Catholic Schools Week is a special time to celebrate the gift of Catholic education, and it’s an opportunity for all of us—whether you have children, grandchildren, or no school-age children at all—to see the vital role our parish school plays in forming young hearts and minds. Sunday, Jan. 25,  St. Mary Parish School is kicking off Catholic Schools Week with an Open House from 11 am-1 pm and everyone in our parish community is invited.

St. Mary’s is a place where students grow academically, spiritually, and socially. From our youngest K3 learners to our 8th graders, children are encouraged to love learning, develop strong values, and deepen their faith. Every lesson, activity, and interaction is rooted in our Catholic identity, giving students a foundation that lasts far beyond the classroom.

But you don’t need to have a child in school to be part of this mission. Parishioners of every age and stage play a crucial role in supporting our school. Your prayers, encouragement, time, and generosity help make Catholic education possible, ensuring that the faith we cherish is passed on to the next generation. Whether you’re single, retired, or simply feel called to be part of something bigger, your presence matters.

During Catholic Schools Week, we are reminded that faith education is a shared responsibility—a partnership between families, teachers, and the wider parish community. By visiting the Open House, you can see firsthand how your support, in every form, helps our students grow in knowledge, faith, and love of God.
