DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

The mission of the Committee is to establish, manage and most importantly, to build the Reverend Henry Miller Endowment Fund in order to help preserve the long-term financial stability of St. Mary Magdalen School.

At the urging of the Diocese, the committee was established in 1996 by Pastor Rev. William F.Graney. Parishioners Paul Replenski, Michael Connelly and Vincent Schiavi headed up the Committee's initial efforts. Initial fund raising efforts included several annual mail campaigns and a number of special events such as 5K Run/Walks, golf outing, Grandparent/Special Adult days and comedy nights. The fund has sponsored tuition assistance programs, technology enhancements and contributed $40,000 in 2006 toward a new boiler system for the school.

Parishioners, alumni and friends of St. Mary Magdalen School who wish to make donations or bequests directly
to the School Development Fund should specifically designate the fund when making their contribution. Checks should be made payable to SMM School Development Fund and mailed to the Parish office.
