27th Annual St. Mary Raffle Dinner & Auction
St. Mary School is excited to announce our 27th Annual Raffle Dinner & Auction, taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026. This cherished event is our school’s most important fundraiser and a meaningful way for our parish and community to support Catholic education. Through your prayers, encouragement, and generosity, St. Mary School continues to form students in the Catholic faith, nurture strong academic minds, and guide hearts toward Christ.
Support from this event helps provide a strong academic foundation rooted in Catholic teaching, a safe and loving Christ-centered environment, enriched programs and resources, and continued efforts to keep tuition affordable for families. By participating, you are making a lasting investment in the formation of our students and the future of our school.
As we begin this year’s fundraiser, we ask for your prayers—for our students, our teachers and staff, and for the success of this event, so that St. Mary School may continue its mission with strength and stability. We entrust our school community to the loving care of St. Mary, the Immaculate Conception, and thank you for your continued support and prayers.
