PARISH MERGERS UPDATE In a memo from Reverend Monsignor Arthur Rodgers, the Coordinator of
Archdiocesan Planning Initiatives, dated March 20, 2013, we have been advised
that Archbishop Chaput decided that in order to provide a smoother transition
when parishes are merged, the announcement of mergers will not be made until the
time that the Pastors of the new parishes can be announced. The upcoming merger
announcements will be postponed until late May, the time of all the clergy
appointments. Once the new pastors are announced, together with the merger
announcements, the process of transition will begin. Information on this process
of transition will be provided to the new pastors.
Saint Cyril School is in the process of developing a new website for the parents of our school children, and others interested in keeping up with developments in our school. The link to the new website is http://teacherweb.com/PA/SaintCyrilofAlexandriaSchool/School/t.aspx

SECOND SUNDAY FOOD COLLECTION On every second weekend, St. Cyril's will collect canned goods, staple items and non-perishables which will be donated to the local community Food Banks. This will benefit people in our community who have trouble putting food on the table for their families. Collection baskets will be marked and located in the main vestibule, as well as the two front Sacristy entrances of the church. Thank you in advance participation in this new venture for our parish!
PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF FAITH Heavenly Father, you give us the gift of faith to know and believe all you reveal through your Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. May we live by these divine truths as members of the Holy Catholic Church and proclaim them joyfully to others with the witness of our lives. We ask this through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
THE OSTC PROGRAM BLOCS is thrilled to announce that the state has passed a new tax credit program called the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC). This great resource will assist Philadelphia's children living within the boundaries of one of the bottom 15% of low-achieving school districts. Pennsylvania's OSTC program will distribute $50 million dollars in tax credits to businesses willing to make a donation to BLOCS to fund scholarships for families seeking a high quality Catholic school education.For highlights of the OSTC Program click here For complete information on the OSTC program click here.
JOSEPH DONNELLY ACHIEVEMENT AWARD We are proud to announce that St. Cyril School received the First Annual Joseph Donnelly Achievement Award. This award was presented at the BLOCS 10th Annual Scholarship Dinner which was held on Thursday, May 3rd, at the National Constitution Center. The Donnelly Family designated $137,000 to BLOCS in memory of Mr. Donnelly for our school endowment. BLOCS matched this amount! The total amount that was awarded to the St. Cyril School Endowment Fund was $275,000. These funds remain with BLOCS to provide an endowment for our school. This endowment will give our school financial security. We are very grateful to the Donnelly Family and BLOCS for their generosity to our school.
