Storytelling, in its truest form, is the activity of sharing a story as a means of entertainment, education, or connection. In contrast, story listening is the activity of opening oneself to another for the sole purpose of learning. At St. Mary’s, we celebrate both.

This edition of the magazine showcases the stories that are uniquely St. Mary’s and demonstrates the impact they have on the world around us.
