I look at St. Mary's as being the total package. You have the parish along with the school, both of which are supportive of families and Catholic teaching. The parish and school have been our support group. I know that no matter how tough life can get, there will always be a friend in faith to help. This setup bolsters a child's faith, confidence and care for his fellow man that provides a richness to life that you can't get in public school. There's a solid purpose and direction with Catholic education. We have a mission statement and we live our mission statement. Mission Statement: "To provide a Catholic education that nurtures students' hearts and minds to become servant leaders in an ever-changing world."
