ST. MARY PARTICIPATED IN THE 30TH
ANNUAL NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY BEE St. Mary Catholic School participated in the 30
th anniversary
of the National Geography Bee on Monday, January 15,
2018. This is a geography competition designed to inspire
and reward students’ curiosity about the world. Students in
grades Sixth through Eighth took a written test that answered
questions on geography. Ten students with the highest scores
from the written test moved on to the next step, which was a
live oral competition if front of their peers. Those top ten
students were Joe Burke, Joe Goff, Nick LeVasseur,
Finnegan Beecher, Grace Tervo, Chase Dewey, Zach
deBeauclair, Evan Kinter, Nick Marcicky, and Miranda Hall.
After many final rounds to break the tie between Zach and
Nick, Zach deBeauclair came out on top as the final winner.
Thousands of schools around the United States and in the
five U.S. territories will have their school champion,
including Zach deBeauclair take a qualifying test. Up to 100
of the top scorers on that test in each state will then be
eligible to compete in their state Bee on April 6, 2018.
The National Geography Society will provide an all-expenses
paid trip to Washington, D.C., for state winners to participate
in the Bee national championship rounds May 20-23, 2018.
The first place national champion will receive a $50,000
college scholarship, a lifetime membership in the Society,
including a subscription to National Geographic magazine,
and an all-expense paid Lindblad expedition to the Galapagos
Islands. Second and third place finishers will receive
$25,000 and $10,000 college scholarships, respectively.
Good luck Zach and congratulations to all of our participants.

HELP NEEDED St Mary Men’s Club will again be hosting our Parish Lenten
Fish Dinners beginning on February 16th. We take great
pride in serving a quality product to our patrons. Some folks
travel quite a distance, passing several Parishes who also
serve Lenten Fish Dinners, just to come to our dinner.
Serving a quality product takes a lot of work and
commitment. Having said that, if you have the time to help
we will take it! Prep work is done on Thursdays mornings
before each dinner starting at 8am and we try to be done
around noon. You don’t have to be a chef as there are many
work stations where your help is needed. A light lunch will
be provided. If Thursday mornings don’t work we can
always use the help on Fridays as we begin setup at 1pm and
there is plenty to do right up until cleanup is finished. Any
assistance you can provide for any length of time is
appreciated. Naturally this allows you bragging
rights to your friends and family that you were a
part of serving the greatest fish dinner in the
history of the world. Quite an honor indeed,
thank-you for your consideration!

Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to you. Allow Your healing Hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others; touch my heart with Your courage and infinite Love for all; touch my mind with Your Wisdom, and may my mouth always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in all my needs, and help me to lead others to You by my example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch gently this life which you have created, now and forever. Amen. http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=1325
