has been away for a while? Did you miss Confirmation? Then the Rite of
Christian Initiation (RCIA) is for you. It begins with a cook-out on August 19th, at 6:30 p.m. on
the back patio of Father’s house (to the right of the Church when facing it

over a three (3) year period. 100%
of the monies collected over our BAA goal stay here at St. Mary. These monies
will be used for historic preservation of our buildings and tuition assistance
for those in need to attend our school. If you have not pledged or given to
this important campaign please prayerfully consider doing so. Campaign
cards and brochures are in the rear of the church near the picture of Pope
Benedict. If you already pledged, nothing further is required. We
appreciate your generosity.
