A Word of Welcome from Our Principal
Welcome to Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s Catholic School, home to a rich tradition of quality Catholic education since 1883. Throughout our history, countless individuals have devoted their time, faith, and resources to building the strong foundation on which our school stands today. Their dedication continues to create an environment where students can learn, grow, and discover God’s plan for their lives. This mission of forming the whole person is evident in the wide range of programs and opportunities offered at St. Mary’s.
By integrating academic coursework, extracurricular activities, and spiritual development, we encourage students to cultivate their God-given gifts. Our Catholic faith is present in all that we do. The faculty and staff at St. Mary’s live out their vocations with commitment and joy, providing an example of faithful service while upholding the teachings of the Catholic Church. The collaboration among our faculty, staff, students, families, and community members creates an atmosphere that reflects both the vitality of the Church and the enduring value of Catholic education. We strive to seek the Truth in all things and to allow that Truth to shape our daily lives.
We hope that everyone who enters St. Mary’s will encounter the Gospel witness of Jesus Christ in our school community as we work to form engaged citizens of this world—and, even more importantly, citizens of Heaven.
We welcome all to visit and experience the many wonderful things happening at St. Mary’s!
Mr. Peter Roufs
