Our son loves his school. It's is so nice to drop off and pick up and be greeted by name. You will love it here! From academics, faith, compassion, safety, and care if that's what you are looking for, this is the place.

Erika Rosales CruzParent

Saint Patrick Catholic School is a remarkable place. I am struck by how many of those students I still keep in regular contact with. I have built lifelong friends in this community.

We put two children through Saint Patrick Catholic School and we see the results every single day in their character, their dedication to their studies, and most importantly for us, in their faith lives.

☘️ School may be out, but Shamrocks still love to play! ☀️

We snapped this sweet shot of our youngest Shamrocks soaking up the sunshine on the school playground on the last day of school—just one of the many places they’ll be climbing, sliding, and laughing this summer.

Western Washington is full of amazing parks and playgrounds—what’s your favorite one to visit when school’s out? Drop it in the comments and build the ultimate summer playground list! 🌳🛝

🗽 East Coast Trip Stop: Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, NYC 🕊️

Next on our journey: the awe-inspiring Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, a beacon of faith in the heart of New York City. As the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York and the largest Gothic cathedral in the U.S., it spans an entire city block. It welcomes over five million visitors annually—for prayer, peace, or to take in its breathtaking beauty.

Highlights include:
✨ The moving Pietà sculpture by William Partridge—three times larger than Michelangelo’s.
🎩 Four red galeros (cardinals' hats) hanging from the ceiling, a powerful symbol of service and legacy in the Church.
