James Hoban, the architect of the White House, was a founding member of St Mary's.  This connection was discovered by graduate student James McEnerney, who just completed his thesis.  The Preservation Society of Charleston and the White House Historical Association are pleased to present St Mary's with a historical plaque.  It is proudly displayed on our front gate.

BISHOP'S ANNUAL APPEAL
The Bishop’s Annual Appeal is a primary source of funding to help sustain and expand ministries in the 94 parishes, 21 missions, and 33 Catholic schools and agencies throughout the diocese. As stewards of God’s gifts, you are asked to support the needs of our diocese through your PRAYERS. You are also asked to share your gifts and talents by participating in parish or diocesan ministries. Finally, all members of our diocese are invited to grow in generosity by making a sacrificial gift through a pledge or a one-time donation.Your gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal helps to sustain Catholic schools, parishes, programs of religious education and campus ministry, and initiatives to foster vocations as well as respect for life. Additionally, through its support of Catholic Charities, the Appeal serves people in South Carolina and abroad whose lives are affected by natural disasters, illnesses, hunger, and economic hardship.

You can learn more or donate HERE.
So far this year, the Bishop’s Annual Appeal has pledges totaling over $3.5 million dollars with almost $3 million of that already collected. Our parish families have contributed $7,264 toward our goal of $27,228. This represents 26.68% of our goal from 9.70% of our registered parishioners.
As of March 28, 2022, all COVID-19 protocols that were implemented for the celebration of Mass and the Sacraments
have been removed.  The suspension of distribution of the Precious Blood remains in effect until further notice. 
(Any future COVID protocols will be at the pastor's discretion, as need arises.)
