ROOTED IN FAITH, GROWING OUR FUTURE

In 2026, St. Patrick Catholic School proudly celebrates 75 years of faith, knowledge, and virtue. We invite you to join us for a historic 75th Anniversary Auction as we return to our roots in the Parish Life Center—the site of our very first classrooms in 1951. 

This evening is more than just a milestone; it is a homecoming for our families and a transformative opportunity for our partners. 

Whether you are joining us to celebrate our shared history or partnering with us as a sponsor to build our future, your presence is a testament to the strong roots that ground us and the bright future we are building together. Join us in honoring 75 years of excellence and investing in the generations to come.

LIVE AUCTION AND PADDLE RAISE

Our live auction will feature thoughtfully curated items and experiences—from unique community offerings to unforgettable packages—that inspire generosity and excitement.

The paddle raise is the heart of the evening, where our community comes together in a powerful moment of collective giving. This year, we are intentionally offering giving opportunities for Safety & Security and Campus Enhancements, allowing each guest to support what they feel most called to prioritize.

In this moment, we respond not just as donors, but as a faith community coming together to care for our students, protect our environment, and strengthen the foundation of St. Patrick School for years to come.

OUR PURPOSE

Together, we are raising funds to strengthen and protect the future of St. Patrick School.

Your generosity will directly support:

SAFETY & SECURITY UPGRADES
Ensuring the protection of every student, teacher, and visitor through critical safety enhancements, updated systems, and infrastructure improvements. A safe environment is foundational to our mission and our responsibility as a faith community.

GYMNASIUM ENHANCEMENTS
Improving our shared spaces to better serve student life, athletics, and gatherings—creating an environment that is welcoming, functional, and reflective of the excellence we strive for.

During the evening, you will have the opportunity to participate in a live auction and a dedicated paddle raise, allowing you to prayerfully and personally decide where your support will have the greatest impact.

As stewards of God’s gifts, we recognize that giving is not only generosity, it is discernment. Every gift reflects what matters most, and every contribution helps shape the future of St. Patrick School. We thank you for your support!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I wear?

The suggested attire for the evening is black tie. We invite you to wear your finest formal wear, including tuxedos or tailored dark suits for men and floor length gowns or dressy evening separates for women. Thank you for your understanding and dressing to match the elegance of the evening. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Why the PLC?

A 75th anniversary celebration might have you envisioning a grand ballroom when you think of a black-tie worthy venue. 

But this year we are doing something better.

We are coming home.

Because for one night, this space will be completely reimagined—elevated, refined, and transformed into something truly special. Think less “PLC as you know it” and more “elegant evening you didn’t see coming.”

And the best part? This intentional choice allows us to invest every possible dollar back into what matters most: our students, our school, and the mission we all believe in. 

Every detail and decision has led us to be the most faithful stewards of your gifts and support. We can't wait to celebrate together! 

Where can I park?

Parking will be available in the main parking lot of the church. You are also welcome to purchase VIP parking at the PLC when you purchase your event tickets. 

What is the bar policy?

A complimentary open bar will be available to attendees throughout the evening. We look forward to raising a glass with you while raising funds for our school!
