Gifts of Treasure Our Faith, Our Hope, Our Future Capital Campaign... $1.6 Million Raised to Date! St. Mary’s Capital Campaign, with a goal of $1.8 million, hopes to complete necessary restorations to St. Mary’s historic church building built in 1926 at a cost of $1.1 million, and secure the parish debt of $700,000 incurred through investments made by the parish to ensure the future growth of St. Mary Catholic School. Restorations to the church include: stained-glass window repairs, replacement of the church ceiling, installation of a new air-conditioning system, refurbishment of the kneelers, repair of water and moisture damage, upgrades to the church bathroom, and installation of new sound and fire-alarm systems. Investments in the school include restoration of the first and third floors of the Sisters of Mercy Building, now home to St. Mary’s Preschool and Middle School; and purchase of adjoining property now used for St. Mary’s art program and after school care. The campaign will offer naming opportunities to donors including the recently renovated six middle school classrooms, and all of the church stained-glass windows. Stewardship Appeal 2010 Last Year to Buy a Brick to benefit St. Mary Catholic School! St. Mary Catholic School’s Annual Fund Drive for the 2009-2010 year is under way with Desi Tobias as this year’s chairman. With more than $50,000 combined proceeds from the 2008-2009 drive, and the 2008 Steve Thompson Mustang Golf Tournament, St. Mary was able to complete the majority of the comprehensive site- plan goals including a new grassy play area, privacy fencing and a new Lafayette Street paved visitor parking area and drive. The plan hopes to be complete with funds raised this year to include a paved brick pathway and plaza. Each and every year dollars are provided for technology improvement, academic dollars for the classroom and endowment growth. Bricks make great gifts for friends and family and can be purchased for as little as $150 each. Bricks are a great way to honor events such as birthdays and anniversaries, and to memorialize loved ones. For more information, contact St. Mary’s Development Office, 432-8678, ext. 2.
