The Archdiocese of Philadelphia Office of Catholic Education has created the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information page as a resource for our students, school families, and employees to help navigate this rapidly changing landscape. COVID-19 is an ever-evolving health and safety concern affecting the entire country.
Our primary goal remains to provide for the health and safety of all those entrusted to our care. A dedicated point of contact has been established where parents can share questions or concerns. Messages may be sent to covid19@archphila-oce.org. The mailbox is being monitored on a daily basis. As well, during these uncertain and trying times for our community, we understand that people are experiencing a wide range of reactions and emotions. We have established a dedicated point of contact for families seeking spiritual support. Those in need can send a message to spiritualsupport@archphila-oce.org.
Outlined below are resources from the Federal Government and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In addition to communication from the Archdiocesan Office of Catholic Education to date and updates on the status of our parish and regional elementary schools, high schools, and schools of special education. We have also included additional resources which may be helpful during this time.
Please be assured of our continued prayers for you and your families and for all of those affected by this virus.
