Also enhancing our school faith community are the Redemptorist Fathers and Brother, a lay principal experienced in Catholic education, a dedicated school secretary, and a capable maintenance staff. The distribution of financial aid is based on need for both parishioners and non-parishioners. Pre Kindergarten is NOT eligible for this type of aid. About 25 percent of our children walk to and from school, at most a distance of approximately 6 blocks. The neighborhood is safe and is patrolled daily by the city police.
Sidewalks provide a safe place to walk and traffic at the intersections is minimal.
Public transportation is available, but is currently not used by students. Seventy-five percent of our children travel to and from school by car. Distances vary from nearby neighborhoods to surrounding counties. Many parents organize carpools. Morning arrivals and after school departures are supervised by school safety patrols and teachers.
