At the Parish of Saint Mary, we are currently seeking volunteers to help maintain the church grounds by mowing the lawn, weeding the gardens, trimming bushes, and ensuring the property remains clean and welcoming.

Why is this important?
Due to limited financial resources, the parish is unable to employ a full-time custodian. At this critical time, it is essential that we work together to keep our parish in good condition. With the construction fencing still surrounding the front, an unkempt property may give the impression that our parish is closed. More importantly, it sends the wrong message to our community and to our new bishop, Bishop Reidy, about our commitment to the future of Saint Mary Parish.

How can you help?
A sign-up sheet is available on the parish bulletin board. Simply choose a week that works for you and volunteer your time to assist with any needed tasks during that period—mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, trimming bushes, or removing trash. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps make a difference.

Are tools available?
Yes. The parish office has an electronic garage door opener providing access to lawn equipment, including mowers, a weed trimmer, rakes, poles, and trash bags.

To sign up or for more information, please visit the parish office or call us at 860-887-2565.
Together, let us take pride in our parish and keep it beautiful for all who come to worship.
