With the start of School less than one month away, it's time to get those supplies ready to bring to class. On Saturday, August 14, all school-aged children are invited to bring their backpacks to Mass at 4:00 p.m. for a special blessing! After Mass, there will be ice cream and music for everyone, not just the kids! Bring your lawn chair, or blanket, kick back and stay for a while!

We invite you to join us for our annual event celebrating the arrival of Autumn. There are plenty of activities planned, something for the whole family. This year, AutumnFest fall on September 11th a day that changed the world. We invite you to join us as we remember those who lost their lives on that horrific day and honor our local heroes who keep us safe. For additional information, you can contact the St. Mary Parish Office at 618-532-6291

Attached you will find the opening guidelines for the Diocese of Belleville in regards to schools. Please read the letter and let me know if you have any questions. More details about plans will become available a little closer to school since this seems to be an every changing situation. Have a great night! Mrs. Pryor

You are invited to join Father Steve for the Summer Learning Series, “Exploring the Documents of Vatican II.” We will examine the four major documents and how they have impacted the Church. Each session will only touch on the highlights of the documents. A more detailed series will be offered later. No need to register but reading the documents before each session would be helpful. Sessions will be held in St. Mary School Cafeteria.
