SJNRS Visits The Cross of Gratitude
Our students visited St. Vladimir's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Palmerton to see the
Cross of Gratitude, which is being hosted by various churches throughout the world
in preparation of the Jubilee of the 2000th anniversary of the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ and to unite the nations of the world into one family at His Cross.
Thank you to Fr. Evhen Moniuk for hosting us!

Volunteers - Clearance Requirements
Our School thrives on parent involvement and asks parents/guardians to volunteer during the school year for school events and field trips which involve contact with the student. The Allentown Diocese REQUIRES that anyone who volunteers for an event or chaperones a field trip must have their Safe Environment Clearances on file at the school. If you have clearances with your employer, please send copies to the Palmerton Campus Office. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated in helping us stay within the compliance regulations set forth by the Diocese. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Palmerton Campus Office at 610-826-2354 or email office.sjnrschool@gmail.com.
