Message from Pastor
The Drexel Fund helps us to send children from Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish to St. Mary Catholic School in Newton where they are provided with "a Catholic learning environment in which they are challenged to maximum growth spiritually, academically, emotionally and physically." Our children that attend St. Mary not only do very well academically but also have the opportunity to participate in the school's music and sports programs.

What makes us special
- We have been forming disciples of Jesus Christ in Harvey County through our Catholic school education since 1880, the longest running school in the diocese.
- St. Mary was named a 2013-14 and 2015-16 Diocesan Banner School
- As one middle school student wrote, "I am proud to attend a Catholic School because I get to be in a place where I feel safe and am always in the presence of God."
