God's Gift Appeal Update:

The 2021 God's Gift Appeal is stil on-going until the end of this year. St. Mary has seen 32,84% of our registered families participate so far. As a reminder, our parish goal is $64,955.59 and we are currently at 78.91% of our goal. If you haven't participated in this year's appeal, there is still time to join. With a few short months left this year, it would truly be a blessing if St. Mary could make up the difference and ultimately help our diocesan family meet its goa.

Please consider donating to the God's Gift Appeal if you haven't already done so.

2021 is the Year of St. Joseph:

150 years ago, Pope Pius IX in his decree Quemadmodum named St. Joseph Patron of the Universal Church.  To commemorate this 150^th anniversary, Pope Francis in his Patris Corde (With a Father's Heart) declared December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021 the Year of St Joseph.

December's theme is St. Joseph, Chaste Guardian of Virgins and Pillar of Families

Due to his chastity and vocation, Joseph has further been entrusted to continue his mission of guarding the pure ones of God and of the integrity of the family. This power flows through him now as a reward of his perfect fidelity. All religious and families should have recourse to this most powerful intercessor.

St. Mary's Hospitality Campaign

We are hoping to replace the tile flooring in our Social Hall and school basement hallway. In addition, we would like to fill the need for an accessible restroom in our Social Hall.

We are calling this our "St. Mary's Hospitality Campaign" and we are asking for your help. If either or both of these needs is valuable to you, please take part in this campaign.

Thank you for your consideration and generosity!

Our main corridor in the basement of the school building is a high-traffic area. Notice the considerable wear in these sections of the floor.

This is the entrance to the room on the north side of our Social Hall we are planning to convert into a single-occupanct unisex restrooom.
