Midsummer at St. Mary’s was begun in 2011 as a fundraiser to help restore the lovely building. A committee of local people is working on both the June fundraiser and the restoration of the church. An addition is being planned which will contain a kitchen, bathroom facilities and space to house programs in the arts, health care, senior citizen activities and craft facilities, and various other educational programs.
