Parents are an integral part of the parish and school community and are encouraged to take part in the activities of the school.  Parents provide the leadership needed for special activities, fundraisers, socials and other community building events.  St. Mary's School has an active Parent Association which functions under the direction of the Parish Education Committee. From it's membership, the PEC appoints the Chairperson of the Parent Association. Meetings are held once a month (7 p.m. in the Staff room).
