"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."  

-Bishop McManus  

In order to continue building on the legacy of faith with which we have been entrusted, it is our privilege and responsibility to provide hope for the future of the Catholic Church in Central Massachusetts and for the future of our very special St. Mary Parish.  We, as a community, are invited to be a part of the “Legacy of Hope” Capital Campaign, a landmark financial endeavor to strengthen our parish and the parish communities and our diocesan Church.

The success of this campaign will depend upon your joining us in a commitment to prayer, active involvement in support of the capital campaign and financial participation.  We are invited to embrace the vision of this campaign as described in the enclosed materials.  This campaign gives us an opportunity to go beyond our comfort zones to sacrifice in the name of Jesus Christ so as to provide a firm foundation of hope for our local Church. We pray and ask for God’s blessing we work together for the future success of our parishes, schools and our entire diocesan Church.

Our Parish needs:

Parking lot: 

Estimated at $140,000.00 to repair and expand the St Mary Parish campus parking lot. The parking lot is in need of repairs and during peak times, there are not enough parking spaces.

Signage:

Estimated at $10,000.00 to replace old signs and add new ones to indicate handicapped spots and directions to the Parish Office.

Ongoing Parish Maintenance:

Estimated at $25,000.00 for maintenance of the Parish infrastructure and buildings.

Endowment:

$25,000.00 of endowment seed money to support the on-going workings of the Parish. Only the interest earned would be used in the future workings of the Parish.

     God our Father, you are the source of all goodness and of every blessing. We give you thanks and praise for the gift of our Catholic faith that is deeply rooted in your abundant love for us.

     We ask your blessing upon our efforts to help secure the future of the Church in the Diocese of Worcester. May your people respond with faith and generosity to our Legacy of Hope Capital Campaign and may the sacrifices we make together today bear fruit in lives of faith, hope and love for  generations to come.

We ask all this through Christ our Lord.

Amen!
