CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PARISH: Thank you very kindly for all you do for our parish. I am humbled and grateful. Unfortunately, we are still falling behind in our
Sunday collections due to the pandemic. I am always grateful for all you do for this great community of faith. Parish Giving is a useful option and safe to use. Many parishioners are using this option for their Sunday Offering because they realize how important it is to keep the parish financially stable. I hope you also choose this use of Electronic Funds Transfer for your offering. Please contact Sandi at the Parish Office Center and she will gladly assist you.

The Bonanza Raffle will be drawn on Saturday, October 24 after the Saturday afternoon Mass. The Raffle will be drawn outdoors by our new patio adjacent to the Parish Office Center. Thank you very much for your participation. You can drop your ticket stub and its donation in the Sunday collection marked: "Bonanza Raffle" or mail it to the Parish Office Center.
A LEGACY OF FAITH; CELEBRATING 100 YEARS: Thank you very much for your kind generosity towards our Capital Campaign. If you are able, we are requesting a few more donations to help us reach our goal of $2M. Whatever gift, small or large, is a gift to God and His Church. It is
truly a blessing! CHRISTIAN INITIATION: Saint Mary Parish is happy to announce that it will conduct its in person RCIA sessions this Fall in Annex Room 1 on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 PM until 8:00 PM. If anyone knows a person called by Christ to be one with us in the Catholic Church please

Parish Debt (Gold Envelope) Debt……………………………………………... $758,875.52 Debt Reduction (Gold Envelope)……………….. $291.25 New Debt Total…………………………………. $758,584.27 $
The Parish Debt represents invoices that we owe to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. These invoices are for assessments, insurance, property and liability, etc. incurred between the years of 2005 – 2012. The Archdiocese has been very gracious to cover these invoices during a time when we could not afford to do so. By using your Parish Debt (Gold) Envelope, you are helping our parish pay the obligation we owe to the Archdiocese. From 2013 to today we are current on all our Archdiocesan invoices. Thank you for your kind generosity.
