A Message from Our Priest
Message from our Pastor Administrator:
Dear Parents & Friends of St. Mary Catholic School,
For over one hundred and thirty years, St. Mary Catholic School has provided Catholic education for generations of students. Our Parish community recognizes the parents and family as primary educators and joins with them in providing an excellent Catholic school to assist them in forming their children in an environment of living faith.
St. Mary Catholic School is committed to the development of the whole student. This means teaching them the truth of the faith and our belief in Christ Jesus. But this also means forming our young men and women and equipping them with the tools they need to be good Christians, good citizens of our country, and good young men and women prepared in all parts of their life.
This all happens at St. Mary’s through our classrooms, through the atmosphere that we have, in the community of faith, and even in the extracurricular activities that we engage in. We strive to honor the uniqueness of each student, to generate a healthy sense of competition, to create a spirit of cooperation, and to foster leadership and creativity and do this all in an authentically Catholic School.
To ensure that we can continue our work, our school engages in an ongoing process of evaluation, certification, and accreditation of both teachers and programs. This accountability guarantees the continuation of our tradition of high educational, moral and Catholic standards.
I encourage your continued support of St. Mary School for the generations to come. I
beg you to do your part in helping advance the educational mission of our parish and of the
entire Church: support St. Mary Catholic School.
May God bless our school, our principal, our teachers and staff, and our students.
Fr. Edward Maxfield Jr.
Rector, The Basilica of Saint Mary of the Assumption
