Quality Preschool through 8th Grade Catholic Education

In 2012, St. Matthew’s joined with the parishes of Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. John Vianney, and St. Michael to create a new pre-K to 8th grade school. Community of Saints Regional School is located in West St. Paul on the former St. Michael Parish campus (see address below).

We serve families who live in:

  • West Side of Saint Paul
  • West St. Paul
  • South St. Paul
  • Mendota Heights
  • Cottage Grove
  • Inver Grove Heights

Our Diverse School Builds Future Leaders

COS has brought together the many traditions, values and cultures of the four parishes that are its sponsors. The result is a rich mix that truly reflects the diversity of the community ethnically and economically, as well as presenting different traditions within the Catholic faith. By engaging students in a multi-faceted and multi-cultural school environment, they learn to appreciate and value diversity and are better prepared to assume a leadership role in addressing the challenges of a diverse world community.

Reunion Sunday

Community of Saints has hosted Reunion Sundays in recognition of the school alums of our sponsoring parishes.

Annual Benefit

An annual Community of Saints benefit usually occurs in May in the St. Matthew Social Hall from 6-10pm. We would love for you to join us at this fun event! Watch for an announcement.

Taco Feed

Our 8th graders annually host a Taco Feed to raise money for their cultural experience field trip. The taco feed usually takes place on a Sunday in March from 2-7pm in the St. Matthew Social Hall. Keep your eyes open for the next Taco Feed!
