Service is an important aspect of school life at St. Mary's.  Students daily contribute mission money to the Holy Childhood Association for the poor children around the world.  Our students also participate in the nationwide annual "Make a Difference Day" and earned an Honorable Mention Award in 2006 for sending school supplies to the children of Iraq.

The students also support "Back to the Wild," a wild animal rehab hospital in Castalia.  Throughout the year, many collections are also held.  These include:  food for the Clyde Food Pantry, pop tabs for various causes, and toys and coats for the "Caring for Clyde's Kids" Christmas collection.  

This year students will also participate in St. Jude's Math-a-thon.

Grade one students assist with Community Wide Coat Drive with chairperson - Kay Dick
