"Friends asked why we wouldn’t take advantage of the public schools. After all, we’re paying public school taxes and they are high-performing schools. We told them then, & we tell people now - we chose St. Mary’s because we believe in Catholic education... the values we teach at home & talk about at our kitchen table, are the same values being taught at school & church."
-Tim Marren, father of SMS student Emma & Lydia (Class of 2026)

This feast goes back to October 7, 1571. As the Christian fleet sailed into battle at Lepanto, Pope St. Pius V asked the faithful to pray the Rosary. When word of the victory came, he credited it to Our Lady's intercession and set aside this day in thanksgiving.
Families - a simple way to keep the feast with your kids: pray one decade together tonight. Before each Hail Mary, let a different child name someone they want to pray for.
