St. Mary's Catholic School

St. Mary’s Education Society will be hosting their annual Ham Bingo on Friday, March 17, 2023.

Along with the Bingo we will also be having a silent auction, door prizes, and a concession. We

invite you to attend this fun family event.

In the past the proceeds of the Bingo have gone towards purchasing items and services to help enhance the learning experiences of the students of St. Mary’s. The proceeds from the silent auction items go directly to the Student Council to use in ways they feel will benefit the

students. These opportunities would not be possible without the generosity of our local

community.

It is our hope that you would consider donating to our event. We are currently looking for any

items you can donate to the silent auction and cash donations for ham purchases. Please note, the average cost of a ham is approximately $40.00. If you would like to donate to our event please contact Carmen Heisler at 780-603-0911 or 780-632-3673 to arrange pick up.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

St. Mary’s Education Society

The Saints were sent off to Zones with a school-wide pep rally that included shooting competitions and kings court games that included the staff. The energy was fantastic as we celebrated all of the hard work and dedication that our basketball teams have put into their seasons. GO SAINTS GO!

This past Christmas we sold over $5000 worth of chocolate which raised $1600 profit for the Athletics Club!

All profits will go directly to the STMY Athletics Club that supports ALL athetes at St. Mary's. So satisfy those cravings, get all your Easter gift-shopping done while supporting a great cause.

The deadline to order is March 21st, and pick up at the school will be April 5th. Simply click on the link, enter an email address to sign up for our campaign, and get out that credit card to order away. Please be advised that only orders paid through the Purdy's site will be available... any unpaid orders will not be processed.

Once orders close, we’ll notify everyone when and where you can collect your treats.

Please share with anyone you know who might be interested. It would help us so much.

Thank you!

Every 2 years EICS has been sending students from each of their high schools to the NCYC event held in Indianapolis, Indiana. NCYC (National Catholic Youth Conference) is a powerfully unique three-day experience of prayer, community, evangelization, catechesis, service, and empowerment for Catholic teenagers (of high school age) and their adult chaperones.

NCYC is the premiere Catholic youth event on a national scale that gathers people from all across America for a life-changing encounter with Christ. Please speak to Miss. Y or Mr. Murphy if this interests you. It is AMAZING and we hope to send a small group and start planning asap.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT NCYC:

INSPIRING SPEAKERS

Some of the best speakers in the Catholic space.

MASS & ADORATION

Celebrate liturgy and the Eucharist with tens of thousands, led by our American bishops.

MUSIC & WORSHIP

Praise and entertainment led by award-winning artists.

INTERACTIVE EXHIBITS

Countless games, crafts, obstacle courses, meetups, live radio shows, challenges, and so much more.
