When discussing the Bible’s New Testament, there are several individuals aside from Jesus that gander a lot of attention. It is not uncommon to hear pastors and priest preaching about the disciples that walked with the messiah during his time of great works during a Sunday service.

However, even though the Bible is considerable a masculine text, there are many notable women sprinkled throughout it. Most notable, of course, would be the mother of Jesus, Mary. She made several appearances throughout the Gospel from the moment the angel came to her and said “Greetings, favored one!

It's been a spectacular ten years here at the school of St. Mary’s. I remember my first day of pre-school. As I walked in the PGC with my size 2 gym shoes and my button down red shirt, I had no clue what was waiting for me here at the school of St. Mary’s. All the awesome memories I would make such as playing soccer every day at recess, first communion in my suit and tie with all my friends, Mr. D playing basketball with us at recess, Mr. Head making awesome plays in the 8th grade volleyball game, and also all the other amazing memories St. Mary's gave to me that I'll never forget.
