We think you'd all agree that we already have enough snow...so how about some $$? The “Snow Me the Money” HSA Cash Raffle Final Drawing is THIS FRIDAY NIGHT!
With the recent weather we understand it may be difficult to get your tickets turned in, as parish and school offices are closed today and tomorrow. It seems we will get a break in the snow for Friday though, so please send students into school with any remaining tickets on Friday am, or drop yours off at the parish or school office Friday before 5pm! Tickets may also be dropped off with payment anytime (even if the campus is closed) to the secure, side-door mail slot at the parish office (on the side of the building near the chapel).
Just be sure to GET ALL TICKETS TURNED IN BEFORE THIS FRIDAY AT 5PM! Good luck everyone, stay safe and warm out there!


Due to continued inclement weather, St. Mary School Swormville will be closed again tomorrow, Thursday, January 18th. ❄️ Stay safe and stay warm! ❄️

“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
We remember and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today: https://cacatholic.org/issues/faith-in-the-public-square/dreams-lead-action-dr-martin-luther-king-jr/


At school Mass today, Fr. Tom spoke about how we are all special children of God, and because of that we are called to lead others to Him - just as the paralytic’s friends did in the Gospel, by bringing him to Jesus. It’s not always easy to do, but God is always there to help us.







Your $25 donation per ticket gives you:
• SIX OPPORTUNITIES TO WIN CASH prizes totaling $15,000!
• MORE CHANCES TO WIN — all tickets returned to the drum after each drawing!
Join the fun and support Catholic education. Send completed ticket stubs with payment, (cash or check payable to St. Mary’s) to the Parish Office, drop off at the School Office during school hours, or at the Parish Office side door mail slot anytime. Please return any unsold tickets. THANK YOU — GOD BLESS, & GOOD LUCK!
