2021 Holy Family Prom Promise
Our Catholic Christian values recognize the dignity and self-worth of the individual. This event is viewed as an opportunity for homeschooled teens to socialize in a fun, supervised and safe setting. Behavior and attire of attendees should reflect these guiding principles.
Responsibility:
Conduct:
Attire:
Every year, the attire for the prom is a delicate point. We expect the dress to convey the dignity and self-worth of the individual. For that reason we will hold to the following dress standards. Those not meeting the standards will, unfortunately, be denied access to the prom by the Parent chaperones.
Gentlemen:
Ladies:
Location:
Sacred Heart Church Auditorium, 2733 Massachusetts Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45225 - see map below.
Dispensation:
Those who attend the prom may be dispended from the obligation to do penance on Friday, May 28. This is in accordance with Canon 1245. I would, however, encourage all to perform some other penance that day, which is the general custom today.

Pre-Prom Dance Review:
To anyone who will be attending the prom and wants a refresher class on their favorite social dance steps - this is for you!
Please join us on May 19 for a Waltz/Swing class and May 26 for a Two-Step class, along with some basic principles of how to lead/follow when you don't know how to dance to a song. You'll have the confidence to dance to any song of any style and will never again have to ask, "How are you supposed to dance to this?"
Dress code: men wear slacks and a nice shirt; ladies wear a dress or skirt. Ladies, you can wear flats but you may find that a low heel helps you. Everyone will do better in shoes that will slide on a smooth floor.
Cost is $30 for two classes or $15 for one (we understand people are busy and may only be able to make it to one, but we encourage you to attend both if you can). Please make checks payable to Emily Landreaux or bring cash in an envelope with your name on it. Thank you and we hope to see you there!
God bless you. St. Genesius of Rome, pray for us!
