Tuition Payments & Financial Aid
Financial awards are not yet reflected in the payment plans. All the applications are now processed by FACTS Management and are then sent to the Diocese of Harrisburg for review. The Diocese will review the applications, and financial aid will be determined by mid- to late-June. In July, award notices are sent out to families, and awards are applied to subsequent tuition payments beginning in August.
Tuition payments will begin on June 15. Families requesting an adjustment to their June and July payments are asked to call the school's Business Office at (717) 761-1116 by June 1 to make these arrangements.
Senior Parents, from Sister Susan
As time grows close, too close, to graduation, may I ask two favors:
- do not allow your son/daughter to decorate his/her cap. Our graduation is refined event and a classy one. So we do not wish to have decorations on caps.
- in order for all parents to hear all the students' names, please refrain from cheering, hooting, or making any other noise as they are called. Please inform your guests as well.
Graduation Information--Friday, May 31
There are no reserved seats at Baccalaureate and no tickets are needed. Baccalaureate is at 1:00 p.m., and the doors open at 12:15 p.m., while graduation is at 7:00 p.m., and the doors open at 6:15 p.m. Graduation will also be live-streamed in the cafeteria.
Girls are to wear dresses under their gowns. Please make sure the white collar is pinned on or sewn on. Boys are to wear long pants, socks, shoes (no sneakers), dress shirt and tie.

The Gospel for Sunday, May 26, 2019–6th Sunday of Easter
Jesus said to his disciples: "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me. "I have told you this while I am with you. The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard me tell you, 'I am going away and I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe." --John 14:23-29

Reflection
Love of the Son and His word gives us the knowledge and love of the Father, who already loves
us. And the Father and Son send us their love in the form of the Holy Spirit. In today’s reading,
Jesus is calling us deeper in the life of the Triune God. We are called to share in the Trinity’s
love and peace. By entering into the love of the Triune God, we know that we are never alone
and must share that love with all those we meet.

Saint of the Week--Venerable Pierre Toussaint, May 28
Born in Haiti and brought to New York City as a slave, Venerable Pierre Toussaint lived an exemplary Catholic life both before and after gaining his freedom. Married and then widowed, Pierre continued his charitable works well into his elder years. He originally was buried outside St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, a church to which he was once refused entrance because of his race.

Prayer for the Week--Prayer for Memorial Day
Gracious God, on this Memorial Day weekend, we remember and give thanks for those who have given their lives in the service of our country. When the need was greatest, they stepped forward and did their duty to defend the freedoms that we enjoy, and to win the same for others. O God, you yourself have taught us that no love is greater than that which gives itself for another. These honored dead gave the most precious gift they had, life itself, for loved ones and neighbors, for comrades and country--and for us. Help us to honor their memory by caring for the family members they have left behind, by ensuring that their wounded comrades are properly cared for, by being watchful caretakers of the freedoms for which they gave their lives, and by demanding that no other young men and women follow them to a soldier's grave unless the reason is worthy and the cause is just. Holy One, help us to remember that freedom is not free. There are times when its cost is, indeed, dear. Never let us forget those who paid so terrible a price to ensure that freedom would be our legacy. Though their names may fade with the passing of generations, may we never forget what they have done. Help us to be worthy of their sacrifice, O God, help us to be worthy. --J. Veltri, S.J.
