Monsignor Forget established the foundations of Catholic education at St. Patrick’s Parish. With his dedication and service funds were raised and the school was built. St. Patrick’s Elementary School was opened in 1922. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto under Sr. Alberta Martin the Superior, were the first to begin teaching in the newly built St. Patrick’s Elementary School.
Today, St. Patrick’s Elementary School is part of the Catholic Independent Schools Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA) and is the immediate responsibility of St. Patrick’s Parish, under the auspices of the pastor who is immediately responsible to the Archbishop.
