On March 13, 2020, the Diocese of Paterson Catholic Schools Office made the decision to temporarily close schools as of March 16, 2020. All schools will be closed for a period of two weeks. In addition, the school building will be closed to everyone. Non-essential activities and events are suspended during this time. At the end of the two-week period, a determination will be made to resume school or to continue a closure. The Diocese will monitor all unfolding events of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
We know the situation is not ideal and I am ever mindful of the hardships this school closure will cause our families. Thank you in advance for your understanding and flexibility as we work through this extraordinary set of events. May God bless you and your family.
