"Advent is a time to welcome the Lord who comes to meet us, the time to look ahead, and to prepare ourselves for Christ's return." (Dec 2) "Advent is a time for renewing the faith, for purifying it, so that it can be more authentic." (Dec 3) "This Advent, make yourself small, make yourself humble, make yourself a servant of others, and the Lord will give you the ability to understand how to make peace." (Dec 4) "The beginning of faith is feeling the need for salvation: this is the way that prepares us to meet Jesus." (Dec 5) To view more quotes, click the title.

On Monday, October 1st, the U.S. Department of Education designated Saint Mary’s School as a Blue Ribbon School. We are proud of the accomplishments of the St. Mary’s School faculty and staff, and especially of its beloved principal, Mrs. Margaret Williamson, who has brought our school to a new level of excellence. St. Mary’s School is one of just five schools in Connecticut -- and the ONLY non-public school in New England! -- to be named a Blue Ribbon School this year. Well Done!
