Our parish is in the midst of the Legacy of Hope campaign. Each parish in the diocese is raising funds to be utilized at both the diocesan and parish levels.
Of all monies raised, 60% will go to the diocese and 40% will remain in our parish. Should we meet the target, the percentages will be reversed and 40% will go to the diocese and 60% will remain in our parish.Your pledge can be spread over a four year time-frame. You may choose the start date of your pledge and remember it is not legally binding. If your circumstances change you may change your pledge.
Our Target:
$488,152.00
Our Parish Share:
$195,261.00
The money raised for our parish will be used for these four predetermined needs:
1. Repair and expand the main part of the campus parking lot and seal the entire lot
2. Install new exterior signs including a combined St. Mary Parish and Our Lady of the Valley School sign
3. Establish a fund for ongoing parish maintenance needs
4. Create an endowment fund for St. Mary Parish

This weekend, Nov. 9th and 10th, is Commitment Weekend for the Legacy of Hope campaign. There will be Commitment cards in all the pews. If you have not pledged to the campaign yet, we ask that you take a Commitment card home and prayerfully consider what you can give to this worthy campaign.
"The goal of this campaign is to make the parishes stronger because the life of the Church happens in the parish - the diocese is as strong as its parishes."
