La Iglesia Católica de San Pedro Apóstol está preparando un estudio de viabilidad que analizará el
potencial de una nueva escuela católica pre-kinder-12° grado. Se están programando sesiones con
feligreses para obtener información que ayude a desarrollar una visión y un plan para el futuro. Las
sesiones serán dirigidas por un grupo consultor externo contratado para ayudarnos a desarrollar nuestro
plan. Dos sesiones se llevan a cabo al mismo tiempo: una para padres, abuelos y guardianes de niños de
edad escolar y otra para feligreses sin niños de edad escolar. Es necesario registrarse para asistir.
