At Saint Mary School, we offer a challenging and enriching Catholic education to hundreds of students each year. For many of our families, a private education would not be possible because of financial hardships, but by the grace of God, these families are able to receive scholarships and assistance to make it possible to attend a Catholic school. We cannot do this without our annual fundraisers and generous gifts from benefactors like you!
