help support saint patrick academy
Today, SPA remains a mission-driven school anchored on the truths of the Catholic Faith and provides students and families with excellence in both spiritual formation and academics. The goal is to inspire children to be fully alive in a perfect union of mind and heart. Students come to see that they are made in the image and likeness of a God who loves them. This love, which resides at the center of the curriculum, then becomes the source of students’ confidence, trust, and joy, shaping their souls and freeing them to live a happy life.
Schools that set a strong foundation in the Catholic Faith, virtue, academic excellence and service to others are becoming rare. Our students couldn’t thrive without the generosity of Saint Patrick Academy supporters throughout the years, and we’re always grateful to receive donations and financial support.
Your donation to the SPA Annual Fund ensures that we are able to offer a life-changing education to all.
