urgent prayer request
A message from Mrs. Urso
Thank you for so much for the outpouring of love, prayers, generosity and encouragement after my husband passed away. Your thoughtful words and generosity have meant more than you know to me and my family during this very difficult time. We have felt the love and support and it means more than words can express. I am deeply thankful and blessed to be a part of such a wonderful school community.
Thank you!
Mrs. Urso
PCA Day of Giving
Palmer Catholic Academy (PCA) is proud to celebrate National Catholic Schools Week, and the One Nation, Many Gifts, A Day of Giving on February 1st, 2023. We send our children to school every day, but we’d like to take a moment to celebrate the amazing benefits students receive from a Catholic education.
Catholic education teaches a child that God is in their life and all around them every day. It teaches children the importance of civic responsibility and to be stewards of service to those in need. Catholic education also helps children learn self-discipline and make decisions with grace. Above all this, PCA is committed to academic excellence while also immersing students in athletics, the arts, and a clean, safe environment.
