APRIL29,2023
We are pleased to be the Signature Sponsor for Paul VI's 2023 Black & Gold Gala and are blessed to celebrate 40 wonderful years of PVI with the community.
Two of our sons, Dan '98 and Kevin '01, greatly benefited from the education and spiritual growth they gained at PVI. We commend the administrators, teachers, staff, and other caring persons who have donated their time, services, and resources to provide the highest level of Catholic education and character development to the students at St. Paul VI Catholic High School.
Congratulations, Mrs. Swenson, faculty, staff, and parents!
Cheers to 40 more!
Tom and Nancy Woodley
The Archbishop of Vancouver wrote, "A bright future is on the horizon for schools that dare to be authentically Catholic." Clearly, St. Paul VI Catholic High School has a treasured past, a vibrant present, and a very bright future indeed. Thanks to the dedication of countless volunteers, staff, and faculty, there are countless opportunities for our community to share our Catholic faith and mission to grow in grace and wisdom. This evening is one of those.
Thank you all for joining us to celebrate our annual Black & Gold Gala. You will be dazzled by our dancers, musicians, and members of our It's Academic team. As you enjoy the many gifts of our PVI students, you will undoubtedly see their dedication and commitment to our school community and be inspired by their extraordinary Godgiven talents. Our newest initiative, Positively PVI, is the result of student feedback and our desire to continually grow as a studentcentered, engaging, and joyful community. Tonight's Raise the Paddle supports these programs and efforts, and, in the end, our students.
Wishing you a magical night filled with laughter, good food and fun, and opportunities to prayerfully support our students, faculty, and staff. Thank you for your continued prayers and dedication to our mission to serve as a proudly and authentically Catholic community.
Peace and blessings,

Purchase your commemorative whiskey glasses and insulated wine tumblers!
A special welcome to Laura Swenson with prayers and wishes for a bright future for the Paul VI community.
Go Panthers Baseball!
Wishing you a successful season.
Purchase as many $10 beads as you wish.
Stand by your seat wearing all your beads. As Coach G tosses a coin, place your hands on your head or on your "tail" - one place only, please!
If the coin falls accordingly, you remain standing. If not, remove one strand of beads. The game continues until only one person remains standing. The more beads you purchase, the better your chances of winning the $500 cash prize.
