As we wrap up Catholic Schools Week, we are reminded of what makes St. Mary's Colgan so special—We are SMC because we are Catholic in every aspect of our lives. In our faith, in our classrooms, in our gyms, in our hallways, and most importantly, in our hearts.
We are truly blessed to live our faith out loud every single day. And what better way to conclude this week than with a Eucharistic Procession, bringing Christ presence into our building and walking with Him.
May we continue to grow in faith, serve with love, and keep Christ at the center of all we do. Once a Panther, always a Panther! 💙🙏 Happy Catholic Schools Week. YOU are Colgan!
Panthers are 100 days smarter AND stronger!!
Today as we celebrate VOCATIONS during Catholic Schools Week, special guests spoke to all the classrooms at SME. Mrs. Ruthie Dellasega and Mrs. Kate Strader spoke about the vocation of marriage. Sr. Mary Ann, Fr. Jon, and Fr. Caleb spoke about religious life. A big take away from their talks encouraged our students to begin thinking and praying about the vocation God is calling them to!
Our JH students traveled to Topeka to participate in the March for Life in Kansas, joining others to show support for life. #LoveThemBoth

“Fill the Hallways” Campaign for Catholic Schools Week
Let’s fill our hallways with love and generosity! Grades 7-12 are collecting non-perishable food and bottled water for the Lord’s Diner’s “Friday Backpack” program, helping to Feed the Hungry—a powerful Corporal Work of Mercy. This Student Council event runs all week, so keep those donations coming! Check out the Lord’s Diner wishlist here: https://5il.co/3665c and let’s make a BIG impact!
