On May 18, St. Gerard Majella School celebrated 60 years as a beacon of family- and Gospel-centered education, marking it as the last remaining Catholic school in Paterson, during a Mass with Bishop Emeritus Arthur J. Serratelli and concelebrating priests in the parish church.
The Cognia-accredited St. Gerard’s has a diverse and growing student population, ranging from pre-K4 to eighth grade. Opened on Oct. 3, 1965, the school has weathered many challenges to remain a pillar of Catholic education in the city. Filippini Sister Jo-Ann Pompa is St. Gerard’s current principal.
