Spirit of Place

Dear Alumni & Friends,

Some places stay with us long after we leave them. St. Mary of the Plains is one of those places.

Our Spirit of Place Memorial Plaza will preserve that connection-- a place to remember the people who shaped us, honor our Academy, high school and college years, and share the St. Maty's story with future generations.

We are grateful to everyone who has purchased a brick, provided sponsorship or made a donation. So far, 81 of the 220 available bricks have been purchased and two of the three icon panels have been sponsored. Each gift brings our vision closer to reality. However, sales and sponsorships remain below what we need and fundraising ends December 31, 2026.

We understand household budgets are stretched and many alumni live on fixed incomes. We also recognize that some of you may only now be learning about the project. We want everyone to know there is still time to participate in a way that is meaningful and manageable.

If your circumstances allow, please consider purchasing an engraved brick. Celebrate your years at St. Mary, honor an instructor or Sister, remember a classmate or recognize your family's connection to the school. Classmates, siblings or friends can also share the cost of a brick.

Read the entire article on the "Presiden't Page" tab.

 

 

The Spirit of Place Campaign is now active.
