass will be held at Holy Family Catholic Church (129 West Daisy Lane, New Albany, Indiana 47150) on Wednesday, December 17th at 10am. Burial will follow in Holy Trinity Cemetery.

Leon John Weber Sr., 99, of New Albany Indiana, passed away peacefully on Friday November 14, 2025, after a long fun life with family and friends from here and Newport, Kentucky/Cincinnati, OH.  Lee was a man of simple pleasures and deep passions. He was known for his quick wit, chicken dance skills, love of dogs, and his extensive collection of hats, each chosen with care for the occasion. Friends and family are invited to attend the visitation on Wednesday November 19, 2025, from 4:00-7:00 pm at Newcomer Funeral Home in New Albany, Indiana. In true Lee fashion, attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite hat. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Holy Family Church in New Albany on Thursday 11/20/25 at 10:30 am.
