A Letter From Our Principal

Dear Friends of St. Patrick Catholic School,

Thank you for partnering with St. Patrick Catholic School. By participating in this year's Green and Gold Gala and Auction-whether attending, offering your time, bidding on items, or making a donation in support of the evening-100% of our students benefit from your generosity.

We join together to enjoy a celebratory night that advances the mission of our school: to foster a community where students grow in faith and knowledge in order to bring Christ's light to the world. Many of the programs and school enhancements have been a direct result of contributions from families and friends who have partnered with St. Pats. I thank you in advance for your gifts of time and treasure so that St. Patrick Catholic School may continue to deliver an excellent Catholic education for our students. We help shape the next generation of faithful, bold, and compassionate leaders. I am excited to continue our work together to fulfill God's vision for our students and our school. The school we have today is the result of the dedicated supporters who came before us. It is our responsibility to ensure that future generations can benefit from all that St. Patrick Catholic School has to offer. We are blessed to have generous and supportive members of our community.

For this year's Green and Gold Gala, we will be raising funds to resurface the hard courts, which we refer to as the Blue Top. Last year, we raised funds for our beautiful new state-of-the-art playground, and we are excited to maintain and beautify our campus.

Thank you for being part of this community of supporters who are essential to ensuring a thriving St. Pats. We look forward to seeing you at our Green and Gold Gala and Auction on October 12, 2024. Please join me in praying for the success of this event and for a fruitful school year.

Whether you are one of the many volunteers, attending the event, or participating from home, I offer my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for all that you do!

Thank you for being the light!

Brian Sestito | Principal
