Holy Week & Easter Schedule

Important Religious Education Information and Liturgical Notes

Religious Education is ON for tomorrow March 29th 2015

However there will be NO CLASS for Kindergarten and First Grade

We ask that children with a cough not come to class

In light of the confirmed cases of the Pertussis (Whooping Cough) over in the school as a precaution the Distribution of the Precious Blood which was restarted for weekday Masses and was scheduled to begin on Divine Mercy Sunday will now once again be suspended at weekday Masses and will not begin on Divine Mercy Sunday as originally planned.  The sign of peace will also be omitted.  It is my hope to reinstate these practices in a couple weeks soon as we get past this hurdle.

Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding!   

Important Notice

There has been a confirmed case of Pertussis (whooping cough) at Saint Patrick School.  Since Thursday, March 26, the City of York, Bureau of Health has seen an increase in the number of pertussis cases, Pertussis is an infection that affects the airways and is easily spread from person to person by coughing or sneezing.  Its severe cough can last for weeks or months, sometimes leading to coughing fits and/or vomiting.  Anyone can get pertussis, but it can be very dangerous for infants and people with weakened immune systems.  Family members with pertussis, especially mothers, can spread pertussis to newborns.

Please know all precautions are being undertaken and the school is being thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.  A notice has been sent home to parents with more detailed information.  Religious Education parents if your child has a cough or a low immune system, please keep them home from Religious Education this weekend. 

Thank you everyone for your assistance.
