St. Mary's Strategic Plan

The current St. Mary's Strategic five year strategic plan was created in the 2017-2018 school year.  It is the result of feedback, research and hard work of school administration, parents, staff, students and parishioners.  This is a living plan that will be updated as goals are accomplished and new goals added.  The plan aligns with the Archdiocese of Washington Plan.

Our Mission Statement

The mission of Saint Mary’s School is first and foremost to communicate Christ to the students and families whom it serves. Our school seeks to impart a hopeful vision of the future in which students may begin to glimpse the Kingdom of God and to imagine the ways in which their own gifts may be developed and used in the service of Christ. We seek to be a community of prayerful love, free from fear, in which students are unafraid to take risks, to explore, to grow, and to learn. Here they will be encouraged to ask the ultimate questions, not only "How well did I do?" but more importantly, "How shall I live?". We are a learning community in which students embrace their gifts and talents. We seek to bring students to a truly incarnational understanding of Christ in me as well as a school community that works ceaselessly to live in justice, peace, kindness, and understanding.

A Note From Our Pastor

Dear Parishioners,

A great part of the mission of Saint Mary’s Parish has been to provide families with the advantage of a Catholic education for the formation of the whole person. For many years our parochial school has given our young boys and girls the experience of authentic witness to the Gospel message and values of Christianity. The presentation of the Catholic Faith within the context of academic excellence is a magnificent opportunity for every child to gain a wonderful knowledge and appreciation of our Loving God and His providential care of each and everyone of us.

We are very blessed with a truly devoted faculty and staff here at Saint Mary’s School, under the outstanding leadership of a most dedicated principal. Hopefully we will always have the resources to maintain the quality and exceptional results of our school through the continued support of our Faith Community. Today, we are challenged with the ever-rising cost of Catholic Education which, unfortunately, has become over and beyond the means of some of our families.

To ensure the future of our parochial school and accessibility for all students desiring a Catholic Education, Saint Mary’s Parish and School offers opportunities that welcome your generous support. In this website you should find these ongoing opportunities throughout the year.

The generosity and commitment of countless parishioners and friends have made it possible for Saint Mary’s Parochial School to graduate spiritually and academically exceptional students for many years. We have every reason to continue celebrating such a record of success. May we turn to you and ask you to open your heart to considering an appropriate level of support to this vital mission of Saint Mary’s Parish. May God bless you for all your caring service.

Sincerely Yours In Christ,

Reverend Monsignor Robert G. Amey
Pastor
