Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School Marathon

It's time for our annual Marathon for Nonpublic Education! This beloved tradition, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus since 1974, is so much more than a fundraiser—it's a day for our school community to come together at Roseville's Central Park. While we don't expect anyone to log 26.2 miles, students participate in the Marathon by soliciting cash pledges for walking, running, or biking laps around the park according to their age and ability, all to raise funds that directly support our school. Every dollar you contribute helps us keep tuition affordable and provides our students with the best possible education. Let's make this year's marathon a huge success and work together to reach our goal of $55,000!

Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School is celebrating its 85th year of nurturing young minds and hearts. Each year we witness countless success stories, as our students thrive in their faith, education, and sense of belonging through community, and we hear from parents who appreciate our school's impact on their family.

"One of the reasons we transitioned our family to Saint Rose from our local public school is because we knew our child would need the support of a small, caring community that could give individual attention to his unique needs. We found what we were looking for at Saint Rose. Not only did our child's homeroom teacher know how to navigate his diagnosis in the classroom, every school staff member knew how to interact with him in ways that would help him feel included and safe. I know that it would have been difficult for him to make such progress in a school that was less invested in his well-being as a whole child, not just as a student."

Stories like this are a testament to the positive impact of our school’s culture and commitment to supporting each student’s unique needs. We are proud to create an environment where every child feels valued and accepted for who they are. Simply put, at Saint Rose students thrive. They develop confidence, leadership skills, and a deep-rooted sense of responsibility. Our school offers a nurturing environment where every child is seen, known, and loved. When you give to Saint Rose, you empower us to continue this vital work.
