Catholic Schools Week will be celebrated January 27th-February 2nd.  Mrs. Bradley is looking for students who would like to present at the Masses on January 26th and January 27th.  Please email  tammibradley@stmaryscatholic.org if your son or daughter is interested in representing St. Mary Catholic School with a small presentation. 

The schedule of CSW will be shared in next week’s Irish Update.

Mary Catholic Home and School organization is doing a fundraising project entitled “St. Mary’s Path of Faith.” The goal is to have the bricks become a permanent part of our Path of Faith.  The path is being created as a way of recognition of past, present and future St. Mary Catholic school attendees and families along with Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption parishioners.  This path will be located in the green space with the school parking lot, among the trees.  For every brick purchased a significant amount of the purchase price will help support St. Mary Catholic School.  Once completed we will be able to enjoy a wonderful display of our schools commitment to faith.  Brochures for the “Path of Faith” bricks are available in the school office and on our school website at stmarys.k12.oh.us   The bricks make great gifts for family and friends as a way to support St. Mary Catholic School and for others to enjoy for years to come.  Questions?  Please contact Sue Cisar at 740-373-1776

Volunteers are needed for recess!  Please email Mrs. Huck at amyhuck@stmaryscatholic.org if you are able to share an hour of your day with the students of St. Mary Catholic School.
