Go Tell John (LK 7:18-23)

Today the student body packed St. Mary's Church to celebrate their annual Carol Service. Students, faculty and staff were challenged to go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is the reason St. Mary's College exists. The Gospel of the day recounted the story of John the Baptist sending messengers to Jesus to ask if He is the one- Jesus sent them back and told them to proclaim what they have seen and heard - so too are the members of the College called to do the same - by the way they live their lives each day. The Christmas holiday began after the last exam of the day and the students and teachers will return refreshed (we hope) and ready to begin 2011 on January 4th.

Unconditionally Proud!

We received word that our Choir did not receive enough votes to move to the top 4. Although it is disappointing news, we should be extremely proud of our students and their teacher. They entered the competition with 34 other schools, many are much larger than St. Mary's. Not having been in the All Together Sing for many years, their performance was extraordinary. Hard work and determination really paid off. Of course we would be proud of our students even if they didn't move to the top five.

A BIG thank you to all who took the time and credit to vote for Saint Mary's Choir. As a way of offering thanks, a special concert will be held on Friday December 17th at 6:00pm in the Saint Mary's Church yard. All are invited. Admission is free. Refreshments will be on sale and proceeds will go to help the choir reach All Together Sing 2011.

Thumbs up for the choir!

WOW!!!!!!

Watch All Together Sing and be Blessed as our Choir continues to move to the top spot of the competition. They taped Thursday (November 18) at TV J and were fantastic - the best sound all year! Listen to the comments by the three judges. Thanks again for all who have voted and please continue to support St. Mary's College. The students are soooo excited!

The music teacher's pep talk Thursday morning was focused on "David and Goliath" - David doing the seemingly impossible and it was only with the help of the Lord, who was his and our shepherd!

VOTE: 444-8802

Hot Dog! 444-8802

From the last note our Choir Sings on Sunday night until 12noon Wednesday, we can vote, vote, vote for Saint Mary's College 444-8802. As a way to purchase valuable cell phone credits in order to vote, the College and Church Community have become very creative. On Fridays the student body is invited to pay $40 to attend a special concert after school. Under the direction of the PTA President baked goods are sold during lunch.

The Church has also gotten into the Choir mania. Marc, Tennessee and Above Rocks own Bobby Flay prepare the American favorite - hot dogs to be sold to the students and teachers. Every little bit counts. We all appreciate all those who have and continue to vote for St. Mary's College.

Proud of our Students
UNCONDITIONALLY!

7th Heaven

Saint Mary's College is in the top 7 Choirs in the Country. Today they taped Sunday's Show - thank you for watching and vote, vote, vote!
