The St. Mary School Class of 2026 recently completed a meaningful service trip to Villa Maria Education and Spirituality Retreat Center, located in western Pennsylvania.

Villa Maria serves as the residence for Catholic sisters retired from active ministry, many of whom have dedicated their lives to service and faithbased outreach. In addition, the Sisters of the Humility of Mary have established and maintained a productive farm that plays a vital role in supporting the surrounding community.

St. Mary students rolled up their sleeves and provided much-needed assistance across the property. Working the fields and throughout the farm, the students helped prepare the land for the upcoming growing season. Their efforts directly contribute to the farm’s ability to produce fresh food that supports families in need throughout the region. Additional produce grown at Villa Maria is sold at the on-site market, helping to sustain the sisters’ ongoing efforts.
