Teddy Bear Campaign!
The St. Martin de Porres Council of the Knights of Columbus wishes to thank our generous parishioners who    donated to their Teddy Bear Campaign for First Responders to use when comforting children in times of crisis. Nearly 300 bears were collected and distributed to representatives from York County’s Sheriff’s Department and Fire Department, and the Rock Hill Police Department by Grand Knight Larry Facelli. Pictured here are representatives from the Police Department.

Check out our beautiful new mural!
Stop by Bannon Hall and view our breathtakingly beautiful church mural! Created by local artist Alex Patterson, the mural is a vibrant illustration of St. Mary Church’s humble beginnings in 1945, which includes names of its very first parishioners, and its evolution to today and our amazing future growth.

What an honor!
St. Mary’s very own Susie Hinton was recognized as a Trailblazer for Women at the South Carolina NAACP Conference on March 15 in Columbia.
