Key Reminders:
School Liturgy
Yesterday, we had our School Liturgy this morning. There were two Masses going on at the same time in order to keep our students safely distanced. Our students at home were also able to watch virtually. Fr. Masson was the celebrant in the theatre and Father Kelly was the celebrant in the gym. Our choir divided into two groups and provided the music for both liturgies. Our students also had the opportunity to meet our new president, Mr. Michael Connor. What a great morning at O'Hara! #Lion4Life

This is the last week to participate in Nutritional Development Services (NDS) Holiday Food Drive. This annual drive helps stock the shelves of NDS’ network of over 50 food cupboards throughout the Greater Philadelphia region and benefit those who do not have access to nutritious sustenance. NDS is approximately 1,000 pounds away from its 2,500 pound goal.
 
Those interested in helping our neighbors in need and fighting food insecurity can support NDS’ Community Food Program by purchasing items online through You Give Goods at https://yougivegoods.com/ndsholidaydrive now through Friday, January 8th.
