Thank you to all the wonderful grandparents who attended our Grandparent's Day Mass and Reception on September 8, 2023. It was so wonderful seeing and celebrating so many of our student's grandparents. This was truly a special event for our students and our school community. May God continue to bless the special bond grandparents have with our students. We pray for each of our grandparents; may God give you continued health, peace, and happiness so you can continue to help our students walk in their path with faith, love, and kindness. Thank you for supporting our school and families.

Today, June 9, 2023, our 8th graders celebrated their 8th Grade Graduation Mass. This is the first in a series of activities that will be held to celebrate our graduates. This special Mass helps students reflect on their many blessings - one of them being the gift of a Catholic education. This is the last school Mass our 8th graders will participate in; truly a bittersweet moment.
Join us tomorrow, Saturday, June 10th, for our PTO Saint Mary Family Olympics Day! The event will start at 4 pm on the blacktop. We will have exercises, games, raffles, and our Snack Shack will be open for business. We hope to see you there!

It's wonderful to watch our students grow in their faith and be part of our Catholic traditions. Today students participated in an Ash Wednesday Mass and received ashes which symbolize the dust from which God made us and mark the beginning of Lent. "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
