100 Years Of Loyal Service In 1985 our beloved Sister’s of Mercy proudly celebrated 100 years of loyalty and dedication to the students of St. Mary’s. The Sisters of Mercy began teaching elementary grades in 1885 at the request of Father Kelly. By 1900 Mother Margaret Mary, Principal, with three other Sisters, provided a three year academic program for 64 students. In 1918 the State of New Jersey approved the full four year high school program. Augmenting the present staff of 4 religious are many dedicated lay men and women who are helping to fulfill the dream of these early pioneers in the teaching profession. Built on many lives, many sacrifices, and many years, St. Mary High School continues its dedication to excellence in education and its service to youth. May God Bless you dear Sisters! “To have experienced and understood, in order to teach others to experience and understand, that all human enrichment is but dross except inasmuch as it becomes the most precious and uncorruptible of all things by adding itself to an immortal centre of love; such is the supreme knowledge and the ultimate lesson to be imparted by the Christian Educator.” Teilhard de Chardin Sister Mary Celeste (32 years at S.M.H.)
