PLEASE JOIN US FOR CHAPEL HONORING FACULTY AND STAFF ON FRIDAY, MAY 18, AT 8:30 AM

We will celebrate our talented and dedicated faculty and staff at a special chapel on Friday, May 18, at 8:30 am in the Nave. Even as we honor all of the faculty and staff who help make St. Patrick's such a special place, we will also recognize certain individuals for their service, including two departing (dare we say "retiring"?) longtime educators—school counselor David Evans and Nursery School associate teacher Mendy Thaler—and those celebrating anniversary years of service. We will also award the Love of Teaching Award, the O'Neil-Carew Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching, and the Jeff Keffer Service Award.
