If your family is on tuition plan A or C, volunteer requirements must be up to date for both parents before service hours can be earned. If you are on a non-service plan but would like to volunteer you must satisfy all volunteer requirements.

We must have the following on file : 

• Current TB 
• Virtus
• LiveScan

Proof of covid vaccination and/or negative covid test is not currently required to volunteer on campus. 

As a reminder, you must be feeling 100% healthy to volunteer on campus. We thank you for your efforts in helping keep our campus safe and healthy. 

The service hour requirement has been reduced by 4 hours. Tuition plans A and C are no longer required to perform parish service hours. Instead, we encourage you to volunteer at the parish and a maximum of 4 hours will count towards regular school service hours. 

30 hours school + 4 hours Fall Fest + 2 Red Tie Benefit hours (when applicable) = 36 service hours total per school year. 

All levels of experience are welcome! Click here for more information about weekly crochet classes with Mrs. Nieto.

St. Philip the Apostle School is proud to be the largest ministry of St. Philip the Apostle Parish. As the largest active ministry of the parish, our students have been invited to have a regular, active role in our Sunday 9:00 AM Mass. Students in grades 4th-8th have been invited to be the Lectors for the first reading and to be greeters and ushers during the mass. We feel this is a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience being active participants in our Parish Mass.

Click here for Sign Up Genius link. We would like to ensure that every 9:00 AM mass has our students participation.

Please note - families will be expected to attend the mass with the student. When you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions. Students who sign up will practice during the week before their scheduled mass.

Thank you and we look forward to having an active presence at the 9:00 AM Liturgy!

If your child is late because of a doctor or dental appointment, please bring a note to the office from the professional for an excused tardy. 

If you pick up your child early, please sign them out at the front desk. If someone other than the parent picks up a child during the school day, we need a note signed and dated by a parent giving that adult permission to take the child out early. This is the case even if they are on the carpool and/or the emergency list. Thank you for understanding that this is to keep your child safe!

Be sure to send your child to school with $1.00 for a cold treat that will benefit the 8th grade fundraising efforts for the DC trip.

When reporting your child out, please state the reason for the absence. Thank you for being a partner in keeping everyone safe!

You can report your attendance to Karen Conley at [email protected].

Would your family benefit from heart-felt gifts at Christmas to offset financial difficulty? Are you a Christmas Angel who's inspired to assist a local family, but don't know how? We at the St. Vincent de Paul Ministry can help! Our Christmas Angel Program strives to enhance the spirituality and well-being of both families in need and parish "Angels" during the Christmas season. SVDP talks with families, identifies some modest wants and needs of their members, and conveys a "wish list" to each Angel donor. Families range from single parents with kids to multi-generational households, sometimes with disabled adult members. We keep all family and Angel identities confidential.

Gift-giving allows Angels to experience selfless acts of kindness that truly make a difference. Angels wrap their purchased items and provide them to SVDP in time for Christmas. 

If you would like to participate as a recipient or Angel, leave your name, phone number and email address no later than November 28 on St. Vincent de Paul's hotline (626-863-7041) or email them to [email protected]. Clarify if you want to participate as a recipient or Angel. We will respond soon after. 

Blessings and thank you!
