Our Campaign

As The Church of Saint Mary the Virgin embodies the spiritual house that sustains our faith, so we are called to sustain the material aspects of Saint Mary the Virgin with the reinforcements necessary to preserve its physical structure. We relish the history of our liturgy and music inside Saint Mary's open doors. We commence this capital campaign, giving as best as we are able to ensure that these doors will always be open, to Times Square and beyond.
