Everyone came together as one community to make the Parish festival a success. Festival3 The Boy Scouts set up and took down, confirmation students from RE and St. Mary's School helped with the children's games and wherever else needed. The Knight's of Columbus barbecued, MOMS rocked with desserts, and parishioners provided a wonderful array of side dishes and fruits. Father Denny blessed the "Our Lady of Sorrows Garden" and then it was fun for everyone, great music and a chance to chat with friends. School Development set up a table with Alumni stories and handed out prayer cards for peace, the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, that the children pray every day, with art from an alumnae. Lynn Trimpey won the t-shirt raffle for a St. Mary's Spirit wear t-shirt. For more photos click here.

Our philosophy of education is to offer a five-day program to assist families in teaching those truths, skills, and ideals, which are necessary for Christian living.
