International Day, 50th Anniversary
Sunday, April 27, 2025

St. Mary's Academy's Parents’ Guild is thrilled to host the 50th Anniversary of International Day.
First held in 1975, International Day was created by the Parents’ Guild (then called the Mothers’ Guild) to bring the SMA community together in celebration of the rich cultural diversity of our families. Fifty years later, the event remains a cherished tradition that is filled with the vibrancy of many wonderful cultures, and continues to offer a meaningful opportunity to build community. This celebration is all about you—our valued community members whose diversity, talents, faith, and commitment continually renew the life of our community and reflect the spirit of our SNJM roots and rich history.
