"It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving." - Mother Teresa
At St. Mary's, our commitment to preparing Christian leaders for our community through academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment is as strong as ever. Our communities can be transformed by the Catholic and moral values instilled at St. Mary's School. We know that not everyone can afford a Catholic education, but we believe every student should have the opportunity. As an alum, parent, grandparent, or even just someone who cares about Catholic education, you can make a difference!
What is Adopt-A-Student?
Our Adopt-A-Student Program is a tuition assistance program that makes a Catholic education possible for those parishioners who may not normally be able to afford one. Parishioner tuition for one year of school at St. Mary’s is $4,000. You can help with a one-time donation or with recurring monthly donations. Your gift will give these students a chance at greater success in life and no gift is too small.
