About the Program

Your $25 membership signifies your family’s commitment to being active members of the STVM family. It keeps you informed about upcoming events and helps the Parents’ Club to be able to support the school and students with things like: Freshman Family Breakfast, purchase of National Honor Society Pins, speakers for our students, teacher appreciation events, and much more. All members also receive a STVM tumbler, invites to all Club meetings with special guest speakers, and new families can request to be partnered with an Irish Guide. The Irish Guide is a parent who has been involved in the school and can try to answer any questions you may have. Please join us in making a difference at STVM!
