St. Mary's Church - MULTIPLY THE HOPE

Mass Times at St. Mary's

* NEW * — MULTIPLY THE HOPE — a wonderful matching campaign by the Diocese of Calgary over the next two years.

— Whatever you give toward St. Mary's, Cochrane Building Fund, and designate it as "Multiply the Hope," the Diocese will double that contribution.

— CLICK HERE for a list of ways to donate (for example: cash/cheque, e-transfer, direct deposit, etc) using the St. Mary's ONLINE GIVING FORM

— OR, you can use the online giving form available on the Calgary Diocese website HERE. But (caution) be sure to name your parish "Cochrane St. Mary" from the drop-down menu (because there are other St. Marys in the Calgary Diocese) and designate your gift "Multiply the Hope" to have the Diocese match your donation.

Imagine ... a parish where our ministries continue to grow.

Where more people are welcomed, more families are supported.

Where we have the space and the freedom to respond to whatever God asks of us.

And yes, imagine the day when we walk into a new sanctuary, together.

That kind of future doesn't happen by accident. It takes intention. It takes sacrifice.

And it takes all of us.

We believe the path forward is clear: focus our efforts on becoming debt-free.

As most of you know, we currently have

a mortgage on our building dating back to

the time we first moved in.

Our current mortgage is $1.4M and with the generosity of a Diocesan match and an initial campaign goal of $200,000,

we could achieve the mortgage principal

to under $1M by Easter 2027.

The MULTIPLY the HOPE campaign will be held in phases with a credible line of sight to being mortgage free in three to six years.

This campaign isn't just about paying

off our debt. It's about faith-filled stewardship, it's about trusting that what we have been given is meant to grow and it's about ensuring that St. Mary's continues to be a place of faith for generations to come.
