Special Notice:
Parish Improvement
Projects
St. Mary’s Parish assumed projects in 2005 to repaint all
exterior window frames of the church and re-roof the rectory and repair
cornice work and install guttering on the rectory. Additional repairs
were made to the school. Other future goals recommended by the Parish
Maintenance Committee include improving the landscaping at the grotto to
include a larger plaza on the east side with seating benches and new
plantings around the grotto to surround it as a special place of
meditation and prayer; a new landscape plan for the front of the church
and parking to include relocation of power poles, installation of
decorative pole lamps along new walkways, new concrete in the front of
the church as well as plantings to minimize mowing and maintenance of
the steep banks.
Donations are invited to offset costs of these improvements. Please
consider making an offering to these projects by completing this
Donation form.
In addition, St. Mary's Parish is pleased to offer
professional photographs of the church. Enrolled on the Kansas Register
or Historic Places in 1978 and on the National Register of Historic
Places in1980, St. Mary's Church is today one of the most ornately
decorated rural churches in the U.S.
Photos are available for purchase at $10 each. These are 8 x 10,
two-sided prints. You may order photos
here. Your photos and an invoice will be mailed to you within a few
days. Proceeds from this project go towards support of other parish
projects.
