OLA school suffered a large fire on Wednesday, July 18th.  Immediately following the fire it was announced by the Office of Catholic Education that operations are guaranteed to start on time in September. Students and teachers will utilize space at Cardinal O’Hara High School in Springfield (Delaware County).
 
Further developments and logistical details pertaining to OLA operations are being determined and will be communicated to parish and school families as soon as possible.  The Archdiocese, school and parish community are grateful to the fire fighters and first responders who worked tirelessly to extinguish the blaze, many of whom are alumni of OLA. It is a blessing that no one was injured as a result of the fire.
