Yesterday our 8th graders received their diplomas at a special evening Graduation Mass and today they celebrated with their class trip! We will miss their leadership and presence at St. Patrick's but can't wait to see what the future holds. Congratulations and God Bless Class of 2026!

Yesterday's Field Day with Fathers was a massive success! From races and games to lunch and laughs, it was the perfect afternoon of fun for our students and their amazing Dads and father figures.

Congratulations to all our scholarship award winners this year! They were honored a few weeks ago for their various accomplishments.

We had two beautiful May Crowning's earlier this month! The second grade students helped us honor Mary during Mass in the morning. Then the eighth Grade students led us in praying the rosary after crowning Mary in the grotto.

Father Tom treated the eighth-grade class to lunch at the Rectory today!

Good Luck to our Girls on the Run team tomorrow morning as they travel to GVSU for their Celebration 5K!

Congratulations to our Second Grade students on making their First Communion!
