NEW INFO

BEST DAY EVER

Families, we need your help!

Our Next Level Program is off and running! We need your help to raise money for our continued safety improvements. This year we are planning to purchase protective film for all glass windows and doors on the first floor levels of both buildings. The film serves as a hardening measure to make the glass shatter proof and will cost $23,000.00. This is part of our safety plan based on the Homeland Security Audit in 2022.

If you haven’t already, click on the link above to set up your student’s personal donation page and invite

friends and family to support our efforts. This entire process can be completed in 10 minutes or less!

If you wish, you can also donate once you have registered your student.

When you enter 10 or more contacts, your student will earn Golden Ticket prizes if completed by

MIDNIGHT TONIGHT! Plus, it enters the students name for a chance to win one of our awesome drawing

prizes!

Families who enter at least 10 contacts will be entered into our nationwide Disney World Family

Vacation giveaway!

It is never too late to make a difference! 

Students will get to participate in the BEST DAY EVER on Wednesday, May 21.

Thank you for your support!

When students are playing the gate will be closed and the alley way blocked for car entrance into the parking lot, this is to keep the students safe.

PRAYER AFTER SCHOOL

Join Us for Prayer After School During Lent!

Lent is a season of prayer, reflection, and drawing closer to God—and we have a special opportunity for you and your family to do just that!

Each Friday during Lent, St. Paul the Apostle will have All-Day Eucharistic Adoration in the church. At 3:00 PM—the Hour of Mercy—the St. Paul Singers invite you to come straight from school and join us in praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet together in song.

This is a beautiful and powerful family devotion, helping us all to reflect on Christ’s mercy and love during this sacred season.

What: Divine Mercy Chaplet in Song
When: Fridays in Lent at 3:00 PM
Where: St. Paul the Apostle Church

Bring your family, take a moment to pause in prayer, and grow in faith together this Lent. We’d love to see you there!
