A Letter From Our Principal

Dear Friends of St. Patrick Catholic School,

Thank you for your continued support of St. Patrick Catholic School. Because of the incredible success of the Green and Gold Gala, we were able to complete several major campus improvements that are already blessing our students each and every day.

As a direct result of your generosity, we were able to build a new playground in the summer of 2024, creating a safe and joyful space for our students to play and grow. In the summer of 2025, we revitalized our "blue top" with a full resurfacing and repainting, breathing new life into one of the most active and well-loved areas of campus. Most recently, thanks to the support of our 2025 Green and Gold Gala, we replaced the aging  tables in our lunch pavilion, with the new lunch tables installed this past winter. Most importantly, these enhancements directly enrich the daily experience of our students-supporting their growth, joy, and sense of community. With your continued support, we look forward to expanding opportunities for our students and enhancing our campus even further in the years to come.

These improvements are more than upgrades, they are a testament to the power of community and our shared commitment to the mission of St. Patrick Catholic School: to foster a community where students grow in faith and knowledge in order to bring Christ's light to the world.

In addition to these campus upgrades, the Green and Gold Gala plays a vital role in supporting the financial health and long-term stability of St. Patrick Catholic School, ensuring we can continue to provide a strong faith-based education for years to come. This year marks our third Green and Gold Gala on our beautiful campus, and we are excited to build upon the success of our previous events. We are grateful for your gifts of time, talent, and treasure, as the school we enjoy today is the fruit of your generosity, and we look forward to building an even stronger future together.

Please mark your calendars for this year's Green and Gold Gala and Auction on October 10, 2026. It promises to be another joyful evening in celebration of our mission and our amazing community. Whether you attend, become a sponsor, donate an item, or participate from home, your support makes a lasting difference.

Thank you for being the light!

With gratitude,
Brian Sestito

A Letter From Our Pastor

Dear Saint Patrick's School Families,

Blessings to you all! I am delighted to finally take a moment to introduce myself. It has been just over two weeks since my arrival, and these first days have been a beautiful whirlwind. One of the great joys of my priesthood has always been serving in Catholic education. I was blessed to be formed in Catholic schools myself - the Salesians guided me until high school - and I have experienced the fruits of that formation many times over.

Here at St. Patrick, I already see the beauty of what our school offers. My time as chaplain at St. James Academy in Solana Beach taught me how deeply Catholic education can shape not just minds, but hearts. It is a gift to be part of this community where faith and learning grow together. With that in mind, I am thrilled to invite you to our Annual Auction benefiting St. Patrick Catholic School! This special evening is more than just a fundraiser - it is a joyful celebration of our school family.

Why Your Participation Matters

• Building Community: Your presence strengthens the bonds that make St. Patrick's such a welcoming and faith-filled school that builds strong minds and compassionate hearts.
• Enriching Student Life: The funds we raise will go directly toward enhancing our students' education and experiences.
• Keeping Catholic Education Accessible: Your generosity helps us continue offering excellent education while keeping tuition affordable for families.
  
  

What You Can Expect

• An evening filled with joy, laughter, and fellowship and the chance to make a lasting difference in the lives of our students and the community we are building together. This is all while getting to bid on unique items and experiences that include dinner with the Pastor, me!

Your support means so much and has a tremendous impact. Whether you come to enjoy the evening, win an auction item, or simply be part of the celebration, every contribution matters and blesses our school community. I cannot wait to see you there - let's make this a night to remember!

With blessings and heartfelt gratitude,

Fr. George G. Perez, CJM, 
Pastor | St. Patrick Catholic Community
