Ways to Give

In 1869, with determination, sacrifice and extraordinary gifts of time, talent and financial support, the Sisters of Mercy established the Academy of the Incarnation; North Carolina's first Catholic school. Later, the school became what we know today as St. Mary Catholic School.

Today, support for St. Mary School comes from parents, grandparents, friends, foundations and corporations.  We accept all forms of support, from time volunteering to coach young minds, to special talents or in-kind donations, to monetary giving.  See below for more opportunities to support the oldest Catholic School in North Carolina.
