Father Tom stopped by Mrs. Bishop's 4th grade religion class today to answer questions about the priesthood, and himself! We love getting to know our priests better! Did you know Father Tom's favorite hymn is "O God Beyond All Praising"? ❤️ #prayforpriests #SMStheplacetoBEE
Our virtue for January is diligence. Diligence is the effort to do one’s part, while keeping faith and reliance in God, despite the complexities of life. Diligence is almost the same as hard work, constancy or staying the course. #MondayMotivation #Diligence #CharacterEd

We think you'd all agree that we already have enough snow...so how about some $$? The “Snow Me the Money” HSA Cash Raffle Final Drawing is THIS FRIDAY NIGHT!
With the recent weather we understand it may be difficult to get your tickets turned in, as parish and school offices are closed today and tomorrow. It seems we will get a break in the snow for Friday though, so please send students into school with any remaining tickets on Friday am, or drop yours off at the parish or school office Friday before 5pm! Tickets may also be dropped off with payment anytime (even if the campus is closed) to the secure, side-door mail slot at the parish office (on the side of the building near the chapel).
Just be sure to GET ALL TICKETS TURNED IN BEFORE THIS FRIDAY AT 5PM! Good luck everyone, stay safe and warm out there!
Due to continued inclement weather, St. Mary School Swormville will be closed again tomorrow, Thursday, January 18th. ❄️ Stay safe and stay warm! ❄️
A message from our HSA: Due to the forecast this week as well as other factors, HSA Casino Night has been cancelled. If you have already purchased tickets, you will receive an email this week with details about how you will be refunded. However, the "Snow Me the Money" HSA Cash Raffle Final Drawing will still occur Friday in the St. Mary School Gym at 8:30 pm and will be broadcast LIVE via Facebook! Be sure to get your tickets in to the school or parish office before Friday!
