Parish Club
President: Mr. Lucien Dalpe
E-Mail: parishclub@stmar.org

The Parish Club was founded in 1955 by a group of men who wanted to assist the Parish by raising funds and aiding in any financial or spiritual way. The idea of forming a club was the result of some discussions at a breakfast meeting at the Holy Name Society. At the time, the women of the parish did all the fund raisers and the men realized it was time for them to get involved. That night a meeting was held and they voted to form the Parish Club.

Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month starting at 7:00 PM. Doors open at 5:30 PM with a light dinner at 6:30 PM, so come early to socialize with fellow members before the meeting. Once a year an election is held to vote in new officers. The elected positions are President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and a Secretary. The Pastor is also one of the Officers.

The Parish Club is not just a fund raising organization because a lot of the events scheduled are focused on getting families together as well as socializing with fellow parishioners.

Some of the events are:

  • The Ham and Bean Supper I - held in April
  • Pancake Breakfast held every 2nd Sunday of the month from 8:00AM to 9:30AM
  • Lowell Spinners Baseball Game - held in August
  • The Parish Picnic - held in September
  • The Ham and Bean Supper II - held in October
  • Turkey Raffle held in November
  • The Children's Christmas Party - held 1st Sunday of December

Some of the fund raisers are:

  • The 600 Club - held on the 2nd Sunday of the month at 9:00 AM in the Parish Hall - Free Pancakes, donuts, coffee, tea, milk.
  • The Children's Christmas Party Raffle - held in November on the 2nd Sunday at 9:00 AM after the 600 Club Raffle.
  • The Turkey Raffle - held in November

Some of the projects that the Parish Club funded are:

  • The remodeling of the Parish Hall
  • Replace the interior carpets in the Church
  • Painted the interior of the Church
  • The new sound system for the Church
  • New outside doors for each classroom of the Parish Center
  • Removal of asbestos tiles in the Parish Center.
