The St. Mary’s Academy Alumnae Association is a community of women committed to celebrating and enabling lifelong connections among alumnae. The Association proudly preserves the heritage of St. Mary’s Academy, actualizes the vision of Blessed Marie Rose Durocher, and advocates for future generations.

Beginnings
The present day Alumnae Association has its roots in the Alumnae Association established April 11, 1909, and a later adjunct, the Academicians, formed at the retirement in June 1915 of Sister Joseph Calasanz as Superior of St. Mary’s Academy. The purpose of the group was to foster the spirit of good fellowship and cooperation, not only among themselves, but chiefly towards that splendid institution of learning proudly owned by them as their Alma Mater. 

Today
Today, as in 1909, the Alumnae Association seeks to bring former pupils into closer contact with their alma mater and to co-operate with the Sisters and the staff in their work at St. Mary’s Academy. (By-Law 2001 Art. II). An active Alumnae Board and dedicated members organize events, raise funds for a scholarship, bursaries and special projects and promote the Academy community to the broader community.

The Alumnae Association is open to all former students of the Academy. Alumnae whose contact information is kept current, receive alumnae mailings and invitations to class reunions and The Torch Light newsletter which includes news of the school, news of former students and information about alumnae activities.
