Mahar & Alumni Awards

The 2026 Fr. Mahar, Irish Crusader, and Marian Medal of Peace Awards Dinner will take place on Thursday, October 15th.

The Fr. Mahar Award

The Father Thomas F. Mahar Outstanding Alumni Award, named in honor of the priest who founded both St. Mary High School and St. Vincent High School, recognizes alumni for outstanding contribution and service to school, church, community, and/or profession.

Marian Medal of Peace & Justice

In the spirit of the Gospel, and in the Marianist Tradition, the Marian Medal of Peace and Justice is awarded to a living graduate of St. Mary, St. Vincent, or St. Vincent-St. Mary High School who has embraced and embodied God’s reign by his or her efforts to protect human rights, to steward the earth’s resources, and/or to promote peace. He or she has inspired our spirit, and has revealed the face of God to the world through these efforts.

Irish Crusader Award

This award, established in 2008, recognizes those individuals who are not graduates of St. Mary, St. Vincent, or St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, but who play an active role in volunteering for special events and programs that further the mission of our school. The Irish Crusader Award recipients have a longstanding and positive relationship with the school.
