St. Mary Catholic School

Our basilcia is blessed with amazing stained glass windows that our community gets to see every day. These windows are powerful representations of important moments from Church history.

Here, Pope St. Gregory the Great blesses St. Augustine of Canterbury as he prepairs to leave for England to bring the Anglo-Saxons to Christ.

Fun fact: The monks in this window have the "Roman tonsure" haircut, a shaving of the crown of the head as a sign of humility, and which resulted in the remaining hair taking the form of a crown.

Dear Falcon Alumni,

Being part of St. Mary Catholic School doesn't end when you graduate. The friendships, memories, and pride that come from being a Falcon stay with you long after your time on campus.

I'm still in touch with some of my classmates and am thankful for those friendships, but I'd also love the chance to reconnect with more Falcon alumni—and I know many of you feel the same way.

That's why we're creating the St. Mary Alumni Club, a way for alumni to stay connected, reconnect with former classmates and teammates, and hear about what's happening at St. Mary.

By joining our mailing list, you'll receive:

• Alumni news and updates

• Information about school and athletic events

• Invitations to alumni gatherings and special celebrations

• Opportunities to reconnect with fellow Falcons

• Ways to get involved and support the St. Mary community

We also have lots of ideas for future alumni activities, including pick-up basketball nights, alumni volleyball tournaments, Falcon running clubs, golf outings, class competitions, and social events. We'd love your ideas and involvement as we grow this community.

Whether you're interested in attending events, reconnecting with old friends, supporting St. Mary athletics, or simply staying informed, we'd love to have you as part of the St. Mary Alumni Group.

Once a Falcon. Forever a Falcon.

Our doors are open! 🎉

Today we joyfully welcome the students, teachers, and staff of the inaugural class of Fr. Thomas F. Price Catholic High School!

And what a beautiful “God wink” that our very first day falls on the birthday of our namesake, Fr. Thomas F. Price, born on this day in 1860.

We pray that our students are enriched in mind, body, and spirit as they pioneer something truly special—building the traditions, community, and legacy that will shape Fr. Thomas F. Price Catholic High School for generations to come.

Here’s to Year One and the beginning of an incredible story! 🙏

🇺🇸 **Happy Independence Day!** 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the freedoms we cherish as Americans — and give thanks for the many blessings God has bestowed upon our nation. As Catholic educators, we are grateful for the liberty to teach, form, and grow young hearts and minds in faith and truth.

May God continue to bless the United States of America, and may we always use our freedom in service of truth, goodness, and love of neighbor.

*"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." — 2 Corinthians 3:17*

Wishing you and your family a safe and joyful Fourth of July from the Diocese of Raleigh Office of Education! 🎆✝️
