FALCON’S CORNER

As our school year has moved to the end of

our first semester, we are blessed to be

thriving with an amazing faculty, staff and

student population, including 34 new students, who love

coming to school everyday. We are indeed a

prosperous school and you play a vital role in St. Mary’s

Catholic School’s success.

As we prepare for our 2018-2019 Annual Appeal, we

are mindful of the financial sacrifices made by you. Your

generosity has directly impacted our rich academic and

extra-curricular programs that our school offers. Without

your gifts to our Annual Appeal, we would not be able to

achieve the excellence in faith-based education for

which St. Mary’s Catholic School is known, fulfilling the

mission of our commitment to academic excellence and

the spiritual development our students toward a life of

prayer, service and love.

Please join us in reaching this year’s goal of $25,000 by

making a donation to the 2018-2019 Annual Appeal.

Note that you can use installments to help you reach

your desired gift amount. And, of course, donations to

St. Mary’s Catholic School are tax deductible.

To donate, please contact the school at (254) 778-8141.

Thank you for helping us to continue our mission.
