St. Mary's Catholic School

In a small city, a school resides alongside a busy road. In the front of the building, an old, decrepit sign sits. It makes a feeble attempt in sharing it's locale and information with the passer-by, but dramatically fails in every regard.

This, my friends, is St. Mary's School sign in Niles, MI:

But, imagine this :

As you round the bend on Interstate 139, you see, plainly, the proud title of : St. Mary's Catholic School

It's a beacon, a statement - something that we can share with our community. Our public-facing events, our joys, birthdays, and school information. The reader learns something new each time they pass by. They are blessed by scriptures, images, and messages of love. They're informed of opportunities of how they can experience community at our school. They learn of how many special and delightful events we have and want to become a part.

This is what #igiveCatholic could help us do this year : raise money to purchase a new sign. We desperately need this update to prove to the community we're active and thriving. A new sign would help reflect our growing goals and current vigor as a school. We want the face of our building to reflect the light inside!

Last year, our donors made our dream come true : we began a Tuition Assistance Fund through the generous donations given on this platform. Can we hit another home run this year?

On Giving Tuesday, support St. Mary Church as we continue to shape lives of faith through religious formation and ministry programs! Give Back & Give Catholic!
