MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Welcome to the 2009-2010 academic year at St. Mary Catholic School where excellence in education combines with Christian values for the formation of the whole child of God. Students with varied skills and abilities are provided individualized academic support and all are taught with dignity and respect by a highly competent and caring staff. We offer an atmosphere that is filled with trust, charity, and joy.

St. Mary’s is a very special community in which teachers and administrators are united and work in harmony with parents, who we recognize as the primary educators. It is a partnership that is dedicated to the full realization of each child’s spiritual, academic, and life skills potential. At home and at school, together we endeavor to integrate God’s message into the children’s daily activities and encourage them to embrace the meaning of social concern and service to others.

If you are a member of the St. Mary school community we thank you for choosing our school and appreciate your continued participation and support. If you are in the process of evaluating schools and making a decision, we hope our website provides you with a great deal of helpful information. However, if you have any lingering questions about anything we may have missed, please call us at (708)442-5747 and it would be my pleasure to assist you or take you on a tour of the school. I am confident that the qualities you will see at St. Mary School will make a lasting impression on you.

Blessings to You and Your Family,

MR. V.
