Dear Fighting Irish Football Fans,

It is with great pleasure and pride that I am coming back to St. Patrick’s High School. Twenty years ago, I was a teacher at St. Pat’s but also a football coach for 6 years back then. I’m very happy to see that my predecessor Mr. Stephen Pigeon worked so hard at bringing the pride of the Fighting Irish back to the field. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him in the name of everybody involved in the program and the students for all the work he has done. The Fighting Irish are grateful to you. Good job!

I also would like to take this opportunity to say that I will be a strong supporter of the football program. There is a solid organization in place. The football parent committee is doing a fantastic job in supporting our program by organizing many activities and fund-raising events within the school’s foundation. Your continued support is fundamental to the success of the program. Thank you!

The success of the Fighting Irish football program is built around a dedicated coaching staff, an unconditional support from the parents, the tenacious will and desire from our students to represent themselves and the school with great pride and dignity, and finally on strong values such as, team work, tremendous effort and self-accomplishment.

St. Patrick’s High School is then fulfilling her mission of educating our students through interscholastic sports, competitive football as well as the classroom.
Thanks to everybody who dares to make the difference in our students’ life and to continue the tradition.

André Gosselin, Principal
St. Patrick's High School

WORD FROM OUR HONORARY PATRON

The mission of a football coach goes far beyond teaching the technical aspects of the game, writing the play book and motivating the players during the games as well as during practices; it also involves teaching personal discipline, total dedication, team spirit, respect of yourself and of others and pride in your colors, as much in your studies that in your sport.

In order to be able to teach those very important elements of sports and of life, one must have himself learned it somewhere and for me, my unforgettable passage at St-Patrick’s High School was definitely one of the stepping stones towards the abilities that I have developed to pass it on to my players and coaching staff.

For that and for the great years that I had the privilege to live at St-Patrick’s, I shall always be grateful and will always remain a great supporter of the School and of course, of its football program.

The red and gold colors are now part of my everyday life but the green will always remain deeply printed in my heart and soul.
I congratulate the direction, the parents, the teachers, the coaches and the sponsors of St-Patrick’s High School for carrying so high that great tradition of excellence that have done so much for me.

GO, St-Pat’s, GO !
