St. Mel Catholic Parish
The St. Mel Catholic Church community led by our pastor, Fr. Desmond O’Reilly, and assisted by St. Mel clergy, parish staff and parishioners, support the school through church funding, donations and participation at school fundraisers. The connection between the school and parish is strong, with the students actively participating in special weekend Masses, altar serving, choir and community service.
Parent Community
Working Together For Our Children
It takes a village to raise a child, and the St. Mel School community is a close-knit group of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, parishioners, and the greater Fair Oaks-area business community who work together to make Catholic education affordable and possible.
Catholic School Advisory Commission
The St. Mel School Advisory Commission (CSAC) plays a vital role in advising the principal and fostering the school community and culture. Members of the CSAC include the Pastor, Principal, and other parents as appointed by the Principal. The CSAC meets each month to discuss development, facilities, Catholic identity, community relations, and parent engagement.
Parent Engagement
The St. Mel Parent Engagement Committee, under the direction of our Advancement Team, provides financial assistance, directs school programs, and organizes and moderates most of the school’s volunteer services. All parents or guardians of students in St. Mel School are members of the St. Mel Committee.
The dates of the monthly meetings can be found on the families FACTS Portal.
