THANK YOU!

Through the generosity of our families, students, faculty, and staff we were able to send a donation of $1,346.00 to Catholic Relief Services for the benefit of the people of Haiti in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake. Let us keep the people of Haiti in our prayers and may God bless the efforts of all the relief workers.

On behalf of the people of Haiti I would like to thank you for organizing the fundraiser that will benefit the victims of the earthquake. The kindness and generosity of the Sts. Philip and James community will make a difference in the lives of many of the earthquake victims. I've been blessed to have had no earthquake victims in my family thus far and would like to take this opportunity to ask that everyone pray for the thousands that were not so fortunate.

Sincerely,
Nicole Duprey

Dear Mr. Giordano, Teachers, Staff and the SSPJ family,

I just wanted to say thank you for your contribution toward the relief efforts in Haiti. I'm very proud that my children are attending a school like SSPJ that shows a great deal of caring for people in need. I'm from Haiti, and thank God the lives of my family members were spared from this massive earthquake. As one might see on the news, the capital city of Haiti which is Port-Au-Prince is fully destroyed. The people in that area now have no homes, no hospitals, no schools, no government offices, and no businesses. The people in Haiti are in desperate need of every help they can get. Please keep them in your prayers and continue to help if you can.

With many thanks,
The Laguerre Family

TRANSPORTATION REQUESTS FOR 2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR

REMINDER: Transportation Request forms for ALL districts must be filed by April 1, 2010 in order to receive transportation services for the 2010-2011 school year. If you live within the following districts and require a form, please contact the school office: Smithtown, Longwood, Central Islip, and Kings Park. All others must contact your home district to request the appropriate form. Please take care of this sooner rather than later. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the School Office. Thank you!

Attention Parents:

As you are aware, due to the ongoing construction in the Church, daily Masses are being held in the Old Church. Due to space limitations in the Old Church, our students will not be able to attend First Friday Mass as a school until the work has been completed (expected completion in March). Rest assured however, that our students will be going to Mass on a regular basis with their class.
