St. Patrick Preschool

At St. Patrick Preschool, we cherish each child as a precious son or daughter of God, nurturing their exploration of their unique gifts. Our approach includes a curriculum guided by preparation, assessments, and daily instruction rooted in a Christ-centered view. Additionally, we offer a play-based learning environment that encourages investigation and discovery. With our small class sizes, your child will receive the individualized attention and care they need to truly thrive.

Father McFadden Fund

Named in honor of one of our most dedicated supporters and former pastors, this annual campaign is vital for the continued growth and development of St. Patrick School. The fund relies on the generosity of our community—parents, grandparents, alumni, local businesses, staff, and administration—to support initiatives that go beyond what tuition covers.

This year’s goal is $20,000, and every contribution, whether it’s $5, $25, $100, or more, is greatly appreciated and will be used effectively. Your donation helps us further our mission to educate the whole child—Mind, Body, and Spirit.

There’s no better investment than a child’s Catholic education, and your support will have a lasting impact. We invite you to partner with us in this important campaign. To make a donation, visit the school office, or mail a check made out to St. Patrick School. Thank you for your consideration and support.
