The Steeple

In July 2025, the steeple of St. Mary’s was struck by lightning. Fortunately, no one was injured and the church remains standing, but in need of repairs.

Currently, the original steeple has been removed and the building has a temporary roof to protect it from the elements. The new steeple is being assembled.

Thank you for your continued support of our historic parish.

The steeple was removed and has been replaced with a temporary roof while the new steeple is being manufactured.
