Dear Parents,
I want to thank you for the trust that you placed in us to care for your children. We are unfortunately unable to carry on with this service. One month from now the program will end. The building will be rented for general purposes. It gets down to a financial decision for the sake of the larger institution. We need to make use of our resources to sponsor the mission of the church. We have few options to pay for our operating expenses, but to raise money.
As you know, we have a very fine staff of employees, beginning with our director, Ariel Presley. We hope to help them find new opportunities in their field of work. They have all done an excellent job of making us a good quality daycare.
After Labor Day, September 2, 2024 the Daycare will not reopen for the purpose of custodial care of your children.
In the meantime, we will provide a list of Manayunk and Roxborough centers that are accepting new applicants for September.
We had hoped to be able to do what we had hoped to do, for your children. I apologize, but we can’t. May God heal everyone adversely affected by this decision.
Sincerely yours,
Monsignor Patrick E. Sweeney
