St. Mary’s School News Our school has been blessed for the past four years to have a group of enlightened, intelligent and spirit-filled young people participate in leadership. Because they were the “pioneers” of our middle grades program, these students have been our leaders since they were in fifth grade. They have worked closely with their teachers and administration to help develop and form ideas which eventually became part of our program. We are very proud of all the gifts and talents they have generously shared with all of us. Their journey here at St. Mary’s is coming to its end and we will celebrate with a special Graduation Mass. The Graduation Mass is a time of celebrating, honoring and thanking God for the gifts of these young people to our school. The eighth grade class extends a personal invitation to every parishioner to attend their Graduation Mass. The Mass will take place on June 8 at 7:00 p.m. in the Church followed by a reception in the Gathering Space. Chris Meadows, Principal

Parents Our parish nursery is available during the 11 AM Mass for your children who are in kindergarten or younger.
