Even if you don’t golf, we will have bounce houses that day for the kids and plenty of space for our non-golfers to hang out, chat, and catch up with each other at the golf club (no need to register for that!)

School Tours: We will have a staff member available to lead tours at the school so you can see the changes and ask questions about all the updates and work done over this past year. 

Alumni Mass: The 50 year class (1975) is responsible for the mass, which will be held at St. Mary’s High School gym this year, due to the renovation work that will be taking place at St. Patrick’s.

Banquet Speakers & Meal: As we are hoping for a larger crowd this year, we will be having the banquet at the KC Hall! Our speakers this year are Father Paul Hoesing & Sister Anita Rolenc, as they reminisce on their time at St. Mary’s & share encouragement for our future together. We will have special gifts for our alumni, a video to share, family trees to share of our generations of families, and more! Cost for the banquet meals is $40 each. As a small token of our appreciation for all that you have given to St. Mary’s over the years, we invite all of our current & past faculty to join us at no cost for that meal.  RSVPs for the banquet meal need to be in by Monday, June 23rd. You can complete the form below or fill it out/pay online at www.stmarysoneill.org/alumni. If you would like to donate to help offset the costs of the meals for our teachers/administrators, that can be sent in as well or included with the online registration. 

Commemorative Items: This year, we will be offering a commemorative book for 125 years of St. Mary’s, featuring our history, alumni, past & present administrators, service men & women, those who have entered religious life, and of course, many pictures. We are still putting this together, but they will be available by PRE-ORDER. We will also have an online St. Mary’s Alumni store linked to our website. We will have all items available to pick up that weekend, or you can have them shipped to you directly. We hope to have some copies of the books and other items available that weekend, but they will be limited. Please watch for more information on the website at stmarysoneill.org or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/stmarysoneill for details on the book and other items.
