What a wonderful evening as we celebrated the 175th Anniversary of St. Mary’s Church together!

A heartfelt thank you to our Social Committee and all of the volunteers whose countless hours of planning, preparing, decorating, serving, and cleaning made this celebration such a success. Your generosity and dedication are a true reflection of the spirit of our parish.

We are deeply grateful to Archbishop Michael Mulhall for celebrating Mass with us and for sharing a heartfelt homily that reminded us of the deep Christian roots planted by the early settlers in Chesterville. His inspiring message encouraged us to continue building upon the faith that has united our parish community for 175 years.

Thank you as well to Gloria’s Catering for the delicious meal that everyone enjoyed.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to Eric Duncan and Tony Fraser for joining us in this special celebration and supporting our parish community.

Finally, thank you to every parishioner, former parishioner, family member, and friend who came together to celebrate this milestone. Your presence made the evening truly memorable and reminded us that St. Mary’s is much more than a building—it is a family of faith built through generations of prayer, service, and love.

As we celebrate 175 years of history, we look forward with hope and gratitude to the years ahead. May God continue to bless St. Mary’s and all who call it home.
