Today was a beautiful day at St. Mary’s Crescent as we welcomed Bishop Mark to celebrate the Fr. Doyle Catholic Education Fund! ✝️💙

We are so grateful for the support of those who help make a Catholic education possible for our students. What a special reminder of the community, faith, and love that make St. Mary’s so special! 🙏📚✨

🤠✨ Dolly Day! ✨🤠

Today, September 25th, we celebrated Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” with a day full of sparkle, pink, and cowboy & cowgirl spirit! 💕👢🎶

And while we may have been working “9 to 5,” our real mission was something even more special—raising money for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, because every child deserves the magic of having a book to call their own! 📚❤️

As Dolly says, “Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen…” ☕️🎶—and from there, our day was filled with smiles, fun, and a whole lot of love for reading!

🇺🇸❤️ First Friday Mass & Student of the Month ❤️🇺🇸

Today, we celebrated our first Friday School Mass of the year in remembrance of September 11th and took a special moment to honor and pray for the brave men and women who serve our country and communities. 🇺🇸🙏

Our beautiful choir added so much to this meaningful celebration and truly helped make the Mass special. 🎶❤️

We also had the joy of celebrating our Student of the Month, Gabriella Fernet! 🌟 Gabriella joined our school community last year and has brought so much joy, kindness, and happiness to our halls. Her big smile brightens our days, and we are so lucky to have her as part of our St. Mary’s family!

Congratulations, Gabriella! We are so proud of you! 💕🌟
