SSPJ Parish school is hosting their annual Fun Run virtually on Thursday, June 4. As a school family, the Fun Run will be kicked off via Zoom to pray and then the students and their family will spend time outside walking/running together. Funds raised will be used for school improvements. If you can help out and donate, our parish school children would greatly appreciate it. Here is the link: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/SSPJFunRun
Our SSPJ thrift shop is accepting at the present time only wearable clothing items. They can be dropped off any Saturday from 10 AM until 2 PM. The shop is not as yet reopened for business. Please do not drop off any non-clothing items until further notice. Thank you and God bless you for your support of this vital help to our parish finances. Last year our great little shop brought in a whopping $48,000 dollars to our budget. God bless our faithful workers and all who contribute or purchase items!
Gov. Wolf and the PA Department of Education are looking to take most of the funding that Congress wants distributed equitably in COVID-19 relief to ALL schools in PA and across the country. Pennsylvania received $471 million in funding from Washington. But PCC Education Director Sean McAleer says “the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) created its own set of rules to distribute that money that blatantly ignores federal guidance. The end result significantly lowers the amounts to be given to Catholic and nonpublic school students.”
