Dear Parents,

By now, I am sure you have heard that Gov. Cuomo has closed all schools through the end of the academic year.  The faculty and staff already miss our students and families more than you know! 

This news brings a host of new questions.  We are working on answers for you.  To begin, in the coming days we will develop plans for the following:

-Picking up your child(ren)’s belongings in a manner that is safe for everyone. 

-8^th grade graduation.  We are planning ceremonies for August, if by that time gatherings of that size are allowed.

The transportation request deadline has been extended to May 9^th.  Districts will be facing many challenges come September, so please be sure to get your request in before this deadline. 

Communion and Confirmation will take place in the fall, if and when we are able to have gatherings of that size.

In the meantime, our distance learning continues!  Please know how much we miss you.  We are here if you need anything.  Keep an eye out for another Virtual Spirit Week and more 'Chats with St. Pat’s'.  Project: Spread the Love (our letter writing campaign to nursing homes) is posted on our website. Keep the pictures coming!

Join our parish priests Sunday, May 3^rd, from 8:30 to 11:30 for a drive by blessing in front of the church! 

I am closing this email on a positive note, with a beautiful musical selection from a few St. Patrick Alumni.
