St.Mary Catholic Parish, Vermilion, Ohio
At Walsh & Associates, we consider it a true privilege to walk alongside faith communities as they seek to strengthen their mission and secure their future. Partnering with St. Mary Catholic Parish in Vermilion, Ohio, was a particularly inspiring experience. From the very beginning, parishioners expressed deep love for their church and a shared vision to make it more welcoming, beautiful, and accessible for all who gather to worship.
Through thoughtful planning, open communication, and prayerful discernment, the parish identified three key priorities, Accessibility, Renovation, and Maintenance, that would both preserve St. Mary’s sacred heritage and prepare it for the generations to come. Guided by this vision, the Honoring Our Past, Securing Our Future capital campaign took shape.
What made this campaign remarkable was the parish’s wholehearted support. Parishioners didn’t just agree with the plans, they embraced them with enthusiasm, generosity, and faith. From the accessibility ramp and new vestibule to the restoration of sacred art, the redesign of the sanctuary, and the preservation of the beloved steeple, every goal resonated deeply with the community’s desire to honor God through beauty and inclusion.
Through collective effort and steadfast belief, St. Mary Parish successfully raised the funds needed for their planned improvements. It was a powerful testament to what can happen when a parish unites around a shared mission.
For us at Walsh & Associates, this journey with the members of St. Mary Parish was more than professional, it was profoundly spiritual. We witnessed a vibrant faith community come together in hope, stewardship, and gratitude to renew its sacred home and ensure its light continues to shine for generations.
