Welcome et Bienvenue to St. Mary’s Catholic School… Home of the Spirits! It is a true privilege to welcome our students, families, and community to another exciting school year in beautiful Listowel, Ontario.
As a vibrant JK–Grade 8 Dual Track French Immersion school, St. Mary’s provides a rich and balanced education. We are dedicated to strong academics across literacy, numeracy, science, social studies, the arts, and French language learning—all rooted deeply in our Catholic values. As part of an inclusive school board, we embrace the unique gifts of every child and are committed to creating a welcoming environment where the diverse learning needs of all students under our care are supported and nurtured.
Through our strong partnership with the Northern Huron-Perth Catholic Family of Parishes, Father Joseph, and Deacon Waechter, faith remains at the center of our daily life. Through regular prayer, school Masses, sacramental preparation, and service, we guide our students to live out the fundamental call to love God and love our neighbors. We want every child to know they are deeply loved and capable of making a positive difference in the world.
Our shared mission is to nurture the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Education is a true partnership between home, school, and parish, and we are profoundly grateful for the trust you place in us every day. We warmly invite parents and guardians to play an active role in our school community, including joining our Catholic School Advisory Council (CSAC). Your voice, ideas, and involvement are vital as we work together to support student achievement and well-being.
Our dedicated and compassionate staff are here to walk alongside your family every step of the way.
The door is always open. La porte est toujours ouverte. Please never hesitate to reach out to me directly at 519-291-3000.
Blessings,
Laurie Otten
Acting Principal, St. Mary's Catholic School
