About Us
THE HAIL MARY CLUB WAS ORGANIZED IN THE SUMMER OF 2013 BY A GROUP OF PARENTS AND ALUMNI WHO WANTED TO SUPPORT CATHOLIC EDUCATION.
It was then, and is now, the vision of the HMC Board of Directors to partner with the community to provide additional resources, as necessary, to assist local Catholic schools. We want every student to be proud of their school and its facilities, as well as everyone who comes to visit. With your support, we are succeeding.
In the previous 36 months, with the support of many, we have been able to achieve quite a lot. We have provided everything from facility improvements, to new uniforms and new tackling sleds, to team meals after Mass on game Fridays, to spirit buses so fans can support teams away from home. We have provided some form of support to a variety of teams, including the band and cheerleading squads, and will continue to do so.
While some schools enjoy exceptional facilities, there are always needs and opportunities to improve. This is one area the HMC has, and will, help bridge the gap. The rest is up to you!
