St. Mary's Colgan Catholic Schools

Panthers, we are saddened to share more difficult news this week. Yesterday we learned of the sudden passing of Sr. Mary Clare, IHM a former and beloved teacher/librarian at our Elementary School (2018–2021). Please keep her family and the IHM community in your prayers. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.

Yesterday, St. Mary’s Colgan Catholic Schools shared heartbreaking and shocking news with our Panther family: the unexpected passing of one of our beloved faculty members, Coach Carl Roth. Coach Roth was not only a coach, but also a mentor and friend to so many. His loss has deeply affected our school community.

We ask for your prayers for his family during this difficult time. Please also remember that our priests and additional counselors are here to support anyone in need.

We love you, Panthers. Let's lean on one another and stay close to God in prayer today.

9/22: JV Football at Neosho has been CANCELLED.
