Offering a helping hand at St. Mary Catholic School is not just partnering in the mission of the school, it is showing up to create the school you want your student to attend, creating the community you want to be a part of, and being present for your student when they are here with us.
There is no shortage of ways you can help here at the school, in our parish, at events, and in the classroom. We have ample opportunities to volunteer outside of school hours on your time as well.
If you have an idea that isn't listed in our Volunteer Opportunties list or on our Sign up links, please let us know how we can help you help us!
