St. Mary's Legacy
The Archdiocese has decided to seat the CCSB parish at Holy Cross, with an additional worship site at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church. St. Mary’s, Star of the Sea is to be closed. The St. Mary's Legacy Preservation Team, a committee of parishioners from across our three campuses, has been meeting regularly over the past several months to chronicle the memory of St. Mary's Church and Parish. We invite parishioners and community members past and present to join in this important task.
Here are two opportunities to share your memories of St. Mary's:
Memorial Wall for Sharing
Posts & Pictures
Share any comments and post any pictures you may have of the church building, its history and your family worshipping inside or walking outside. Posts and pictures from the virtual Memorial Wall will also be selected to create a slide show for our Legacy Reception on Saturday November 16th. Our thanks to the Doda family and Charles L. Stevens Funeral Home for providing the database for memorializing and sharing.
