The Monarchs of TMP-Marian Are Enthroned!

TMP-Marian consecrated itself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the prayerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary today with an all-school enthronement service.

Images of Jesus and Mary were placed in a prominent part of the main hallway as a reminder and message of who rules the minds and hearts at this school.

Thank you Sr. Mary Monica and Sr. Mary Agnes, IHMs, for bringing this idea to life. Thank you Fr. Brian McCaffrey for organizing and leading the enthronement service.

Strong gratitude goes to Matt '97 Brown, Konnor '18 Splichal, Tom Kisner, Steve Werth, and Sheldon Werth for their generosity of time and talent in constructing this space . Thank you Preston '26 Mermis for setting up the theater and technology making this visible to the entire school. Also, thank you to the TMP-Marian Alumni Association Board for donating funds to this project.

For all those too numerous to name for your gift of time, music, help, and prayer...thank you!

Sacred Heart of Jesus...Have mercy on us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary...Pray for us!

If you are available, remember the Enthronement tomorrow at TMP-Marian at 8 a.m. God bless!

Come out and watch our runners this Saturday!

Hope everyone is getting excited for tonight's football game versus Russell! We are hoping to white out the stadium so dress in your white Monarch gear!

All are invited to the Enthronement on Sep. 8. It's in the Dreiling Theater and will last approx. 30 minutes.
