With their agreement, the first meals were served in the parish hall in the fall school year of 1999. This year saw the completion of a new weight room addition on the north side of the gym. The Booster Club, interested parents and supporters helped bring this project to fruition. The 1999 Year also saw the passing of two long-time teaching sisters at St. Mary's - Sister George Shoemaker and Sister Antonella Troshynski. Sister Agnesmarie Slaight, the last of the Franciscan nuns at St. Mary's, retired as principal of the grade school.
