🌿 Remember. Honor. Celebrate. 🌿

The St. Mary’s Rosary Garden is a special place on our campus for prayer, reflection, and connection—a lasting reminder of the many individuals and families who are part of the St. Mary’s story.

Personalized granite pavers are available for purchase and can be dedicated in memory of a loved one, in honor of someone special, to recognize a family or alumnus, or to commemorate a meaningful milestone.

Whether remembering the past or celebrating the present, each paver becomes a lasting part of St. Mary’s for generations to come.

🙏 Honoring Our Past, With Faith in Our Future
See the attached flyer for paver options and ordering information.

Introducing the St. Mary’s Rosary Circle ✨

Beginning in September, we invite our extended St. Mary’s community to join us each Tuesday as we gather in the school chapel to pray the Rosary for our students, faculty, families and school community.

The St. Mary’s Rosary Circle is a simple, community-led opportunity for parents, grandparents, alumni, parishioners and friends of St. Mary’s to come together in prayer. There are no meetings, no preparation and no commitment required—just come when you can and pray with us.

To make it easier for members of our community to participate, we will alternate between 7:00 AM and 2:15 PM on Tuesdays. Whether you are able to come every week, once a month or simply when your schedule allows, you are welcome.

Please see the flyer for our September schedule. We will begin Tuesday, September 1 at 7:00 AM in the St. Mary’s School Chapel.

💙 St. Mary’s Rosary Circle�Come when you can. Pray with us.

🍨 Faith, Fellowship & Service with Catholic Daughters

Our Catholic Daughters enjoyed a wonderful evening of faith and fellowship at our August meeting and Ice Cream Social!

Interested in learning more about Catholic Daughters? We would love to welcome you! Join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, September 15 at 6:00 PM, with the Rosary at 5:30 PM. Come meet us, learn more about Catholic Daughters, and see how you can be part of our sisterhood of faith, fellowship, and service.

All Catholic women interested in learning more are welcome!

Wisdom for the Week ✨

Sometimes the way we see ourselves is shaped by our mistakes, our worries, or the expectations of others. But God sees us with perfect love—as His beloved children, created with purpose and dignity.

This week, carry this simple prayer with you:

🙏 “Lord, help me see myself the way You see me.”

May it be a reminder to look at ourselves—and one another—through the eyes of Christ. 💙

🌿 Wisdom for the Week

Our days can quickly become filled with noise, activity, and distractions. This week, consider what you might set aside to create a little more room for prayer, rest, and time with God.

Jesus Himself reminds us:

“Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” — Mark 6:31

Sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need to hear Him more clearly. 🙏

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, our Lord and God: having completed the course of her earthly life, she was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory. This faith, received from the tradition of the Church, was solemnly defined by Pope Pius XII.

Let us pray with fervor, through the intercession of Saint Michael, for Christ’s help as we battle the forces of darkness!
