The thing I love the most about Saint Mary's is the community. The students, the faculty, the staff, the Sisters, the buildings, the landscape, the plants, the animals, the seasons, and most of all, the opportunity for discovery of the beauty of creation at every corner. In every member of the community, from the smallest creature to the largest building, the light of God shines forth in marvelous splendor.
