Veterans Day Parade - We'll See You There!

Yes, We are Still Having the Parade Tomorrow
Saturday, November 11, 10:00 a.m.
Yes, We are Still Having the Memorial Service Outside
Yes, We Know it is Going to be Freezing Cold -
So, please, bundle up and dress warm!
We are so proud of our St. Mary's Community; no one has asked us to cancel. No one has backed out. There are so many Vets participating this year - younger vets, older vets, wounded vets - some for the very first time. Whether you are marching in the parade, or standing in the crowd, we thank you for coming out and supporting our military families tomorrow. Thank you for being there for them the way they have always been there for us.
