Each year, the DelChester Serra Club recognizes the dedication, faith, and outstanding service of the Saints Philip and James School students who faithfully serve our parish as Altar Servers. We are incredibly proud of our Panthers for their commitment to our church community and the example they set through their service at the altar.

Each year the Logan Family of Logan Funeral Home presents two rising 6th Graders with generous scholarships. Congratulations to Finley W. and Matthew O. (not pictured) who were this years’s recipients. They were chosen for their outstanding Christian values, service to the school and parish, and their academic achievement. We truly appreciate the Logan Family and thank them for their continued generosity!

We are so proud of Caleigh and Chetta!

At our closing Mass both were presented with the A.C.T.I.O.N.S. Award (Active Catholic Teens Illustrating Outstanding Noble Service). This award is given to students who demonstrate loyalty to God, their country and their school.

Congratulations girls!

At our closing Mass for the 2025-2026 school many students were recognized for their great accomplishments.

Luiza and Jack were honored for their perfect attendance! Congratulations Panthers! We are so proud of you!

Our 3rd graders had an unforgettable day on their field trip last week to the Elmwood Park Zoo! 🦒🐢🦅Students explored a variety of animal exhibits and enjoyed hands-on educational experiences throughout the zoo. From meeting fascinating animals up close to asking thoughtful questions of the zoo staff, our young learners were engaged, curious, and excited all day long. We loved seeing our students connect classroom learning with the natural world around them!

Last week our 1st and 2nd graders had an amazing day exploring the Reading Science Center! From hands‑on experiments to mind‑blowing exhibits, the kids were fully immersed in learning and discovery. Their curiosity was on full display, and the smiles said it all. Huge thank‑you to the staff and our wonderful chaperones for making this adventure unforgettable.

At our closing Mass today, 5th Grader Isabella received the second annual Blessed Mother Award. This award is in memory of Mrs. Cathy Motznik, Mrs. Krissinger's mother, who passed away in 2024. She was a volunteer and supporter of SSPJ for many years, and she had a strong devotion to the Blessed Mother. Isabella was chosen because she is loving and kind, shows respect for others and the Blessed Sacrament, shows reverence in Church, and puts her best effort into her schoolwork. She received a certificate and a $200 scholarship. Congratulations Isabella!

With hearts full of pride and gratitude, we celebrate our 8th Grade Class of 2026! 🎓✨

On Tuesday, our graduates marked this special milestone with a beautiful Mass surrounded by family, friends, faculty, and our faith-filled school community. Throughout their time at Saints Philip & James School, these students have grown in knowledge, character, leadership, and faith; living out our mission of academic excellence rooted in Christ.

We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished both inside and outside the classroom. As they begin this exciting new chapter, we pray they continue to lead with kindness, serve with compassion, and shine God’s light wherever they go.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Your SSPJ family will always be cheering you on, and we cannot wait to see all the amazing things God has planned for your future. 💛

Way to go Finley!

Congratulations to SSPJ’s Finley on earning top shooter scores in the 11-Year-Old Division of the annual Knights of Columbus Free Throw Contest. Earlier this spring, she represented Chester County District 19 and Exton Council 5671 at the PA Knights of Columbus Eastern Region and came out on top.

Finley finished first in her age group at the local, district, and regional competitions held February through March to earn her spot at states. We are so proud of her continued excellence and dedication, what an amazing accomplishment to repeat this success again in 2026!

While she was unable to attend the State Championship event in Mechanicsburg this time, we have no doubt she’ll be back and stronger than ever next year. Nice work, Finley, you have made the SSPJ CYO program proud!
