St. Mary Catholic Church (Coeburn, Virginia)

Project: New Light Fixtures – Goal: $2,000

St. Mary has been a place of steady faith and quiet prayer for our community. But the lighting inside the church tells a different story. The current fixtures are outdated, dim, and unreliable, and some no longer work at all. It affects everything from reading during Mass to seeing the sanctuary clearly.

Good lighting may seem like a small thing, but it changes the entire feel of a church. Bright, warm light makes the space inviting and helps people pray with focus and reverence. Right now, the poor lighting makes the church feel darker than it should, and it’s time to bring new light into the space.

This Giving Tuesday, we are asking for help to raise $2,000 to replace the old fixtures with safe, energy-efficient lighting that will brighten the parish for many years.

If St. Mary has ever been part of your story or your family’s faith, we hope you’ll consider supporting this project. Your generosity will help shine new light in a place that has given spiritual light to so many.

At St. Mary’s, we are a small but deeply loving parish family. When one of us is in need, the whole community feels it because that is who we are.
