On behalf of the Archdiocese of NY, our inspirational Monsignor, Fr. Joseph Giandurco,
our esteemed alumni, our gifted faculty and staff, and our valued students and families, it
is an honor to welcome you to our school. In these unprecedented times, our school
community has, through the grace of God, persevered and been granted the strength to
endure.
This year will bring with-it continued challenges and obstacles. As a school community,
we remain vigilant and evermore mindful of our mission: to maintain a rigorous
academic environment and afford students the opportunity to develop in a spiritual,
social-emotional, personal, and physical capacity.
At St. Patrick’s School, we seek to: establish innovative program initiatives (through a
blended-learning focus), foster core Catholic values, encourage the personal and
professional development of our faculty and staff, engage families and the local
community, and promote a safe, and conducive, learning-environment for all students.
With nearly 100 years of rich academic and spiritual tradition, St. Patrick’s has woven a
culture that far exceeds that of a standard institution. Here at St. Patrick’s, we operate as
a collaborative family, incorporating the perspectives of parents, students, staff & faculty
in our daily decision-making. We promote a vision that subscribes to the notion that
communication is key and that a village not only raises a child, but educates one, as well.
Our faculty & staff promote a supportive climate that fosters self-exploration and
academic and spiritual intrigue. Each faculty member highlights an open forum for
thought wherein the student flourishes and develops a keen sense of critical thinking,
self-worth, and purpose. As our students exit our doors, they are equipped with the
devices vital to succeed on the secondary level and become productive members of
society, thereafter.
We thank everyone for the continued support and encouragement and are thrilled to
welcome you to the St. Patrick’s community.
May Christ bless you and your family.
Respectfully yours,
Mr. John Amelio
Principal
