St. Mary’s is about family in Jesus Christ, the Family of Saints and a spirit that will capture your heart. This spirit dwells deep seeded, first born over 150 years ago with the Redemptorists and the School Sisters of Notre Dame, men and women of God on fire with the Church’s mission of evangelization.
"Coming to St. Mary's has been my best decision so far: mentally, emotionally, spiritually and academically."
