What a wonderful start to the 2026–2027 school year! It has been such a joy to welcome our students back into the halls and classrooms of St. Mary.
We were especially blessed to begin our first day together with the Holy Mass. Not every Catholic school has the gift of gathering around the altar as a school community, and it was a beautiful reminder of who we are and what is at the center of all we do.
As we begin a new year, we turn to our theme from Philippians 4:8: “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious…think about these things.”
May this year be one in which we continually seek truth, choose goodness, and reflect beauty—in our classrooms, our friendships, our work, and our life together as a Catholic school community.
