Learning Fair
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, Monday May 1st during the 8:00 school mass.
Students, and anyone attending mass that day, may bring fresh, unwrapped flowers to lay before Mary as we process in to mass that day.
*Students who bring flowers may wear a blue top of their choice with jeans or 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 Thursday May 25th. Please use the link below to sign-up by Monday May 8th to participate in the Talent Show AND to audition that week. The audition process is to ensure acts are finalized and ready for performance the following week. 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.

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
Click here for the SCRIP order form. SCRIP can be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.
