Fr. Joe Moniz Educational Fund |
Fr. Joe served St. Philip the Apostle Parish for 20 years as our pastor. To honor his legacy of supporting Catholic education, we established an endowment in his name at the Catholic Community Foundation of Los Angeles to support tuition assistance and the educational needs of all St. Philip the Apostle School students. As this fund grows, our school will greatly benefit from financial stability in the future years.
During this year's virtual Red Tie Ball on March 27, you will be able to contribute to this fund. We understand that not everyone is in a position to donate, but we greatly appreciate your prayers that this fund continues to receive support. You can also donate today by mailing a check to the school office or by going here.

Message from the COVID-19 Compliance Officer |
|
A huge shout out to all of our families for doing a wonderful job keeping our community safe. Thank you for keeping your children home when they are not at 100%. Quarantining can seem daunting, but it absolutely works! With almost 300 students and staff on campus, we have only had a few COVID-19 cases on campus with ZERO transmission amongst our cohorts or staff.
Our safety protocols are working and your support makes all the difference! Thank you for taking my calls, testing your children and contributing to a successful reopening of our campus.
Thank you,
Maite Ramirez

What to Know This Flu Season |
Flu and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. While it’s not possible to say what will happen, it’s likely that flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 will both spread this fall and winter.
Protect yourself, your family, and your community against flu this fall and winter by getting a flu vaccine. Also follow other CDC recommendations to protect yourself from both flu and COVID-19.
