White Oak's Catholic school is getting a new name and patron saint this summer.

Mon-Yough Catholic School will become Mary of Nazareth Catholic School effective July 1, before the 2015-16 academic year, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh announced today.

A Mass will be celebrated at 1:30 p.m. Friday (April 10) at Mon-Yough Catholic to formally announce the name change.

In a letter, Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik said the name is being changed at the request of the school's board of pastors and the Very Rev. Frederick Cain, regional vicar, as well as the diocesan Department of Catholic Schools.

The new name will honor Jesus' mother, Mary, Zubik said.

Mon-Yough Catholic is located at St. Angela Merici Parish in White Oak and was formed in 2012 by a merger of St. Angela Merici school and the former St. Joseph Regional Catholic School in Port Vue. It serves students from throughout McKeesport and its suburbs.

The name change marks "another beginning" for Mon-Yough Catholic, Zubik said.

Jesus' mother has been venerated since early Christianity as "a model for Christian living," he said, adding that her willingness to respond to God's call and her care for Jesus "are important qualities" for the school to emulate.

"I trust that the faculty, parents and students will embrace Mary of Nazareth as a model not only for their education but for their formation as members of the Church," Zubik said.
