The Centennial Club - $100 for the 100th- was started at the end of 2011 to help us reach our fundraising goal for the Capital Campaign at the time of the 100th Anniversary Celebration of St. Mary Magdalen Church. This project was a tremendous success, thank you to all who have participated in this historic opportunity! It was also announced that the names of Centennial Club members will be included in the new time capsule. We have provided the names of the Centennial Club for final review before the list is sealed in the Time Capsule. Call the Parish office at 893-0244 as soon as possible if you see and error or omission on the list.
