The program pair dedicated American families with international students to foster world harmony across the planet. The homestay program has several international students attending Pacelli high school during the school year.

A host family receives a monthly stipend of $700 to cover any costs that arise with having an extra person in their home. The host family can earn approximately $7,000 annually (10-month academic period). Additionally, the host families also have access to ongoing support from a local Support Service Coordinator.

All Hom e & Sch ool Fam ilies! We are blessed to have such a dedicated staff; from maintenance men and nutrition team to the women in the main office to all of the teachers and the principal, guiding our kids through high school. To show them our appreciation, each member of the staff will receive a gift certificate from Pacelli Catholic Schools, along with a card from the Pacelli Catholic High School Home & School Association. We are having a PCHS Staff Christmas breakfast on Tuesday, Dec 21 and will give them the gifts for that celebration. Please watch your email for the Christmas Gift letter and the sign up genius breakfast item list which will be coming out soon.

Adopt -A-Kid f or Ch r ist m as pr oject Again this year, Pacelli students and staff are sponsoring an Adopt-A-Kid for Christmas project. It's a wonderful way to open our hearts to the gifts of Advents by providing simple and necessary gifts for children of families who are having difficulty making ends meet. Pacelli students never meet the children, but are encouraged to lift them up in prayer as they save to provide for their Christmas Gifts. It is a humbling and gratitude-building opportunity. Encourage your student to get involved. See Mrs. Liss for the list of available Adopt-A-Kids.

Win t er Coat s, h at s, m it t en s, gloves, or boot s Pacelli is a drop off site for Winter Coats, hats, mittens, gloves, or boots for distribution to children of all ages in our community. Place your gently used, or new donations in the large box in PCHS' main lobby after Thanksgiving.
