St. Gregory is a vibrant and engaging parish with Masses in English and Spanish as well as over 50 ministries for all age groups.

1959

Established in 1959 under the leadership of Father Michael Keller, St. Gregory the Great Parish celebrated its first Mass on August 15th in Peters Elementary School. A year later, three Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth opened a parish school with 143 students and three portable classrooms, donated by Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Parish. The parish dedicated a church in 1961 and later constructed a convent.

1979

Although fire partially destroyed the church in 1979, parishioners rallied to build a new church, completed in 1982, and restore the fire damaged structure, converting it into the Parish Center.

1988

In 1988, the United States Department of Education recognized St. Gregory’s “Exemplary School.” The present state-of-the-art building opened for pre-kindergarten through eighth grade students in 1995, was expanded in 2000, and continues to be enhanced with technology and facilities. St. Gregory School is open to PK3-8th grade students and maintains accreditation with the Florida Catholic Conference.

1992

In 1992, Msgr. Noel Fogarty launched a series of campaigns that were completed to improve facilities such as: School/Facilities expansion (1995), Prayer Garden (2004) and Church Renovation (2010).

1996

In 1996, an Endowment Fund was established to ensure the fundamental sustainability of St. Gregory School.

2022 - Present

A new administrative model for the office of Development has been implemented with the creation of a Development Team to take the three traditional fund raisers and to work on the implementation of a new capital campaign with the goal of several facilities’ enhancements and renovations that will take St. Gregory school and parish to new levels in order to properly serve our growing diverse population.
