CATHOLIC IDENTITY
Unapologetically Catholic
Daily Lighting of Candles
Every morning, 12 students light candles before our icon of Mary in the gym. Each child says a prayer for someone they choose and light the candle. They pray for grandparents, aunts & uncles, for their moms & dads, brothers & sister. Some even remember someone in the prayers from mass of Sunday.
Living Nativity
St. Patrick School believes in both a spiritual and academic education. All students participate in our Catholic faith, daily, through weekly mass, monthly service projects, and in class instruction as we serve the Lord with joyful hearts. With our classical curriculum, we integrate our Catholic faith into all aspects of school life.

Prayer Wall
Our Prayer Wall continues its beautiful transformation. students and staff pause to allow a reminder to pray for others. We pray that each student truly flourishes in their faith and learns what it means to live a life of virtue.
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."
Colossians 4:2
