ASH WEDNESDAY - National Holiday in Jamaica

Let us turn away from sin and

believe in the Good News!

"Today, God brings us to the beginning of Lent.
We pray that in this time of salvation
God will fill us with the Holy Spirit,
purify our hearts,
and strengthen us in love."
-from the Intercessions of Lauds of Ash Wednesday

From the Friars and Sister a Blessed Ash Wednesday and Lent to you all!

Notre Dame HS - Fairfield, CT

February 15th through 20th brought Fr Cipriani and his crew to St Mary's for a service week. Fr Cipriani met the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist while he was studying in Rome, now Campus Minister at Notre Dame, he organized a group of six for the week. In addition, Father's brother John and Family joined the crew for the week. Once again we ran a Brain Camp for our 9th Graders who need some extra attention. Thanks to Fr Cipriani and The Crew!

SMC & UK

Recently Father Michael met with Mr. Basil Hylton, a past student of Saint Mary's College and other past students to discuss the possibility of twinning with Saint Marys College in England. Mr Hylton has called the UK his home for many years and is interested in setting up this partnership. If this program comes to fruition it will help our Jamaican students connect with others across the pond.
