St. Mary's 150th Anniversary Heralding Society
In anticipation of the year-long celebration of our parish's 150th Anniversary, we have several special projects planned to help mark this momentous occasion by proclaiming where we have been and heralding where we aspire to go. These include:
HERALDING OUR PAST
Commemorative booklet and DVD detailing our parish’s rich 150-year history.
A history timeline of the parish to be displayed in the church hallways.
CELEBRATING OUR PRESENT
Custom-designed Vestments, Stoles and Altar Cloths for the 150th Anniversary Masses.
A 150th Anniversary stone walkway that will wind along the north side of the church to the Grotto prayer area.
HERALDING OUR FUTURE
Parish Endowment Fund enhancements.
Legacy Society Charter Membership.
Our goal is to raise $150,000 towards these endeavors and need your financial assistance to make this a reality. We urge you to consider participating at one of these giving levels:
Proclaimer $3,000 and up
Heralder $1,500
Angel $150
Donations will be recognized with a paver in the 150th Walkway. The Walkway paver is the perfect way to immortalize your family name as being part of the Anniversary Commemoration.
Proclaimer Paver 12x12 (8 lines/14 characters per line)
Heralder Paver 12x6 (3 lines/14 characters per line)
Angel Paver 6x6 (3 lines/10 characters per line)
SUGGESTION: Your family members' names and family year of registration on this paver will add a lasting legacy to the history and future of St. Mary Parish.
As we prepare to celebrate 150 years of God’s many blessings upon our parish, please consider making your financial gift to the 150th Heralding Angel Society. Donations received by June 6, 2009 will have their recognition paver installed in time for the Opening Mass in September.
