THANKS FOR A GREAT EVENT!
On Thursday March 6, we celebrated another successful year of dual-language Catholic education in the heart of Hispanic Chicago!
We are grateful for the more than 150 friends of St. Procopius who every year help us raise funds and spirits for the 200 inner-city students who attend our Pre-K through eighth grade school! Your support helps us raise over $40,000 for the Family Scholarship Fund, which provides financial aid to over 95% of our families! These financial aid packages allow families to give their children a better education at a reasonable price and prepares them to succeed in high school and beyond.
With delicious Mexican food, an open bar, musical entertainment, over 75 auction items to bid on, and student presentations, this was a night to celebrate and enjoy!
This year we had a great number of people help make this event successful.

OUR SCHOOL'S HISTORY AND MISSION
St. Procopius School is dual-language Catholic elementary school (PK-8) located in Pilsen on Chicago's lower west side. In the Jesuit tradition of education, St. Procopius offers a quality Catholic education that is unique among urban schools. As the first dual language elementary school in the Archdiocese of Chicago, the students are expected to perform at or above grade-level in both Spanish and English. All of our graduates are completely bilingual which increases their professional marketability while preserving their rich cultural heritage. Most students participate in the After-School program in one of the many activities such as tutoring, art, music, and dance clubs, sports, and cultural programs. We are proud to say that most of our graduates are accepted to competitive secondary schools such as St. Ignatius College Prep, Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, or De La Salle Institute.
