Mission: Saint Vincent de Paul Parish School is a Christ-centered community where each person is a valued child of God. We are dedicated to cultivating the mind and the heart.

St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School is operated by St. Vincent de Paul Parish within the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City. St. Vincent’s is a co-educational infant – 8th grade Catholic school, opened to all faiths, and committed to helping each child realize their full potential. St. Vincent school has had an outstanding record of student achievement and success for over 50 years. The staff and administration work diligently to maintain high academic and moral standards at the school.

General Facts

Property

Located on 22 acres of land, the property includes a church and school community campus. The Holy Family Hall-serves hot lunch, has a band room and is used for general purposes related to school functions. The Benvegnu Center is also available for school-related activities. The outdoor pavilion is used for lunch during good weather and for arts and craft projects. The Mother Theresa’s Extended Daycare Center offers our parents a safe place to bring their children before and after school. The Nano Nagle Childcare Center (for infants through 3 year olds) opened in 2009. In addition, Saint Vincent school has a gymnasium, playground, prayer garden, stations of the cross path and athletic fields all located on the Saint Vincent’s property.

St. Vincent de Paul Parish and School use pond water on the lawns and other vegetation. Water from Big Cottonwood Creek travels through our property and collects in a pond at the southeast corner of the playing fields. From there, the water is pumped to the sprinklers around the property. We are proud to conserve resources by using our pond water!
