Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking the time to “sneak a peek” at our school through the window of our new website. Whether you are a brand new parent interested in our school for the first time, or a parishioner just checking us out, or a member of one of our currently enrolled families, we would like to simply say, “Welcome home to St. Mary’s!” and thank you for your interest and involvement in our school.

As you explore the pages of our ever-growing website we hope you will discover that the vision of joy shared by Fr. Ric, our pastor, and the mission statement developed by our teachers and parents, truly guides who we are … everyday in all we do.

Brought together by faith, St. Mary’s School is a Franciscan family

welcoming and inspiring all

to love, live, learn and serve as Christ taught us.

We focus on faith first and share our Christ-centered philosophy through our Catholic identity and traditions. Keeping true to our Franciscan heritage, we serve and work to build strong, positive and loving relationships among all members of our school family, our parish community and our world. With quality teaching for learning and effective research based instruction, we inspire educational success and pursue academic excellence for all our students and teachers.

The pages within our website present an exciting and accurate picture of our school. However, the real chemistry, personality and “magic of St. Mary’s” can only be experienced in person. Please come visit us! If you would like more information about our school, or would like to schedule a visit and a tour, please contact me through email using mark.csanda@stmarysschool.net or by calling our school office at 828-5954.

I look forward to meeting you and sincerely hope that you and your children can become a part of the St. Mary’s school family.

To love, live, learn and serve,

Mark A. Csanda
