St. Mary Catholic School is an institution in Hagerstown and Washington Country, Maryland. It has formed thousands of local citizens for 150 years. Our generation has benefitted from those who went before us who sacrificed to raise the funds needed to build this amazing school. But it is up to our generation to make sure St. Mary’s thrives for the next 150 years. We need community support to continue.

 

The tuition we can reasonably charge does not cover the actual cost to educate a student. There is about a $2,000 gap between the two. As pastor, I am asking our people to “bridge the gap” so we can continue Catholic education in Hagerstown and in Washington County. The thought of not having any Catholic education is not a thought I can fathom. We need virtue. We need faith. We need academic excellence. We need St. Mary Catholic School.

 

Thank you for sacrificing for Catholic education. Thank you for loving the next generation of students. Thank you for your help to make sure St. Mary’s is always here in Hagerstown!

 

God bless you,

 

Fr. James Boric
