For further information, please email me at [email protected], or speak to one of these current parents who participated on Monday:

Operation Decoration for our troops both here and abroad produced some great art and team building opportunities amongs the Houses.
The Catholic Spirit even came to do a piece on it, so keep your eyes peeled for STM to be featured in the next issue! (Interesting fact: the Catholic Spirit's photographer, Dave Hrbacek, photographed Mr. Olsen's wedding.)
