Dear Fighting Irish Football Fans,

The 2012 season represents a big step in the progression of our football program. The successes of our football teams, especially Bantam and Junior this year, are the direct result of many different factors. The quality of the organization provided at St. Pat’s, starting with the football concentration program, the development of players starting right from Secondary I, and the high-quality coaching staff – thanks to the implication of former students who are really making a difference. Great job everyone! We must now look straight ahead, and keep going in the same direction.

I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm my support of the St. Pat’s football program. We have a solid structure in place. The Football Parent Committee is doing a fantastic job in supporting our program by putting together many activities and fundraising events within the school’s foundation. Your continued support and commitment is fundamental to the success of the program. Thank you!

Not only is the success of the Fighting Irish football program built around a dedicated coaching staff and unconditional support from the parents, but it stems first and foremost from the players’ tenacious will and their strong desire to represent their school with pride and dignity. This fact alone speaks volumes about values such as team work, effort, and self-accomplishment, which we strive to instill into our students though interscholastic sports, competitive football, as well as through academics.

Thanks to everyone who dares make a difference in our students’ life; this is definitely what keeps the St. Pat’s tradition very much alive.

WORD FROM OUR HONORARY PATRON

Another football season is going on for St. Pat’s green jerseys and once again, I want to extend my best wishes of success and mainly, of fun to all the team members, including the players, the coaches, the management and the volunteers surrounding St. Pat’s and high school football.

If I mention success and pleasure, it is because football must be both a competitive activity and a formation process. Of course, when we compete, we always want to win and this is a fact that grows up along the degree of the sport caliber. However, especially at high school level, sport must mainly be an amusement, a pleasure and an opportunity to create new contacts and make new friends; it must also be a school of human values where we learn to respect his team, his logo, his teammates, his coaches and his opponents.

Sport and especially team sport like football is a great school of life and I can assume it myself since it is at St. Pat’s that I have personally started my football career and ever since, I have always been deeply attached to the green jerseys.

So my message to every St. Pat’s player is have fun and surpass yourself and if you develop your skills, your athletic capacities and your passion for football, who knows? There might be a University nearby, waiting for you.
