-------National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. This year, Catholic Schools Week begins today, Sunday, January 29 through Saturday, February 4. The three-time Blue Ribbon awarded School of St. Mary’s will celebrate with Masses, open houses, and other activities for students, families, parishioners, and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our Church, our communities and our nation. The School is very grateful for the support of benefactors of our parish.
-------The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2023 is "Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” Under the direction of Mrs. Kathy Thompson, School Principal, her assistant Mrs. Sarah Rouse, and the hard-working faculty, the School of St. Mary is a community where faith, excellence, and service are shared and taught. For more information about the many activities and events of Catholic Schools Week, as well as information about registering children at the School of St. Mary for next year, you can reach out to Mandy Castle, Director of Admissions, at:
