Summer Day Care Program 
After much careful consideration it has been decided to suspend the Summer Day Care Program at
Ss. Peter & Paul this year. With plans for major roadwork and construction surrounding the gym/cafeteria, the safety and security of our children could be compromised. Plans are to come back in the Summer of 2019 with more options to the great summer program that Ss. Peter & Paul has provided in the past. Thank you for understanding.
