About SMAGOGA
Our Story,
Our Purpose
From a school that shaped us, to a sisterhood that sustains us.
who we are
A legacy rooted in faith, forged in excellence
The St. Maria Goretti Old Girls Association (SMAGOGA) is a vibrant, global community of women who share the treasured experience of attending St. Maria Goretti Secondary School. Established in 1999, SMAGOGA has grown from a small gathering of passionate alumnae into a formidable network spanning cities and continents.
Named in honour of St. Maria Goretti — patron saint of chastity, forgiveness, and youth — our association carries forward the values she embodied: purity of purpose, courage in adversity, and grace in all circumstances.
We exist to foster fellowship among old girls, support current students and staff of our alma mater, and use our collective influence to improve lives within the school community and beyond.
