Objectives

One of the main objects for which the Foundation was established is:

“To provide all manner of assistance and foster the interests in the field of education and extra-curricular activities of the institution known as St. Mary’s College.”

Fund Raising


The Foundation was recently assigned the responsibility for planning and executing a major activity within the St Mary’s College community - the annual fund-raiser known as ‘Fete With The Saints’.

Basically, the same committee that has planned and executed Fete With The Saints over the past several years, including since the event was moved to our Sports Grounds at Serpentine Road, St. Clair, remains in place. That committee has been jointly chaired by Messrs. Roberto Ramirez and Joseph Hadad and these two alumni have done so with great success, resulting in the event now being ranked in the top tier of All-Inclusive Carnival fetes, whether organized by schools or other organizations. Therefore, patrons attending Fete With The Saints 2023 are assured of the very high standards in all aspects that they have enjoyed over the years.

The earnings over the years from this event have enabled the College to finance many Capital projects and this policy will remain in place. The only difference is that the Organizing Committee is now operating under the umbrella of the St. Mary’s College Alumni Foundation.
