"Blessed is the crisis that made you grow, the fall that made you gaze up to Heaven, the problem that made you look for God!"
St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Padre Pio, pray for us!

A proper classical Catholic education necessarily involves embracing the Corporal and Spiritual Acts of Mercy. Whether it be Games with Grands at nursing homes, baby showers for courageous for young moms, foods drives, the Solanus Casey coat drive, Christmas Cards for the imprisoned, or just helping their little brother with homework, our students are looking forward to another year of loving their neighbor!

Friends and families, please continue to enjoy your summer. Our classical Catholic academy in Lakewood starts back September 1. Still time for interested families to enroll for the Fall session.

We used to hear Padre Pio Academy was a "hidden gem" and "Lakewood's best kept secret." Well, we are not so "hidden" or "secret" anymore. Last year we were recognized by the prestigious Cardinal Newman Society. And, thanks to you, our friends, families and followers on social media, our spunky classical Catholic academy is close to hitting 1,000 followers! The word is out.

So a big thanks to all of you who love PPA as much as we do. Keep telling your friends and neighbors about this wonderful K-12 Catholic classical academy. Your continued support truly means a lot to us. Thank you!

2 years ago friend of PPA Jonathan Kuplack stopped by and spoke to a packed crowd at Padre Pio Academy as he literally ran across the country evangelizing his Catholic faith. He is at it again and just released a powerful documentary on his recent 200 mile race. Very inspirational and watching might be a great way for students, families and friends to prepare for the upcoming school year. There are no limits on what we can achieve when we put our Faith in Christ!
