PACELLI CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

Since 1913, Pacelli has been the home for a faith-based education in Austin, MN. Following in the Catholic Educational Tradition of scholastic achievement for the glory of God, our students thrive in small class sizes mentored by their knowledgeable teachers. Our alumni network now spans the entire United States and our alumni are doing amazing things in their respective fields of work- empowered by the stellar education that is provided by Pacelli. 

At Pacelli Catholic Schools, we root ourselves in our three pillar values: Faith, Scholarship, and Service. These three values define not only who we are, but also how we act and how school days play out on our campus. Our entire identity is rooted in Faith. Our school year begins and ends with Mass, school days and all classes begin with prayer, and our school community bonds as a Faith Family in many occasions throughout the year such as weekly school Masses, Advent Wreath lighting, Stations of the Cross, and reciting the Rosary each week. 

Our students are capable scholars. Aided by a 1:1 technology device program while in school, our students enter college and the workforce with necessary skills and knowledge to express themselves, adapt to adversity, problem solve, collaborate with others, and ultimately succeed. Our students immerse themselves in extracurriculars such as HOSA, Youth in Government, Model United Nations, and Math Masters while also participating in such programs like American Legion Boys State and Girls State, the House of Representatives Page Program, and St. Mary's University's Countdown to College Program.

Our students habitually serve others. In situations from classroom mentorship and peer leadership to larger acts of community service and volunteerism, our students learn early and fast that the world is full of people and causes in need of helping hands. Raising money, performing acts of service, and lending a kind deed to someone in need are all examples of our students rising above the troubles of this world to be living models of Christ's love to all. 

For more than 110 years, Pacelli Catholic Schools has been a WONDER-FULL place to receive an education. Your generous gift will be invested in a worthy cause  of forming the hearts and engaging the minds of the next generation of Pacelli Graduates. As we maintain our historic multi-building campus, increase enrollment, recruit and retain talented staff, and provide our students with high quality educational materials and experiences, we are ever mindful that it is all made possible through the goodness of God and through the generosity of our donors to keep making big things happen for us at school. Please consider joining us in our mission to #BeMore in Faith, Scholarship, and Service.
