Faith-Centered Education

We are dedicated to educating students of all faiths and backgrounds, challenging students to achieve personal and academic excellence.

On March 8, the Archdiocese announced the closing of St Roch School at the end of the current academic year.

When Monsignor Polizzi arrived here in 1981, St. Roch was at a crossroads.  Through his strength, the Parish persevered.  Today we are at another crossroads.  While the School will not continue the next journey with us, the Parish, with our strength, will persevere once again.  The Archdiocese’s decision regarding the School does not close the Parish.  Our appeal of the Archbishop’s closure decree remains active and alive at the Vatican.  It is important to continue supporting the Parish, financially and otherwise.  Please make sure you continue your Sunday and other gifts.

In Their Own Words

  • “St. Roch School is unlike any other Catholic school in the diocese. Its academic reputation precedes it, and in the six years we have had children there, we have been most pleased with the academics. The community of parents and students at St. Roch is beautifully diverse, and this sets it apart from all other schools in the diocese.”

    — Amy and Jerry, St Roch Parents

  • “The teachers really care, and I’m better prepared for high school than my friends at other schools.”

    — Current Eight Grade Student

  • “St Roch is such a rewarding place to work. Parents, teachers and students all work together to help our kids excel!”
