Dear Families, Alumni and Guests,
“These words that I command you today shall be upon your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and speak of them when you sit at home, when you walk along the way, when you lie down, and when you rise.” (Deuteronomy 6:6–7)
At St. Patrick’s School, we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child—spiritually, academically, athletically, and artistically. Working in partnership with families, our staff helps students grow into the Saints they are called to be, fostering Christian leadership, responsible citizenship, and a lifelong love of learning. Within our Catholic school community, students are enriched through liturgical celebrations, service projects, and a wide range of co-curricular opportunities. Guided by our pastor, Father Matthew To, we place God at the heart of all we do, trusting in His wisdom and grace.
“Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
At St. Patrick’s School, we share in the mission of the Church to proclaim the Gospel and help build the Kingdom of God. This year, our Archdiocesan theme—“Living, Celebrating, and PROCLAIMING Our Faith”—calls us to joyfully witness to Christ in all that we do. We warmly invite families to take an active role in celebrating our Catholic faith—both within our school community and through participation in our parish family at St. Patrick’s and our neighbouring St. Luke’s Parish. The active involvement of parents not only enriches the faith life of our school but also strengthens the bonds of our wider Catholic community.
With dedication and effort, we can guide our students to reach their fullest potential.
We are CELTICS!
Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Maria Fonseca, Principal
St. Patrick’s School, Maple Ridge
