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.

Emily Keller '84Teacher

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.

Laura DoughertyParent of Alum

Saint Patrick Catholic School has given me footholds so I can strive for academic success.

Nativity sets are taking shape! Middle School students are creating two complete nativity sets.

Students formed teams, each choosing two or three characters to craft.

The finished sets will be displayed in two locations within the school during the Advent 🕯️ and Christmas 🎄 seasons.

The Hedricks family won the third drawing for Kraken tickets during our Annual Fund 25 Pledge Incentive campaign. The Hedricks are Saint Patrick Church parishioners and the parents of three Shamrock alums, including Dawson, class of 2021, who attended the game with his father, Jim.

Thank you, RJ and Sandra Ryder, friends of Saint Patrick Catholic School, for their generous contribution to the Annual Fund 2025: Building Tomorrow Together.

As enthusiastic supporters of healthy competition, they provided five sets of tickets, with two seats per game, to watch the Seattle Kraken play at Climate Pledge Arena.

They inspired others to help bridge the gap between the cost of education and tuition by giving to the 2025 Annual Fund. The Ryders help continue Saint Patrick Catholic School's 132-year legacy of Catholic Education in Tacoma. As grandparents of a current student at the school, the Ryders are committed to investing in Catholic education for their grandchild and future generations.

If you've made your pledge, THANK YOU. If you haven't, please consider making a year-end gift now at go.saintpats.org/donate

This morning, McNeil G., our enthusiastic handyman, lent a hand to Mr. Uc, the facilities manager, in a grand fencing adventure!

Together, they fixed the fence and made the playground safe and sound.

Repairs are much more fun with a little helper. Don't you agree?

4th-grade saints in the making focused on Lectio Divina, a form of prayer, and Catholic Social Teaching that emphasizes, "The world was made by God, so we take care of all creation."

Families generously donated snacks, lunch, and treats for the retreat at Saint Patrick Catholic Church. Shamrocks were equipped with a worry cross, a personalized booklet for prayer at home, a rosary, an Irish Blessing prayer card, and a bag to hold the sacramentals.
