Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve
...And Serve Our Community Did.
|
|
|
"It was great talking to everyone and hearing all of the positive things that people had to share. We have an incredible community and I’m proud to be a part of it."
—Rick Young

The commitment to serve is the motto of St. Vincent de Paul High School and a commitment that alumni and the community continue to honor decades after matriculating.
Spearheaded by Board of Regents member Rick Young, proprietor of Sonoma Marin Construction, the high school campus received a multi-day campus refresh. Inspired by the start of the Centennial Year, Rick donated his employees time and talents, alongside many Petaluma based businesses to give back to the school. Saint Vincent de Paul High School has been a cornerstone for generations of families for years.
For nearly a week, the SVdP campus was filled with arborists and electricians, painters and plumbers. During the weekend, after a school-wide outreach nearly 50 people were working together.
Currently enrolled families and alumni from Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Novato, and San Rafael arrived to take part.
On Monday and Tuesday a hand-full of volunteers finished with the last touche
s as summer vacation ended and the
centennial
school year began.
With deepest gratitude we thank all our volunteers, families and businesses who care for us: Sonoma-Marin Landscaping, Traci's Drywall, Ace Insulation, Marco's Painting, Antonis Construction, Vaca Landscaping, Keller Moore Paint, Robert and Caroline Schariffer/ Audio Visual Design Group, Peterson Paint, Friedman Brothers, Harris Construction, Jerry and Don's Pump and Well, Rigney's Plumbing, Cal West Rental, and Hiram Ceja Landscaping.

CANCER DOESN'T
SLEEP, BUT NEITHER
DO TEENAGERS
|
|
This weekend, 60 SVdP students will spend 24 hours running in service to the American Cancer Society's
Relay for Life
at Casa Grande High School in Petaluma.
SVdP began creating teams
19
years ago and has raised over $
250,000
for this cause. While some students and families have experienced close personal loss and run in memory of those they loved; others come to support and create change. We encourage our community to come by for even an hour and visit us —or sponsor any one of the St. Vincent High School teams online at
RelayforLife Petaluma
!
