OMPH School Honored with Diocesan Mission Award
Each year, the Missionary Childhood Association of the Diocese of Harrisburg acknowledges the special achievements made by an elementary school whose students have demonstrated exceptional mission awareness and Christian concern for children in developing countries of the world. OMPH School was awarded the Diocese of Harrisburg’s Bishop’s Mission Award for the fourth time in five years during a ceremony held on September 16, 2026 in Harrisburg.
To date, OMPH School has raised over $27,000 for MCA during the past five years! The award was presented to Principal Mrs. Snyder and Middle School Teacher Mrs. Lentz at the annual Diocese of Harrisburg Education Conference by Diocesan Director Father Alfred Sceski and Bishop Timothy C. Senior. MCA is unique to other organizations that assist children in that its primary aim is to encourage children to share their faith with children in the developing world through their prayers, personal sacrifices and financial offerings.
Our students carry this lesson into other aspects of their school year. MCA donations are accepted for our themed dress down days, held once a month. Our 8th grade students also run a Mission Cart of small items that students can purchase, with 100% of the proceeds going to MCA. We thank our families, students, and faculty for their continued generosity to MCA, as more events and activities are being planned for this school year!
Happy Thanksgiving from OMPH School
Our 6th Grade students organized our annual school food drive, benefitting the OMPH Parish Food Bank. Thank you to our families for giving so generously this Thanksgiving season!
