Efforts continue on two fronts to grow St. Mary’s Parish School by raising the school’s profile in recruitment and by fundraising to make tuition affordable. This Saturday, April 27, the annual Spring Auction & Raffle gets underway after the 5 pm Mass in the St. Mary’s High School Gymnasium. Last year, this fundraiser brought in more than $70,000! We plan to surpass that this year with amazing items up for bids including: autographed Tom Brady jerseys, Red Sox and Bruins jerseys.

Also, you can purchase raffle tickets for a week in Ireland. The first 500 people to enter will receive a Saint Mary’s bag with their raffle tickets at the door! The gym is filling up with tables displaying dozens of auction items. To preview the auction and get an update on the school’s recruitment efforts and plans for 2019-2020 school year please call: Director of Advancement; Robin Jensen at 413-568-1160; or Matt Collins, HS Principal at 413-568-5692. Our future is bright and filled with activity! St. Mary’s Parish Schools is also preparing for Designer Bag Bingo on May 16 and building a float for the Westfield 350 Parade on May 19.

Located at 27-35 Bartlett Street, Westfield MA St. Mary’s is a Roman Catholic preschool through grade 12 school that strives to develop in all students: academic success, spiritual growth, character and integrity. Guided by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and supported by families, we provide a quality Catholic Education where students are challenged to reach their highest potential and are inspired to embrace a life of service for God and neighbor.
