I am stunned by the heartbreaking images of the devastation left by Hurricane Laura. The storm, now a tropical depression, caused severe damage to homes and businesses, and claimed the lives of several innocent people.

In the name of the people of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, I extend my prayers and condolences to those who have been affected by this natural disaster and to those experiencing the effects of the hurricane. Click here to read the complete statement.

A Message from Audrey Wilson on behalf of Monsignor McCormac

Please ask your state senator and representative, along with the Governor and the Secretary of Education to make sure that transportation is provided for non-public school students for the upcoming coming school year.

School districts are required to provide transportation to both public and nonpublic students, even during the pandemic. Many school districts are moving to online learning for the upcoming school year and there have not been assurances given to nonpublic schools that buses will continue to roll for their students should they continue with in-person learning.

Thank you for your help.
