...Proudly do we hail thee...


This past week Father Michael Martin OFM Conv, Mr. John Kogler, Mr. Marty McGinty and 7 Curley Men offered service to the people of Saint Mary's. As part of their senior service project the students raised money to travel to this Caribbean Nation to live among the people of Above Rocks. The arrived bringing soccer balls, t-shirts and toys to distribute to the children.




The mornings saw the 7 seniors tutoring children from the All-Age School and in the afternoon they grabbed pain brushes as they painted the Clinic. Curley can be proud of these young men who discovered that it is in giving that they receive!
