St. Katharine was born in Philadelphia in 1858. Her family was quite wealthy and she is known for being extremely generous to the poor. In one story, she gave her most favorite doll to another little girl who didn't have a doll. She is the patroness of racial justice.

O'Hara's Roof Maintenance
As many of you are aware, O'Hara has been experiencing roof leaks attributed to our aging roof/building. It was our hope to wait until this coming summer to re-roof the main wing of the building. However, upon further investigation, and with advice from our contractors, it was necessary to complete this maintenance sooner in order to mitigate damage from the leaking. The roofing began on Thursday, Feb. 15, and was completed this past week. The new roof spans the main hallway section of our building that parallels 18th Ave.
Thank you to Evergreen Roofing for their flexibility and willingness to work through the long weekend in order to minimize the noise and disruption to our school days. And,
THANK YOU! to our donors who have so generously given to our
Archbishop O'Hara Annual Fund over the last three years and provided the necessary funds for our repair; your support is a blessing.
