Please donate to the Annual Catholic Appeal:

ACA funds help run Catholic Charities, education of seminarians, youth and young adult coordination for the Diocese, the marriage tribunal ministry, marriage preparation for couples, campus ministry, and more. The theme for this year is “Yesterday, Today and Forever.” We ask that your prayerfully decide what to give this year.

Furniture Bank:

We have a great need for new or gently used pots, pans, skillets, dish towels, bath towels, wash clothes and all sizes of bed sheet sets (labeled with size please). If everyone can find a few, it will help a lot. Drop off at the St. Mary Parish Ministry Center or call St. Mary’s office for pick up. (419-782-2776) Thanks for helping those in need.

Stations of the Cross

We will be praying the Stations of the Cross each Friday at 5:00 pm during Lent: Please consider setting aside what will be less than an hour of time to pray and reflect on the Lord’s passion, where we are reminded of the meaning and purpose that his love and sacrifice have in our lives.  We challenge you to bring a friend who may have never experienced the grace of humility gained by these prayers and reflections.

End of year donations to the church:

The end of 2023 is quickly approaching, but you still have time to make a tax deductible donation or gift to the church.

All 2023 tax deductible donations must be postmarked or received in the parish office no later than Dec. 31, 2023.

Collection envelopes: All envelopes and donations received in the New Year’s Eve collection will be recorded in 2023. All collection envelopes and donations received in the New Year’s Day collection will be recorded in 2024.
