Thank you for being a part of Notre Dame de la Mer Catholic Community and for supporting the work of the Church with your time, talent, and treasure. Your presence and your contributions are a true blessing. 

We are all blessed to have such beautiful churches and after many wonderful years of worship, prayer, and the sacraments, are now asking for help to address three immediate concerns (identified below). The years have taken a toll on many parts of both our churches, and this campaign is asking for assistance with the most urgent needs to enable Notre Dame de la Mer to continue to provide a comfortable and beautiful environment.

No vision this big comes without a price, but we believe that by praying and working together, we can build something great, not for our glory, but for God’s. If we are to build what is needed to support our growing faith family and do the work of our Church for years to come, we will need everyone in our community to make an additional, significant, financial sacrifice, just as those who have gone before us. 

Consider the story of the widow’s mite from Luke 21:1-4. In this parable, Jesus speaks of rich people contributing their gifts to the offertory, followed by a poor widow who gave two small coins. Jesus viewed her contribution as a sacrificial gift because she truly felt the impact in her daily life. 

Thank you for your support, your prayers, and for being part of this project and community. It is a blessing to walk beside you. 

In the Peace of Christ, 

Fr. Cadmus Mazzarella, Pastor
