This is the ministry that works directly on behalf of children attending our school.  Participation in this ministry is unique because members are the parents and guardians of children enrolled in the school.  School faculty also are members of this ministry.  There is no official registration, rather membership is a benefit bestowed on the faculty and on adults whose families attend the school.

The objective of this association is the advancement of the Catholic education and welfare of all students.  This ministry provides the opportunity for parents, guardians, and teachers to work together to achieve that end.  It is important that parents and guardians realize this ministry belongs to all its members.  The association meets five times during the school year to work on attending various objectives.

One goal of the ministry is to keep our parishioners advised of what the students are doing because our parish subsidizes the school.  The Home and School Association works to inform parishioners of students' academic progress, current projects, open house days when everyone is encouraged to visit our school, and so on.

The quality of St. Patrick School education and the caliber of its students are due in part to the work of all who are, or have been, a part of our Home and School Association.  If you would like more information about this ministry and the role you might play in sharing this stewardship of time and talent, please call president Carol Timko, at (302) 234-2035.
