Every Shamrock has a story.

At Saint Patrick High School, success isn't defined by where a young man starts - it's shaped by the character he builds, the opportunities he embraces, and the brotherhood that helps him grow.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Greg '70 and Carol Josefowicz, stories like this are possible. Their commitment to making a Saint Patrick education accessible is transforming lives... one student at a time.

This is a powerful reminder of what's possible when faith, hard work, opportunity, and the support of a caring community come together.

Last week, we hosted our Filmmaking Crash Course Summer Camp. Campers received a hands-on introduction to the world of filmmaking, learning everything from screenwriting and storyboarding to cinematography and editing using professional cameras, microphones, and editing software. 🎬

Throughout the week, students collaborated to create their own short films and wrapped up camp with a special screening of their projects on the big screen in the Theatre. 🎥

Missed this camp? There’s still plenty of summer left! St. Pat’s is offering a variety of camps throughout the season in athletics, engineering, fine arts, and more. Register today at stpatrick.org/camps. ☘️
