Families should sign up for updates about the state scholarship application on the website: https://www.stepupforstudents.org/legislative-updates/

You should also be gathering the needed documents for the application and saving them to your computer so you are ready to upload them when the application opens.

Once the scholarship application opens, you should plan to apply quickly!

For increased security, only CLEARED family members will be allowed to attend our Children's Mass. If you are cleared and would like to attend, you will need to enter through the front doors and sign-in at the front office. Please arrive early so you have time to go through this process. You must wear your sticker badge that the computer generates for you at all times while you are in the building. Thank you for you patience and cooperation with this new procedure.

If you still need your clearance, please see the website for information on how to proceed: https://www.pcapvb.org/forms

Thank you for all your prayers, PCA families! Please continue to storm heaven with prayers for Mrs. Earp and Ms. Cashin as they continue on their road of healing and recovery!
