St. Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic School

More Than a Field: A Place to Grow in Faith and Character

An athletic field is more than a place to play. For St. Mary, Star of the Sea, it’s an

investment in the formation of the WHOLE CHILD – body, mind and spirit. It extends the

school’s mission beyond the classroom, giving students opportunities to put faith into

practice through teamwork, perseverance, humility and respect for others.

OUR GOAL:

This year, during our #iGiveCatholic on #GivingTuesday campaign, we are hoping to

raise $200,000 towards our goal to build a beautiful ATHLETIC FIELD that all can

enjoy!

Our goal is lofty but we have been lovingly gifted a generous $100,000 matching

gift from Joe and Mary Adamo to help us turn our dream into a reality! That means

that every donation offered, no matter the amount, is DOUBLED!

Our plan is to fund this initiative immediately if we are fortunate enough to raise the

funds to do so; if not, we will phase this to complete the grass/turf area first and then

work towards adding bleachers, a track and an additional sport area.

THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT:

• Space for physical education classes, outdoor play, field days and school celebrations
• A gathering place for students and families to build friendships and sense of belonging
• A place where students can discover their gifts, learn responsibility to others, and grow into people of integrity and faith.

WITH GRATITUDE:

Every gift, offered lovingly and with a grateful heart, will help to make our vision

possible. You will not only be supporting a place to play…you will be helping our

students practice becoming the people that God is calling them to be.

This Giving Tuesday, GIVE. INSPIRE. BUILD.

Donate today and be part of our students' future!
