We are working to secure an alternate site and will update you all as soon as an agreement is finalized.

As far as supply donations are concerned, we will be able to give a you mailing address as soon as the agreement is secured.

When everything is finalized, we will be able to conduct faculty and parent visits to the site.

We appreciate all of your love, patience, and support during this time.

We remain OMCstrong together.

May you find peace this weekend

Your partner in education,

We’ll also have board games and snacks for the whole family.

On March 28th, wear your OMC gear on a night out to Enza, Halligan’s, and the Metropolitan in North Wales and be sure to tell your server you’re there to support OMC! A portion of the proceeds will come back to help our fire relief effort.

While there, be sure to thank our friends from St. Gen’s, OLM, Ancillae-Assumpta, St. Luke’s, St. Helena, Good Shepherd, Norwood-Fontbonne, and Gwynedd Mercy for organizing this night out!

Join our friends at McNally’s on Germantown Ave. all April long for Pints for Pupils! For every pint you buy, $1 will come back to OMC!

Lent is here and that means fasting from meat on Fridays. Turn this sacrifice into an opportunity by making a meatless meal recipe from Catholic Relief Services.

You will learn a new meal from another country, save some money, and hopefully have some fun. You can check out the meal that the 8th grade peer ministers made here.

We also sent home CRS ricebowls last week. Fill the bowls with donations to help fight hunger around the world and return them at the end of Lent.
