Amazed. Inspired. GRATEFUL! Words cannot express how thankful we are to

Parents, faculty  and staff all contributed to a record month of giving...and we wanted to share the good news. We are almost at 100% participation this early in the year. Simply incredible!
Your generous donations truly make a Catholic education possible for everyone. God bless you all for making St. Philip the Apostle School such a special place for our students.

REFLECTION OF THE WEEK
"
A wise woman once said to me that there are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.
One of these she said is roots, the other, wings.
