St. Mary’s Catholic School continues a 120 year tradition by providing the children of Gainesville and the surrounding area with a quality education, steeped in the values of the Gospel. It is our goal to properly prepare our students to enable them to be ready to assume their rols as stong Catholic leaders of tomorrow.  Our preparation focuses upon the whole child--not just the academic.  Our programs, our spiritual formation and our service opportunities are also very important components of our education.  A major commitment of St. Mary’s Church and School is to keep tuition at an affordable level so that all children, Catholic or non-Catholic, might have the opportunity to benefit from attending our outstanding school. It is with the generouls financial support of our parents, benefactors, alumni, and parishoners that St. Mary's Catholic School is able to provide a well rounded Catholic.

We invite you to be our partners in the education and faith formation of our cherished children. How blessed we are to help them  grow in faith, knowledge, wisdom, and love. Your gifts to our school can help up foster and continue the stellar curriculum that defines St. Mary's Catholic School.

                     Ways to Give To St. Mary's School

  • Cash gifts are the most common form of giving to Catholic Schools.  Your gift becomes immediately available to support important programs and services. The donor will be credited with the full amount of his or her gift - which may be tax deductible. Donations can be specifically designated to the tuition assistance funds, general fund, technology, library fund or any other designation you wish.                 
  • Bequets - Your will is a meaningful way to make a charitable gift of lasting value to our Catholic schools.  Through a bequest provision, you can designate a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after other bequests are satisfied.  Adding a codicil to an existing will is a simple process that begins by making your intentions known to your attorney.
  • Memorial and Tribute Giving - Gifts in memory of deceased friends, loved ones, alumni – or gifts that honor living individuals – are gratefully accepted.  Such contributions are often used to reflect the special interests of the person honored.  Any gift may be designated in memory of, or in honor of, a loved ones.
