ocs The purpose of our PTO is to promote goodwill, communication and cooperation between parents/guardians, teachers, administration and parishes involved. We aim to provide support to our schools through socials, fundraisers and specific assistance activities. We are a non-commercial, non-partisan organization, seeking to increase awareness of issues affecting Catholic education.
