St. Irenaeus School Testimonial

"I am honored to be an alumna of St. Irenaeus Parish School, Class of 1997. My time at this wonderful parish community, from kindergarten through eighth grade, was truly cherished, and I continued my Catholic education through high school at Rosary High School.

When it came time to make decisions for our sons, choosing to enroll them in a Catholic school was an easy and deeply meaningful choice. My husband and I are both blessed to have received a Catholic education from elementary through high school, and we are so grateful for the strong foundation it provided us. The faith we share as a family is a precious gift, one we are excited to pass down to our children.

The sense of community at St. Irenaeus has been incredibly warm and welcoming. We have built lasting relationships with other families, and I know those bonds will continue to grow as the years go by. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind I feel every morning when I drop off my boys, knowing that every adult in the school cares for them as much as I do. I have complete confidence that they are not only safe, but that they are in an environment that upholds the values we cherish as a family.

It has been such a joy to watch my sons grow each year into faith-filled, compassionate individuals—critical thinkers, effective communicators, and engaged global citizens. The ongoing impact of Catholic education in our lives fills me with immense gratitude.

I am especially thankful for the emphasis on stewardship, the opportunity for regular Mass participation, the reflection time through class retreats, and the daily prayer that brings the entire school community together. It’s not the big moments that shape us, but the small, everyday practices that build character and deepen faith.

Thank you, St. Irenaeus, for embracing us as part of your family. We are forever grateful to be a part of this remarkable community."
