Alumni Favorite Scripture Passage

Luke: 1:45

Blessed are you who believed

what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.

This quote was selected by Mrs. Brenda Hoffmaster who attended St. Mary's School 1st through 4th grade in the 1960's and is currently administrative assistant at St. Mary's School. This quote is featured in one of the stained glass windows of St. Mary's Church and is often Mrs. Hoffmaster's meditation after Holy Communion.

70 Years of St. Mary's School

Newspaper Clipping from 1951

The building site for St. Mary's Catholic Church convent and parochial school in Rockville was staked out Tuesday and, according to Rev. Gilbert Hann, the school may be completed by next September.

A two-story structure of cinder block, the attractive building will be located on the church grounds.

The first floor will be used for classrooms and will hold a maximum capacity of 400 students; the second floor will accommodate ten Sisters, although the school will open with four.

All eight grades of grammar school will be taught.

The building was designed so that additional wings can be added as demand requires and someday Father Hann hopes to construct the five-hundred seating capacity auditorium that will be connected to the school as shown in the picture.

The construction contract was awarded to Victor I. Beauchamp of Rockville, the lowest bidder. The architect was Maurice S. May.
