St. Patrick Catholic School

The Second Week of Advent the Peace candle is lit.

December 11, 2025

We are excited to close out our Annual Appeal with the highly anticipated Main Event on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cedar Falls. This joyful evening will feature hors d’oeuvres, live and silent auctions, and entertainment by Dueling Pianos. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate community, share in fellowship, and invest in the future of our students.

This year, our focus remains on the Student Impact Fund, a vital resource that enhances every aspect of our students’ educational experience. The Student Impact Fund allows us to strengthen academic programs, support our teachers, improve classroom resources, and ensure that every child at St. Patrick Catholic School has access to exceptional learning opportunities rooted in faith.

If you have not had an opportunity to contribute to our Annual Appeal you still have time. Letters have been mailed out to families and friends of St. Patrick. Each letter includes a donor card for your convenience. This annual tradition invites us to celebrate the kindness and compassion that unite us. Whether through a small act of generosity or a larger contribution to a cause close to your heart, every gift, big or small, makes a meaningful difference.

Donations from the Annual Appeal, combined with the proceeds from the Main Event, play a crucial role in bridging the gap between the true cost of educating each student and the funding we receive through tuition, assistance, and parish support. Your generosity ensures that we can continue to offering a high-quality Catholic education to all families who seek it.

We look forward to a wonderful evening of fellowship, celebration, and shared purpose. Thank you for supporting St. Patrick Catholic School and the students we are blessed to serve.

Blessings,

Mr. Wiebers
