Safety Starts at the Door: St Mary's 2026 Campaign

Spend a few minutes at the doors of St. Mary’s in the morning and you’ll see what makes this place so special. There are sleepy waves at drop off, little ones hurrying to catch up with a friend, and teachers calling out a good morning by name. It’s a small part of the school day, but it’s often the first moment a child is reminded that they belong here.

This year, we’re asking our St. Mary’s family to help us replace every exterior door on our main school building. New doors will help us keep our students, teachers, and staff safer. They’ll also help keep cooled air inside during Mobile’s hot months, making the building more comfortable and energy-efficient.

Since 1867, generations of Mobile families have made St. Mary’s a place where children are known, loved, and encouraged to grow in their faith. Some of you remember being greeted by name when you walked into school here. Others get to watch your own children come through those doors each morning. This project is a chance for all of us to care for the place that has meant so much to so many of us.

Please give to St. Mary’s through #iGiveCatholic and help us replace all of our exterior doors. It’s a big project, and every gift helps us get closer. If you’re able to give a little more this year, it would mean so much to our school. We’d also love for you to share the campaign with grandparents, former classmates, parish friends, or anyone who has a special place in their hearts for St. Mary’s. Tell them what this school has meant to your family. That’s an invitation only you can give!

Thank you for looking after the children who walk through our doors today and the little Mustangs who will take their first steps through them in the years to come!
