⚽️ Coach Rivera's JV co-ed soccer team opened their season on Mother’s Day with a 10-3 victory over St. Amelia’s. Despite extremely muddy field conditions, SMS played hard from start to finish! Every player contributed to the team win, leading the offense were Luca P. & Dawitt T. with 3 goals each, while Nico C. & Caleb G. each added 2 goals.

Defensively, SMS was anchored by Elise M., Ben W., Elliott T., & Cora H., helping hold St. Amelia’s scoreless in the first half. The midfield also played a major role, led by Elyse R., Ronald H., and Caleb G. Nico C. & Elliott T. were stellar on goal.

Overall, it was an outstanding team effort, with SMS displaying tremendous teamwork, determination, & sportsmanship throughout the match. Go Bees!

💐 Happy Mother's Day from St. Mary School! Today we pray for all mothers: those who are expecting, grieving, longing, the young moms, grandmothers, godmothers & step-mothers. May we look to our Blessed Mother, Mary for guidance as we pray...

Mary, full of grace, we ask for your intercession today for all mothers. We pray for them, and pray that Your example of love draws them closer to Your son, not only on Mother’s Day but on all days. Amen.

Many of our SMS 3rd graders celebrated their 1st Holy Communion this year in April & May! We celebrated this achievement with a special school Mass today in their honor. The third graders wore their First Communion finery to lead us in the liturgy, & looked wonderful in their suits, dresses & veils.

At the end of Mass, our 3rd grade class extended their hands in blessing over our 8th grade class. They acknowledged the Class of 2026 for their leadership & asked for blessings upon them as they continue their faith journeys in high school & beyond.
