• 1/11/22:  SMM Parish needs to raise $5,872 to meet our Annual Catholic Appeal goal for 2021. If you can help in any way, please visit Ways to Give to donate online & be sure to mark that it is for SMM Parish. The Development Office will continue collecting the balance of the monies pledged through Jan. 25, 2022. This gives us an opportunity to collect additional donations toward our goals and individuals an opportunity to fulfill their pledged donations.

• 1/6/22:   In response to the rising numbers of positive COVID-19 cases, particularly the Omicron variant, the Diocese of Wilmington is issuing new COVID-19 protocols for all parishes effective January 6, 2022.  We encourage all attendees to be masked while attending Mass.  To view all the updated guidance in detail visit our COVID-19 Guidance page.

The cry room renovation project began on 1/17/22, repairing the floor and returning it to its original use as a baptistry.  New floors, a baptismal font and pew refinishing will take place.  This project will cost between $17,000 - $20,000 and will take a couple of weeks to finish.  Please do not enter the room during the renovation project.  View progress of our renovations of this room in our baptistry photo album.

Background: a buckle was identified in the cry room floor in November 2021.  At that point it was closed off and was assessed by professionals.
