Principal’s Pen – May 18, 2018

Dear Parents and Students of Ss. Peter & Paul Catholic School,

“Lord, prepare me to be a Sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true. In thanksgiving, I will be a living sanctuary for you.” Those beautiful words sung by the school choir at our first all-school Mass touched my heart and I knew the spirit and love that brought Ss. Peter & Paul School through the first 150 years of Catholic education. I have been blessed to be among you.

Support Ss. Peter & Paul Parents & Friends for the 2018-2019 school year.
ALL of our Parents (& Friends) are invited to build a stronger school community through social, spiritual and fundraising activities. Be a part of school life, and afterschool life! Meet new friends who share the same values and goals that you have for your children. First meeting in September, 2018!
