Dear SPC Families,

I am excited to announce some changes in staffing at SPC! Mrs. Pabst is retiring after over 30 plus years of working for the Archdiocese. Mrs. Bridget Fletcher will replace her as Business Manager effective January 1st. Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Pabst will continue to work together until the end of January to ensure a smooth transition. We are excited to welcome Mrs. Eileen Serafin, who will replace Mrs. Fletcher in the EGC main office. We were blessed to have Mrs. Pabst for the past few years and wish her well in her retirement! Thank you to all of them who have been working through November and December to ensure a seamless transition! 

A reminder, tomorrow is a Home and School Out of Uniform Day!

Thank you to everyone who is completing their re-enrollment! It is essential that you complete the re-enrollment for 23-24 by January 20th as we have a record number of new family applications for Preschool-8th grade for next year. We will start accepting new families on January 27th based on the space available after our current families have registered. Please make sure to re-enroll! If you have any questions related to re-enrollment or logging into FACTS, please email Mrs. Waldeck This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 

CHRISTMAS SHOW GRADES PS-3rd

Our students and teachers have been working hard at practicing for the show, and we are thrilled to have an in-person concert back again!

  • We are livestreaming the show. Please click here to view the livestream on the date.
  • We ask that all audience members remain in their seats for the entire show, even if your child has performed. 
  • Students may come dressed in their Christmas outfits!

Donations to Social Service Ministry:
Thank you to all who donated to the Social Service Ministry! We were able to send $3775 to assist the families for Christmas!
