St. Mary’s Centennial Memories
As the mid-point of St. Mary’s centennial year approaches, work is underway on an Anniversary book to mark this important event. We are asking parishioners to contact us if you were a part of any organizations that go back in time, including . . .
- Holy Name Society CYO
- Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts
- Catholic War Veterans
- Graduates of St. Mary’s School
- Friday Night Holy Hour & Pizza
- Sacristy Helpers
- Search Program
- Catholic Daughters of America
We are also looking for photos and other memorabilia from the school, particularly graduating class photos. Also, if you have fond memories of any of the priests who have served at St. Mary’s, we would like to interview you. Please leave your name and number at the parish office and we will contact you soon.
