Highlights for the week of February 1-6

Dear St. Mary’s Families,

This week we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, a special time across CISVA schools to recognize the gift of Catholic education. Catholic schools are communities where faith, learning, and service come together, supporting the formation of the whole child—mind, heart, and spirit. We are grateful for our students, families, staff, parish, and the many ways we live out our faith each day at St. Mary’s.
