Dear Families: 

Sacramento’s family of Catholic high schools is thrilled to be back welcoming our entire community for the Holy Court Volleyball games on Saturday, August 26, 2023, at St. Francis Catholic High School. This annual event is a fine tradition of good-spirited rivalry and is a chance for us to showcase our athletic accomplishments and enormous school spirit and pride. Students who attended years of grammar school together have an opportunity to catch up and socialize, and this is an opportunity to promote Catholic education to the broader Sacramento community.

Donating a Vehicle is as Easy as Can Bee!

Donating your vehicle is as easy as can "bee"

It’s “as easy as can bee” to support St. Francis and our Troubies by donating a used car, truck, or boat you no longer need! Vehicle donations have the potential to bring hundreds and even thousands of dollars in support of our programs and services. Our vehicle donation program makes donating a vehicle easy, and provides free pick-up. All vehicle donations are tax deductible, and St. Francis will provide you with a receipt. We utilize the CARS Vehicle Donation Program, which is nationwide, so cars can be picked up anywhere.

Elias Mendoza

Dear St. Francis Parents,

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday and our Troubies are back on campus! We had a wonderful Back to School Rally this morning and the energy and enthusiasm of our students was palpable. 

I’ve been out in the drop-off/pick-up area over the past few days, and see that some of you are making great efforts to get your daughters to school on time, as well as picking them up before 4:30pm. Thank you for making that a priority and ensuring their safety at all times.
