SPS Challenge Grant I am always amazed at people’s generosity. In response to a recent mailing to our out-of-town alumni in which we updated them on the current happenings at St. Peter School, I received a phone call from a former student, Dave Logsdon, who wanted to speak further about how best to help our school. In our conversation, he decided to set up a “challenge grant” in memory of his mother, Carol C. Logsdon and in honor of his father, Maury Logsdon. The Logsdon Family Foundation will match up to $10,000 in support for our school, such as: school library, audio-visual equipment, technology, teaching and learning resources, and the gift that keeps on giving, the School Endowment Fund. If you would like to take part in this challenge, please mark your donation: "SPS Challenge Grant". We thank Maury Logsdon and his family for supporting our efforts here at St. Peter School. Each gift is a blessing to our students, families and staff. We have received another generous donation to the St. Peter School Challenge Grant, for a total of $6,425. The Logsdon Family Foundation matches up to $10,000. Thank you all for your generous support of our great school!

Meet Katie Charocopos our Youth Minister at Transfiguration of the Lord Parish. Hi everyone, my name is Katie Charocopos and I am so grateful to have started here as the new youth minister this past November. It has been a joy getting to know you these past 3 months! For those of you who haven’t met me yet, here is a little introduction: I’m from West Rockhill, Pennsylvania, which is about an hour north of Philadelphia. I am the oldest of eleven children and I graduated from Seton Home Study School in 2015. I spent three semesters studying psychology and theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville, but ultimately left to pursue a career in nannying. Since that time, I have also spent a summer volunteering as an Alumni Corps missionary at Catholic Familyland in Bloomingdale, Ohio. I love music, driving my truck, ultimate frisbee, making crafts, hiking, and holding babies. My favorite saint is Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. I will be serving soup and sandwiches with the youth group after 10:30 Mass this weekend, please stop by the community room and say hello! Love and prayers, Katie
