Yearbook Orders – Deadline MONDAY!

May Crowning

For centuries, the Catholic Church has set aside the entire month of May to honor Mary, Mother of God. We plan to crown Mary, Our Mother, Tuesday May 7th during the 8:00 school mass.

Students may bring fresh, unwrapped flowers to lay before Mary as we process in to mass that day.

*Students may wear blue on top with uniform bottoms to honor Mary this day.  All tops should have sleeves, no holes, hoods, or crop-tops please.


Talent Show

The Talent Show is scheduled for Tuesday May 24th.  Please use the link below to sign-up by Monday May 6th to participate in the Talent Show AND to audition the week week of May 6th during music class.  The audition process is to ensure acts are rehearsed and finalized to ensure students are ready for performance on Thursday May 23rd.  If students are not prepared for the audition they will be asked to take this year off, and audition again next year.  Please help your children to practice and prepare so they are prepared for their audition.

Holy Moments

Do something active. Taking care of yourself and getting active is a great Holy Moment! Let’s pause for a moment and reflect on one way you want to be active today. Did you know regular activity can boost your mood, improve your brain power, and keep you healthy? Today’s the day. And remember, some moments are holy. Some moments are unholy. And you decide!

Tips to Create This Holy Moment:
– Invite a friend or family member to go on a walk.
– Play a game outside that you enjoy.
– Sign up to play a sport!

Nebraska Catholic Day of Giving is May 1st, 2024


As you know, the mission of Saint Patrick Catholic School is to form students who possess strong religious values, academic integrity, individual responsibility, and a clear sense of citizenship. The school assists the parents in their role as the main educators of their children, offering a complete education, both secular and religious.  In order to continue this mission, St. Patrick is dedicated to improving our school facilities by adding an outdoor classroom to our school grounds. Any funds raised this year will be used for this and future projects. Thank you in advance for your generous gifts!

Please join us during Nebraska Catholic Day of Giving to invest in our school facilities for St. Patrick School!  https://nebraska.igivecatholictogether.org/organizations/st-patrick-catholic-church-15da05f2-118d-4b59-ae98-cb9ff149dc43

Fundraisers

SCRIP

What is Scrip? “Scrip” turns everyday shopping into cash for the St. Patrick Church and School. Purchase gift cards at face value in advance to use at checkout, instead of paying with credit, debit card, check or cash.

How Does It Work? Purchase gift cards at face value from local merchants who designate their own discount percentage ranging from 1.5% to 30%. The discount amount translates to profit for the St. Patrick!

  • $50 Marcus Theatres gift card at 8% = $4 St. Patrick profit
  • $100 Walmart gift card at 2.% = $2.50 St. Patrick profit

Purchase SCRIP before shopping by filling out this form and turning it into the parish office or call in your order to the rectory at 402.466.2752 and we can prepare your order ahead for you. SCRIP can  also be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.

We’re excited to share that our school is participating in Cash for Classrooms, part of Casey’s Rewards. This opens up St. Patrick School to new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students.
The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you buy from Casey’s and use their rewards program you can simply turn your points into a donation to our school.
Help St. Patrick School make the most of this program and learn more at Caseys.com/schools.
