“From Mary we learn to surrender to God’s Will in all things.  From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone.  From Mary we learn to love Christ her Son and the Son of God”.  – St. John Paul II
 

May Greetings!

The month of May is an exciting time as the earth springs into bloom and thoughts of planting, outdoor activities, trips to the beach and family vacations abound.  The month of May is also the Month of Mary.  For centuries our Church has set aside not just a day but the entire month to honor Mary, the Mother of God.  During this time, let us all remember our Blessed Mother and honor her with family prayer and the recitation of the Holy Rosary.

We also honor our earthly mothers on Mother’s Day.  We wish all mothers a restful weekend and express our gratitude to you for all you do not only for your children but for all the children of St. Patrick’s School.

We congratulate our Second Graders on their First Holy Communion and our Eighth Graders on receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation.

We also pause this month to remember all those who bravely made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Let us remember this on Memorial Day as we gather with friends and family and give thanks for our country and our freedom.    

Sincerely,
Barbara Pellerito

“What are you looking for?”




John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”  The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.  Jesus turned and saw them following Him and said to them, “What are you looking for?”  They said to him, “Rabbi” – which translated means Teacher -, “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and you will see.”  John 1:35

As parents, what are you looking for as far as your child’s education?  Academics, values, opportunities?  St. Patrick School is a parish school that has been providing quality education to area students for over 50 years.  We follow strict academic guidelines and are blessed with a dedicated faculty which allows each student to reach their maximum academic potential.  At the same time, we foster the social, emotional and moral growth of each student through the inclusion of our religious studies and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.  Students receive personalized attention and benefit from the friendly and loving atmosphere that we provide.   

Graduates of St. Patrick School have gone on to successful careers in all the trades, business, medicine, law, and religious life.  All of this has been accomplished within the framework of our Catholic tradition which includes among other things monthly attendance at Mass.

As Jesus invited the first of his disciples to “come and see”, St. Patrick School invites you to “come and see” what we have to offer.
