Parent Organization
Parents and guardians of children presently attending St. Petronille, as well as all faculty and clergy, are automatically members of the Parent Organization.
The purpose of the organization is to provide the opportunity for communication between parents with common interest, as well as to enlist the spiritual, educational and social resources of the home and school to provide the best Catholic education possible.
The Parent Organization fundraises throughout the year. The money raised by these events enables the organization to subsidize many programs such as Fine Arts, Athletics and Enrichment Clubs, as well as address any particular need or shortage not covered by current school funds. It also allows for the Parent Organization to sponsor informative Parent Education Nights for education and civic interest.

The organization encourages the integration of families into the life of the school community through the many social activities they sponsor throughout the year, as well as the multi-faceted volunteer program that enables members to participate in the day-to-day operation of the school programs.
Regular PO meetings are held once a month, usually the third Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. These meetings are open and all members are encouraged to attend.

Spritual Enrichment
The Spiritual Enrichment Committee supports the efforts of the St. Petronille School faculty as they strive to bring the children to Jesus. Committee members offer support to faculty members and the principal in meeting the Faith Formation Curriculum and Standards as set forth by the Joliet Diocese. Specific programs and responsibilities vary from year to year depending upon the needs of the principal, faculty and students.
Tuition Credit
The St. Petronille Tuition Credit program offers school parents the opportunity to buy store certificates and gift cards at face value while earning credit toward their school tuition.
The 2008/2009 Program is administered by Colleen LaMantia, Lorraine McDermott and Merilee Turner, and is supported by many loyal parent volunteers.
