THE BELLS OF ST. MARY’S…
Legacy Campaign has entered
stage two of our efforts: contacting our high school alumni around the country
about the campaign and inviting them to participate. If you are an
alumnus who is still a parishioner here, we apologize if you get a second
mailing, as we are still refining our data base.
The bishop has given the go
ahead on the bell and clock restoration, and final contracts are being drawn up
to get the project started.
HOMECOMING IS COMING!
Reserve August 8 and 9 to
enjoy St. Mary’s annual homecoming festival. Watch for your raffle tickets in
the mail. And please consider being a volunteer. Deal cards, help
with Thursday set up, work at one of the booths, or just volunteer wherever you
are most needed. Clip and return the form below so that we can start organizing
shifts of volunteers. Just two or three hours of your time either night would
be a huge help.
