The Men’s Club assists our parish community, as well as the surrounding Hudson area, with untold financial and material support through its service programs.

Each year, the Men’s Club donates time, talent and treasure to support the building of a Habitat for Humanity home through the Hudson Coalition of Churches.

We also cook and serve the dinners for the annual Christ Renews His Parish retreats and deliver Christmas Poinsettias to shut-ins.

Additionally, many parishioners look forward to the Men’s Club selling Honey Baked Hams and Turkeys during Advent and Lent, with proceeds helping to support various church and youth service projects.

Each year, the Saint Mary Men’s Club awards a college scholarship to a St. Mary Parish High School Senior. It is a scholarship named for the late Reverend Joseph Costello, a pastor who served the parish for many years prior to his death.

The scholarship is for educational training beyond high school at any college, university, seminary, convent or technical school.

The CRITERIA for this scholarship is, as follows:

• Personal Commitment and Involvement in One’s Faith
• Community Service
• Extracurricular Activities
• Character and Leadership
• Academic Record

Scholarship applications are available on or about March 1 of each year (see the bulletin for details). Applications must be completed electronically and returned to the designated email address by the prescribed due date (about six weeks later) for consideration by the scholarship committee.
