Our Journey
A Church, School & Parish with Deep Historical Roots
St. Gall parish in Gage Park, Chicago, began in the 1840s with German farmers and became a standalone parish in 1899. Rapid growth in the 20th century led to the establishment of a school in 1910 and several relocations to accommodate its expanding congregation. The parish has embraced diversity over the years, notably introducing Spanish-language Masses in 1996, and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2000. Today, St. Gall remains a vibrant community hub, committed to serving the spiritual and educational needs of its parishioners.
Principal's Welcome
Welcome to St. Gall School!
Founded in 1910, St. Gall School‘s purpose was to empower the youth of Chicago’s southwest side to be academically, emotionally, and spiritually prepared for the challenges of high school and life.
Over 100 years later, we carry on that tradition. Our mission is to prepare students to be compassionate models of Christ as we nurture the whole child, foster the leader in each of them, and empower every student to achieve their full potential. We work hard to create an environment that creates a spirit of trust, understanding, and cooperation between school and home in order for the children to be educated in a harmonious environment. Working as a team, our faculty, staff, and students strive to live by our root beliefs: We are a family; We are made in the image and likeness of God; Challenges are opportunities; Everyone can be successful; Joy and learning coexist.
Over the past 9 years, I have fallen in love with this school and community. I feel so blessed to be able to help lead this school into the future, building on our goal to see all of our students succeed in life, with our mission and values always guiding us.
Please contact us today at 773-737-3454 for a personal tour of our school. We know you'll agree that St. Gall School is the perfect fit for your child!
Blessings and All Good Things,
Ms. Laurie Giannoni, Principal
