This as yet unplanned activity focuses around the appointment of Rev. Michael Healy as St. Mary Parish's first pastor in May of 1853. Possible proposed activities include the regular Saturday Liturgy followed by a procession of the recent First Communicants ending with a May Crowning in honor of Mary, our Patroness. This has not been finalized and if you would like to be a part of planning this celebration, please contact either Fr. Charlie or any of the 175th Core Committee members: Fr. Charlie Diedrick, Fr. Tom Hagedorn, Shari Dill, Mary Ann Cunningham, Patty Jurecko, Dave Stillwell, or Mike Moore. We will pass your name along.

This activity corresponds with the June 1886 Dedication of the new church building for St. Mary Parish. Featured activities include a Parish Liturgy outdoors at New Russia Township Hall in Oberlin, followed by a parish picnic utilizing NRTH's indoor and outdoor facilities. The bones of this activity are in place but we could use your help volunteering to complete plans and family activities. To volunteer, please contact Fr. Charlie or any of the 175th Core Committee Members: Fr. Charlie Diedrick, Fr. Tom Hagedorn, Shari Dill, Mary Ann Cunningham, Patty Jurecko, Dave Stillwell, or Mike Moore. We will pass your name along.
